- I took 7 long episodes of this build and compressed them into 1 short(er) video to see the build in much less detail from beginning to end. 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 SAS. 46" Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS. 20" KMC Grenade Beadlocks.

Very few people on this earth have the drive you have! Job well done, truck looks awesome!
Thanks buddy! It was a LOT of work 😅
Us BC Boys don't mess around and Bruce is an exemplary example of that as well as a true testament to the saying "work hard - play hard."
Bruce, your literally the definition of "there's no excuse" iam amazed at how you strive on and do these great builds I wish my friends would help me work on my projects sometimes too and they never want to
Thank you! It’s a lot more work but worth it in the end 👍🏻🍻
@@BruceCookfmx well your killing it bro keep it up! Once I gather the resources I want to lift my suburban and put it on beadlock wheels and I really am thinking about a solid axle swap because I keep destroying the front wheel bearings on the ifs set up. For both my 4x4 burb and the 2 wheel drive burb I guess it's a common problem with these trucks because alot of the ones I see I can tell by the camber that they have bad wheel bearings too. I live in Texas and the roads aren't the best so I guess that tears them up too
@@dewal5772 nothing like the full floating, huge locking hubs, which can be completely disassembled, cleaned, repack fresh grease. And replace individual parts.
Sealed unit bearings might last longer, if they had a grease fitting😁
I will no longer complain when working on my truck after watching you do all this in a wheel chair, Holy shit hats off to you brother
Thanks brother, much appreciated! It was hell at times while doing it but I’m definitely proud of it now and glad I did it. Stupidly excited for my next project as the hellish parts fade 😂🍻
You sir are really an inspiration. I have so much respect and compassion for what you get done. Keep it up. I feel like you get more done on wheels than I do on legs.
Thanks, I appreciate it! It’s not easy 😅 (I also don’t film the me laying in bed until 10 this morning) lol 🍻
@@BruceCookfmxdamn!! It ain't easy for most of us but you still find the strength to just frikkin kill it!!! You have hurdles that many of us dont and yet you still give er full send so now you've left the rest of us with no excuse!! Great job man and you are a true inspiration. Terry Fox did kind of the same thing.....left no one with any excuses!! You're a great teacher not only because of your skills and knowledge but because you think outside of the box. Where most people wont remove a tcase because they dont have xyz tool,or it's too heavy or whatever, you have proven that with enough drive,enough common sense and a ratchet strap that it CAN be done. There's no such thing as can't....especially after watching your videos. Thank you for sharing with all of us!!
When i was healthy thought there couldn’t be anything worse than sitting in a wheel chair. Now with a damaged brain, being constantly tired after doing just basic stuff watching this video makes me jealous (in a good way). Truck looks really cool.
Unreal man Im super impressed! And to have it stolen right before completing it but getting it back in one peice to enjoy the hard work. What a trip... Youre fucking awesome 💪 cant wait to see you ripping in it
Yeah that was an emotional roller coaster! 😂 thanks!
Watching this almost brings a tear to my eye, both eyes even!
Friggin awesome, seeing how you work through nearly any shituation🎯😎☕
DUDE YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!! Congrats to you for having the drive to tackle a job of this magnitude and seeing it to the finish. The tire and wheel combo, the sas swap, you've really got the ol'e girl looking absolutely gorgeous. Congrats again my man. 👊👊🤙🤙👍👍👏👏👏👏👏✌️✌️
Thank you! 🤘🏼🍻
Working on vehicles is hard. Custom fabrication vehicles is harder and takes some serious skill. Working on vehicles and custom fabricating whilst in a wheel chair; nothing short of amazing. This truck is sweet. Good job.
Thanks Daniel, it was ALOT of work 😅
Wow dude you're a beast!
🍻🍻
Your very talented, skilled and can do more than me opposed to me being able to walk.
Hope I didn’t phrase that wrong by any means.
I admire you keep up the great work.
I have want to do something similar to this for awhile but talk my self out of it saying I can’t but man this is amazing it’s a cool build but the fact that you got it done in your situation makes me realize how much I take for granted
every day definitely subscribing to your channel
Thanks buddy! Appreciate the comment. You got this 💪🏼💪🏼 A ton of work but so worth it when you’re done!
I think it's awesome u dont let the chair slow u down! Some good work man! Keep the videos coming!
A hell of a lot more work but feels good to accomplish a big project like this 🍻🍻
Jase from MD here
First vid Ive seen and im subbed bro! Currently looking to SAS my 04 single cab LB. Vide very helpful!
And a 🍻 to you for being non-stop!
Cant wait to binge the other vids lol
Thanks for the sub! Hope you enjoy. Also hope the more specific videos come in handy 👍🏻good luck!
@@BruceCookfmx
Totally will be watching! Any old Jeep XJs your way? Lol. I collect originals btw
Bro that is so bad ass and your a inspiration to a lot of people in the world great job on the truck bro props all the way from Hawaii 🤙🤙🤙
Thanks brother! Appreciate the kind words 🍻 Mahalo
@@BruceCookfmx love the videos bro 🤙🤙🤙
Bro you are FREEEAAAKIN LEGEND!!!...idk how only now i stumbled accross your channel...true inspiration and perfect example of "no excuses" love n respect from hawaii #StayBlessed
Thank you! 🍻
Wow, cool. I just figured out what to do with my 08 Silverado. Thanks for the idea. Truck looks great and I'm glad someone online put some tires on that actually work.
Thanks! Just did the shakedown run last weekend and they worked awesome! 👍🏻🍻
When is a will there is a way,,,, my respects brother
Why is this just now coming up on my CZcams?!? BC is an inspiration to everyone. Love this build!
You’re here now, that’s all that matters 😅🍻
Bro… I just found your channel. I’m so inspired by you and your work. I have an 03 Sierra and I’m seriously considering doing this. I’ve already ordered the fender flares. 😆 I had rust repair to do but this canx that and gives me the look I want. Plus cutting the rust out saves about $600. Can’t wait to see your other projects and videos. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks buddy!
Nice!
Looks damn frikkin good!! And I really like your approach and methodology!! You do what you can with whatcha got!!!
Thank you! 🍻
Im speechless. Nothing like a SAS chevy! Excellent fab skills! Definitely subbed!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
That's a bad ass truck !!!!!!!! Sir old Chevy trucks are the best
We built old 95 1500 did SAS 49 irok when first came out buddy's truck was big awesome but nbs looks great !!!
Ooo nice! I like me some 49 iroks. 👍🏻 I am maaaxed out with 46’s on this set up 😅
@@BruceCookfmx I have rcsb 4.8 I'm torn between SAS and 42s or drop it like rest lol. My luck it stay stock unmolested lol.
That is SICK!
Thanks Keith! 🍻
Dude this thing is sick
Thanks 🍻
Love this truck
🍻
Don't know how I didnt see this before, This thing is a beast. Need to do mine. Unfortunatley not 46". I'm subbed now I need to binge watch.
Thanks dude!
Large Marge looks great!
Thanks Phil! More Marge tomorrow
Damn! You have some serious skill sets! Very inspiring vid !
Thank you 🍻
this is the most badass shit ive seen, good job man!
Thank you! 🍻
Hey bruce, thanks for the motivation. My prerunner ranger was on hold because I broke my foot, I’m learning CAD while I’m down, but after watching you I’m gonna weld something up today I swear it.
That’s what I like to hear! 👍🏻👍🏻
impressive skills. Impressive setup/workarea/shop . So, you turned that pickup into a Jeep. Whatever floats your boat.
Thanks buddy! Funny looking Jeep though 🤔🤣
Incredible my friend! Your an inspiration for sure. Very good taste and incredible work. No one has any excuses if they see this.
Thanks buddy! 🍻
Excellent build!
Thanks! 🍻
@@BruceCookfmx yessir! I’ve SAS’d two of my trucks including a 2500hd and have to commend you on the extensiveness of the project. Seeing them through takes dedication even on a basic build with 2 young guys working on it. You’re a beast man!
Badass! I'm a bit jealous, just a lil bit!!! Lol
Thanks!
Mad props
Thanks Andy!
I like how you cut the stock bumper like an OEM+ look that I like.
Thanks! Ya I love big relatively stock looking rigs
Thanks man! Now i have no excuses
Whoa whoa whoa! What a set up! I thought I was good this is great! Amazing way to bring this truck up the ranks.
Damn that's so cool my dad will love to do the same thing like you did and he's always interested to that.
Just found your channel and all I can say is great job and you've really set a fire under my ass to get my build done seeing you do it on a wheel chair just made my whole mind switch no more procrastinating. Thank you. I have a single cab long bed 2004 sierra I want to do something similar to what you've done
Amazing work, heart and soul
🍻
Saludos desde República Dominicana soy técnico automotriz desde hace más de 20 años y nunca había visto un hombre con tanto valor hermano Dios te de larga vida que buen trabajo
Thank you Jose! 🍻
The fact you do everything yourself, major respect dude. I usually don't put on the notifications bell but you sir, have taken that cake and ate it. Keep up the kickass videos!
Thank you! I appreciate that
@@BruceCookfmx you're incredibly welcome dude. Good morning btw!
I drive a lowered crew cab and your channel makes me want to own a lifted one to sick work bro 🛻🏁
Thanks buddy! I also want a lowered one 😅
So looking forward to more 'Marge in the Wild' videos... ready to lead some of those rear-steer moon buggies across the wilderness... Nice re-mix of the build BTW...
Yes! Clean mod. Like your wheel treatment... Now I want to start on my Suburban.
Oooo a suburban would be sick
Latley i havent been too motivated getting to my rig as much as i like. seeing you in the garage in a wheel chair getting it DONE. it made me realize i need to get my shit together. you earned a Sub from me man 3 minutes in.
Thank you! Means a lot. I know the feeling of losing motivation but so worth it when it’s done! 👍🏻🍻
I’m a HUGE fan of the cat eye Chevy, I’m also diggin’ this whole truck man.
Thank you
Not me" I've always thought the cat eye trucks look like girl trucks, when I seen the photo of the truck for the video, the reason why I click watch, was because I said hey cool, man that one doesn't look all Prissy or like it's given me the look trying to get me to put a dollar in its g-string, must be a combination of the SAS & the black paint. It's more like a snarling dragon 👍
@@kevinwest3689 🤣🤣🤣
Damn dude nice SAS build. And doing it in a wheel chair was last thing I expected clicking on the video haha
Thank you! It wasn’t easy 😅
Always wanted to SAS my GMC sierra. Seems like soooo much work n knowhow though lol
Marge is so awesome
New Marge video coming in a week or so 👍🏻 she did not behave this time though 😬
Awesome bro!
🍻🍻
Dude! You are awesome!
Insanely cool brotha!😎🤘
Thanks buddy!

Looks great! Interesting to see how it comes together. The plastic tubes are a great idea. Just need some snow or mud now! Good job!!
Thank you! It won’t see much mud, but it does great in the snow! (Check out some of the other videos for snow and snow recoveries)
That's sick. And im pretty early haha
Man the skill level is at a million. Not even trying to be funny much respect but your running circles around people including me. That’s one bad ass truck for a badass MFR. Much respect and ultra humbled by just this video gained a sub and the video is not even over lol. 💪🏽🤙🏽

Amazing work !
Thank you!
Great Job!!! Great Work!!!
Thank you!
Mad props man! Awesome build!
Thank you! It was a ton of work! 😅🍻
First video of yours ive seen. Awsome work and u got a new subscriber. Cant wait to go back and see your content.
Thanks Mikey! Much appreciated 🍻
Can you do this to my GMC Savana? I only want to run 35s tho.
I'm willing to bet you'd get A LOT of views if you showed how to do a solid front axle swap on a van. There are so many people out there who want to do a SAS on a van, but SOOO few detailed resources on how to do it. It would be a hit for sure!
I would love to do this to a van!
@@BruceCookfmx ok! When should I drop it off? 😊
Great video. Truck looks awesome 👌
Thank you!
OMG!!! I HAVE TO DO THAT TO MY SUBURBAN!!!!! GREAT VIDEO!
I agree, you definitely do! 😃👍🏻
Thank you 🍻
@@BruceCookfmx great ratio of tire size to truck size! looks incredible! thanks for the inspiration!
Fantastic job,
Thanks!
Amazing build man, I just found your channel and will be following!
Thank you!
