I’ve been waiting to see this!! Sick truck!

[@nathanielegbert]

Thank you so much! Thank you for waiting for the video!

[@sp192x]

Happy to watch these upgrades. I hope to lift my '22 soon.

[@nathanielegbert]

Thanks for watching. These trucks are way better lifted! Good luck my friend!

[@brandonhernandez9453]

Dude I’ve been following the build since the beginning and it’s phenomenal. It sounds and looks like a beast!🙌🏻🤙🏻

[@nathanielegbert]

Thanks man. It’s been a long time coming, but turned out amazing. Thank you for watching.

[@brandonhernandez9453]

What time did you get if you don’t mind me asking? I’m looking to getting a tune I just don’t know which one. I have a 2022 diesel Z71🤘🏻 @Nathaniel Egbert

[@nathanielegbert]

@@brandonhernandez9453 it was a custom tune. I honestly couldn’t tell you if I wanted to. Everything diesel related is fight club status. You don’t ask questions. So I really dont know.

[@nathanielegbert]

@@brandonhernandez9453 I know there’s some places out of Canada that offer tunes.

[@Rwhistle132]

this truck is sick, great job. the only thing i would recommend upgrading to the steel drift shaft if you haven't already it looks like the aluminum one in the video. the shaft is strong just if you ding it, it will deform and twist.

[@nathanielegbert]

Hey thanks a lot. I’ll be sure to look into that. Yeah I don’t want to have that happen on the road.

[@H0CKEY604]

Love the headlight mod !

[@nathanielegbert]

Thanks a lot. It definitely changed/completed the whole look.

[@PNW_Bison]

A beast!

[@nathanielegbert]

Thanks man!

[@ismaelcorona986]

Like the video bro keep it up

[@nathanielegbert]

Thank you. I will! I appreciate you watching 🤙🏻

[@lunamaria1048]

I love this gen Colorado!

[@nathanielegbert]

I think it’s definitely going to be a classic. And awesome set up. I love it too!

[@lunamaria1048]

@@nathanielegbert The Colorado is currently in it's pinnacle. I'm not as excited as others about the 2023 turbo 4.

[@nathanielegbert]

@@lunamaria1048 I’m with you there. I hope we are pleasantly surprised. But I’m a diesel fan, so it’s a hard sell.

[@lunamaria1048]

@@nathanielegbert The mileage of the 2023 is apparently not even better and supposedly a few MPG worse than current models lol. If that is true, I'm seeing no benefit in to the consumer.

[@georgefloydsinhellwbreonna5330]

I’ve got a ‘19 with the HD Diesel delete/tune. It runs great but HD isn’t around. Also, you can absolutely post websites and not get into trouble. That’s literally not a thing nor has it ever been. I’ve had daft people argue about this issue.

[@user-ik3wp5co5v]

멋찐 차량입니다!😊

[@usmcmsgt5487]

Love to do 37 on my Silverado ZR2 6.2L however if i go that route then it's a domino effect .....have to lift it, regearing, triming, recaibration of tire height/size to get proper speed, getting a pulsar turner, an alignment, more fuel etc etc... ugh..... I wish. This had to take weeks to do it right... very nice.

[@nathanielegbert]

Dude… this is exactly what happened with me lol. I started and then is was a snowball. It got really out of hand. But it did turn out awesome. Make sure you film the progress if you pull the trigger 👌🏻

[@sp192x]

We need an update please

[@nathanielegbert]

I’ll be doing another video soon. It’s in the shop getting some more work done 👌🏻

[@utahnick]

@@nathanielegbert Cmon man

[@blade9506]

Well done 👍🏼 awesome build. Do you still rub with the 37s?

[@nathanielegbert]

Not at all. Never have rubbed. The flare kit is amazing.

[@gdennison914]

I'd like some info on those pieces that you put over the seams where the pinch welds were cut out of the fender wells, did you make those yourself or can they be found somewhere? Thanks, and that's a top notch build, super nice!

[@nathanielegbert]

Those came with the AEV bison high mark flare kit. Really well planned kit for these trucks. I would definitely recommend.

[@utahnick]

Badass

[@nathanielegbert]

What kind of video would you like to see?

[@utahnick]

@@nathanielegbert I just saw your more recent short videos. Thought this was the last thing you ever posted. A walk around talking about the mods would be worth watching for me. Talk about any obstacles you had to overcome? Idk. Awesome truck though!

[@nathanielegbert]

@@utahnick thanks man. Ok I’ll do that. 👌🏻

[@thetrailoutthere]

Beautiful setup! How's your mpg? Can't decide if I want 35s or 37s on mine

[@nathanielegbert]

If you get the high mark flares, I’d run either. I think you need some lift for 37’s. 35’s with level kit. I’m all about the 37’s though lol. It looks really good.

[@user-zy4nc5co1r]

Can u list the items you used for your upgrades? Like the lighter etc .thanks

[@nathanielegbert]

Oh man. There’s so many to list. I can give you a few key ones directly if you want? What do you mean by lighter?

[@FRdemo9]

Curious if you re-geared? How does the 2.8l drive those tires around? Thinking about going to 35s on mine.

[@nathanielegbert]

I did 4:56 nitro gears. It does awesome. Can’t tell they are there with the gears.

[@bigdaddymex2003]

Hahaha. Blocks come on man !!

[@nathanielegbert]

Ha yeah, it’s what came with the bds lift. Really nice lift. Also the baja kit. After $10k in suspension, I couldn’t justify more.

[@taffy1564]

Brother when are you posting an update video?

[@nathanielegbert]

Hey bud. Sorry! Been crazy busy. But I do have a Instagram for the truck. @thealphatruck

[@johnnidiaz6099]

can i put the multimatic suspension from the zr2 on my duramax LT?

[@nathanielegbert]

Unfortunately not the frame mounts are different. I was going to get some nice kinetik upper arms, but they only make them for zR2’s and I asked their sales guy and the geometry won’t fit the standard Colorado.

[@johnnidiaz6099]

thanks you

[@johnnidiaz6099]

@@nathanielegbertCan you recommend another good suspension kit?

[@nathanielegbert]

@@johnnidiaz6099 are you looking for lift or more prerunner style of suspension?

[@nathanielegbert]

@@johnnidiaz6099 I’d go with bds for a lift kit. They have two options. Both are the same, just different shock set ups.

[@MrLegendL2118]

What's the fuel mileage now with the bigger tires??

[@nathanielegbert]

I’m getting 23mpg now. Was 32. 37” tires.

[@scotw67]

What extended axles are you using?

[@FedFire8404]

Thats not a ZR2

[@tourettes1713]

Not a bison, no lockers or dssv shocks, but nice try.
