My $3000 Truck Rebuild Has a Paint Issue. Think I Can Fix It?!?! - Episode 3

[@bmac8130]

Did your dad dirty with those hot boy seat belts lol

[@SteezyVon]

😂😂😂

[@locoboy46]

i have 2018 silverado, and very similar set up. I caution u against using wheel spacers, I had my front passenger rim fall off during a turn, never ran spacers again. I recommend you update the rims with correct offset for your preferred stance. love the build

[@montyd9010]

Never once had a problem with wheel spacers. I’ve had them on 4 trucks now towing with no problems. It’s a install or maintenance error

[@Underdog_Performance]

I’ve had tons of vehicles with spacers. No issues here.

[@DesertJeepRat]

@locoboy46 is correct! Spacers require tightening often and even if you tighten the lugs diligent they still will fail. Super Sketch!

[@jlinkhart]

Buy quality wheel spacers and use a torque wrench and loctite. 14 years and 150k miles and ive never had an issue. I have seen other people throw them on, not torque them, and had them loosen up. Seen more wheels do that without wheel spacers though, so it’s not a problem unique to wheel spacers, but to unproperly torqued lugs in general.

[@jmorris999]

​@@DesertJeepRat35 years of using spacers on off road applications, Never had an issue.

[@ajg2885]

What a great son, your father should be quite proud!

No idea why this channel isn't more popular. This is better content than all but vice grip garage. Although while he's still small I guess I should enjoy the content

[@StuffTested]

KZbin likes semi-consistent video releases.

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

I enjoy smaller channels... we have more sence of reality.

[@JUST_ONE_ID10T]

Be careful with wheel spacers on these trucks. They are known for the control arms to break when you start using them.

[@Ebacherville]

I love owning my own tire mounting machine and balancer.. Saves me so much time, (1 hour drive to and from to the nearest tire shop, not to mention the time it takes them to mount and balance the tires) no appointments needed, and most importantly, I can do the work and not mess up my wheel finish etc. The last straw before I got my setup was when I took them brand new wheels and tires (wheels in the box still) they scratched the crap out of the inside rim (they didn't have the rubber clamp protectors on) and put on pound on weights, when I asked for stick on weights because of the salt they put on the roads up here in the winter. Once you break that clear coat or finish the road salt just starts destroying both steel and aluminum wheels.. My machine has a bead blaster and multiple arms for doing low profile tires, They can be a pain with out the extra arms, but I have done some real "rubber bands" with no issues. But the basic 1 arm machines and a can of starting fluid can do pretty much everything.. I do recommend rim clamps, there plastic clamps that you slap over the rim and it pushes that side wall into the groove on the rim for you , Its like having extra hands. They can be found on amazon for cheap... If you figure it out, my setup cost me about $2500 plus consumables (wheel weights, bead lube, etc.) so once I mount about 24 set of tires.. its paid for... We swap all seasons for snow tires every year up here for winter so it wont take long to pay for it self just on my own families tires. I have done everything from 25 series low profile tires to 37" mud tires with no problems, beside lifting those 125 lbs 37" mud tires off the machine.

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

I wish I had a tire machine. I have about 20 tire wheel combos I keep drawing around because I don't want to pay to get junk tires off.

[@nathanmaret2465]

Seatbelts are interesting! Not my jam, but also not my truck so my opinion doesn't really matter. :P It's awesome that there's the option to change them up tho, I love it! I'd love to do that type of thing on my car at some point. Keep up the awesome work!!

[@Ckktopa]

Hey Dad, what a great son you have there. 1 in a million. well done!

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Dad's gonna be cruisin the main drag in STYLE Zach!!!! Turned out FANTASTIC!!!

[@viniciusvbf22]

Amazing work, Zach, as always! Swapping and balancing your own tyres is a whole new level of DIY! Congrats!!

[@garrym09]

Great Video, The stereo is probaply a bad module. It is behind the glove box about 6 inches wide and 3/4 of an inch thick, unplug the blue plug and plug it back in and should fix the issue.

[@karlkoenigstein4138]

Also, the tires -might- clear without rubbing with a smaller spacer or no spacer. I’d try that before getting out the saw.

[@jasonpoletta1797]

Not to mention his wheel bearings will thank him lol

[@cassantos9550]

Your a good son and I'm sure your dad's a great guy. God Bless you both.

[@paulmcmain1760]

Great you did this for your father

[@turner6814]

truck looks good! the spacers are actually what's causing the rub. if you went with a smaller spacer like 1" or 3/4" even it would probably go away. i work at a GMC dealership and we run into it a lot. the GMC's have smaller wheel openings than their Chevrolet counterpart. Overall looks good tho 👍

[@michaelbritt639]

I love your videos. I know it takes a lot of work to constantly be moving cameras around while you're sweating your ass off trying to just get the work done. The final product videos are very entertaining and informative. I'm sure your dad is going to love the final product.

[@thorb5191]

Throw spacers on there means you don't like the paint and want worse gas mileage. There is also the possibility that the tires will clear without the spacers. Otherwise it looks good

[@jmorris999]

Two inches in either direction won't matter for that tire making contact. He can probably shift the control arm a bit forward to fix it or maybe a body lift.

[@-_-_-_-318]

Awesome work man! Just found your channel a week or so ago and am really impressed at your skill and determination. Your channel inspires me to take on big projects of my own. If I had one minor nitpick it would be to please rotate in some new music. I’m binging your playlists and some of the tracks can get old. Anyway keep it up!! 👍

[@StanLeesReviews]

Great job I'm so glad your pops is happy with the truck

[@michaelmoore7550]

Dude loves his dad

[@Bcwwoods]

Wow, hard work and good people. All your videos are fun, interesting and creative… thank you. This one has the best ending.

[@Phulse]

Looking amazing your dad's going love it

[@StockYardsTrustCo]

Zach, awesome content as usual. Joy like Christmas morning to see you do this for your father. He is so proud (I'm sure...). Can't wait to see the next video in this series... it looks GREAT!!

[@leeroyadams666]

Great work Zach your father will be so happy ! You’re a stellar dude keep it up ! Love from the Bay Area Cali !!!

[@OldGlaseye-gf7si]

Really like your YT 'process'...tell us what you are going to do, then time lapse, to music, doing it..

[@robertbonesio5498]

You’re going to love your Mickey’s. We love ours.

[@JNis1ger]

Tire machines! Shop goals for sure!

[@MuderDrones-FanJunkie]

I was JUST finishing up the second video and was wondering when the next part would drop. THE VIDEO GODS HAVE BLESSED US! This series for this truck is honestly amazing

[@JSmith-tm5eo]

Looking great! It's cool to watch you grow and build out your garage with new tools!

[@brucemitchell5637]

I can't wait to see your dad's reaction when he sees his new truck!

[@WewuzKangz85]

He’s at his dad’s house so he sees it everyday lol.

[@PeterCut62]

Happy Dad for sure !

[@kuuipoaloha]

Awesome good from the heart. Never take away the love and memories.

[@keitheagle4633]

You did a great job till you put the wheel spacers on it that's hard on wheel bearings and suspension parts especially ball joints

[@jordanarmstrong4839]

Truck is looking absolutely amazing Zach! great work.

[@kenj7153]

I have watched you over the years and seen your confidence grow along with your working skills. keep up the good work!

[@jamesschramm4739]

I bet you really made your Dad really happy, that was GREAT !!!!!!!

[@2001waldo]

Damn fine job and I am crazy jealous over the tire changing equipment. Second the be careful with the spacers. Check them pretty often.

[@benscott1872]

18:06 look at you with a tire machine!! 👏🏻

[@karlkoenigstein4138]

Blurry backup camera is common issue on these trucks. Plug n play aftermarket replacement cameras are avail on Amazon etc.

[@gabechiplin8140]

I'd be proud to have you as a friend so I can only imagine how your family feel about you. You deserve everything good that comes your way👍

[@Brooklynraised68]

Paint the back door and all the way to the tailgate save time bro 👌

[@donkeykong4181]

Looking at purchasing that wheel machine and balancer combo. Can you make a detailed video? I have seen a few other videos but would appreciate your opinion. Especially if you have some lower profile tires to mount. I am guessing everyone will now become a new friend....if they haven't found a reason to do so already.

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

I’m working on a full breakdown video on this

[@vduber03]

Normally I would say na on the seatbelts….but they look fire with the brown/wood and leather interior. I like

[@dadlife8289]

Who cares about the paint blending if you arent selling it. Looks good enough! Great work

[@ChadReynoldsGarage]

Great job as usual. I know others have said it, but make sure you retorque those spacers regularly. Especially after the first few miles. You just need to torque them a few times in the first few weeks and then check them once a month of so to see if they loosen up. They always loosen up a bit but you will be able to tell how often to retorque them after a couple of times doing it and seeing how much they loosen up. You look happy doing this one and the pontoon, keep it up.

[@joanwilliams3221]

Good looking truck I bet you’re dad is happy with it . Keep up the good work 👍

[@gsxjiffy6076]

A man and his Crocs. Love the videos, good job!

[@VanisleNSX]

The truck is coming along nicely, Zachary!

[@jairogarcia5611]

Sheeshhhhhh the seatbelts look cool

[@joshuagraham3222]

What a beautiful truck. I love the color. Turned out great.

[@shmack757]

The new seatbelts look Designer, fancy.

[@jimf5160]

Really a great thing to do for your dad!

[@NBMBC40]

Looks great sure your dad loves it.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

Your dad is going to love this truck.

[@Deadllyy_raptor]

you can be proud of yourself doing all that work! keep it up!

[@RollingwithRuckus]

35s will be the demise of the transmission. I killed the transmission in my 40k mile Silverado because of the 35s. I went back to 33s now

[@jefferyholland]

Shes a keeper. Nice work Zack.

[@mikeseldomridge8052]

I like this route you have taken that involves you saving a vehicle from crusher and making a few bucks.

[@DrummerDanny76]

Have been watching each episode, what a project that was !!!

[@outwrite11]

Great job man. You showed those 35s whose the boss!

[@RODZILLA65]

That's great work and awesome that you are rebuilding this for your Pops! I know he has been very supportive of you every since I started watching when Samcrac introduced us to You. Hopefully you teamed up with AMP steps... I love mine that double as rock sliders on my 2024 Silverado RST with 6 inch lift.

[@mattschamel6550]

A word of caution running spacers. I have a 16 GMC just like that. Mine had 9700 miles when I bought it, I installed 2" wheel spacers right after purchase and at 94k miles both my upper ball joints were wore out. Consider upgrading them while you're working on it and hopefully you see this before you get another alignment lol. Awesome job rebuilding the truck. Keep up the good work!

[@trbstang]

Yet another excellent job Zach!

[@carlospearse7472]

Awesome job!!!

[@edubz6530]

Probably woukdnt rub as much without the spacer?

[@boowiebear]

I live in SWFL and I don’t know how you work outside in the sun. I just get cooked alive. I have only been here 4 years so maybe someday I will acclimate! Nice work!

[@fansofwrestling9115]

That stance is slick kinda makes me want a truck like that those spacers set it off sucks that they rub

[@dezfan]

Quite the transformation.😎

[@maxwilliams4015]

Awesome job man

[@TSOPRANO10]

Nicely done!

[@emon550]

3k to 10k...wow...i could only imagine it would be more than that. good thing you have those tools

[@Grizzlebearleathercrafting]

zach i have been whatching you for years you have came a long way with the type of stuff you keep doing awesome job on that truck your dad is goin to love it.... always look forward to your next videos

[@RandyFord-di1zg]

Looking Good !

[@jonsmith6496]

Your channel rules! 🤘🏻

[@tony_25or6to4]

Tip: If you ever have trouble balancing truck tires, break the bead and rotate the tire 90° and tey again.

[@charlesallen5425]

Looking good, keep up the great work as always.

[@YorkSS10]

Looking good!! Upgrade the stereo with a tablet style. I’ve been considering that on my ‘18

[@claylewis402]

You need your antenna to get your radio working.

[@williamlokar7747]

Is it possible the spacers created the tire clearance problem?

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

It was an issue before the spacers. Adding the spacers didn’t make that big of a difference either way.

[@johngrant1337]

truck looks great , remove spacers , thanks

[@ericgray2863]

Wheel spacers are bad juju. My tow truck driver buddy says it's very common to pick vehicles up that have those and they fail. Keep an eye on em

[@justinsimpson7268]

You need .25 spacer kit for the front tires to correct the rubbing

[@nameunavailable456]

Great video as always. Awesome tire changer machine and balancer!

[@joemac5363]

I’ve seen wheel spacers fail as well as the plastic ones. Being a tow truck driver I’ve seen it happen and a tire go bouncing across lanes hitting cars.

[@JimmyHamAnp]

Looks great as always!

[@laserwizard1]

Impressive work. Great series!

[@Kurt5270]

Great job, not a fan of the wheel spacers

[@danishkhan8312]

I am a truck lover myself. You did a great job n I am sure your dad's gonna love it. Could you also share with us the total cost of repair? It would certainly be interesting to know.

[@pokinatchapunkrawk]

Some 35's run smaller in the same size as other brands. I believe the BFG KO's run on the smaller side.

[@Derekflewell]

Zach I Love your content. I’m guessing you know your dad’s taste that’s why you went with that lift, tires and spacers. I had a similar set up once. Eventually I ditched most of it. I couldn’t stand the road noise as a daily driver. But it looks great.

[@robertlayer1009]

Love your content and all your projects!!!

[@Zack_Johnson]

What an awesome job, man!

[@robertkulps4762]

Dude, you’re awesome keep up the good work

[@gustavokennedy213]

I noticed it right away but white is a hard color to match. great job by the way.

[@jeffh5903]

Great work as usual…your knowledge base is expanding. I think you should ditch the 35’s and the 2” extensions. You shouldn’t have to modify the wheel well to accommodate bigger tires. I looked up the law in Florida because I was curious about whether or not tires that extend beyond the body are even legal. To my surprise it only mentions something about tires can’t block any vantage point for other vehicles. It’s illegal in many states. Either way it’s a bummer for cars trailing in the rain. Extended tires throw so much water out that isn’t contained inside the fender like it was designed. When vehicles are first licensed in Florida, do they require an inspection? Where I live we have annual inspections and a cracked windshield would be reason for failure. You haven’t mentioned it yet, but do you have plans to replace? That would be a daunting job for me but you seem to have the skills to do it yourself. 😊

[@kibngutto]

Looks Great!

[@GUNZ-h3z]

Great job . You might want to Step down on the spacers and you wont have to make modifications to the inner fender.

[@andrewward4246]

the spacers poke a bit much I worry about your nice new paint job!

[@DaVilla1126]

That is only thing I dislike about Chevy trucks. Those boxy wheel wells suck balls. If they were scalloped more to contour of wheels (rounded) they wouldn't rub nearly as bad. Just my thought. It turned out awesome! What a great job and the all the details were and are being addressed. I like it.

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

I say replace brakeline... also, a good practice to tie up caliper so you never let caliper hang on brakeline
