I think it is so cool that you leave the parts where your little boy is being a kid in the video and you don't even seem fazed by it in the slightest. I've seen this in a few of your videos. From one dad to another, I find that pretty cool! I also see your point on the zero emissions and hopefully it won't be a huge deal
Yes bro finally!!!! I am literally following your upgrades and applying to my trail boss!
Ok, im a Ford F150 guy but that Chevy is georgeous. Nice work
Comment on the battery car , they say go green is so great but I’ve worked in a battery recycling plant and they put more hazards in air ,water,land and hazardous to the employees so I don’t see how electrical cars are so great

About electric vehicles, I think its funny, how are all these vehicles going to get charged? As of now power plants run of coal, natural gas. So what are those power plants going to run off?

It's going to be more nuclear power plants. Probably everyone will have solar panels on their houses and they are going to have to figure out a way to use the ocean currents to generate power and spread that power across the country.

Electric is like the ICE, dependency on non-renewable resources. No one talks about the drop in capacity and need for battery replacement at some point. Or as you mentioned the need for more and more lithium.

My fellow Chevy guy.... I watch your videos and thank you for the ideas of DIY!!! I just upgraded from a 2018 Chevy 1500 to a 2021 Chevy 2500HD Z71 Duramax Midnight Edition.
Should start a poll for blackout or chrome lovers lol
I have the same truck but in the blue/grey/green color. LOVE IT. Thank you for the amazing inspiration! I am starting my truck to mimic yours this spring once it gets warmer. Thanks!!
I did this, but I found it a lot simpler (because I have fatter arms) to take off the corner steps in the bumper. Great video!
last few weeks looking at trucks. Watching your videos sent me off the Dodge line and back to Chevy. I'm now a owner of a 2021 2500hd midnight edition.
Love your videos!!! Just ordered a 2021 LT TRAIL BOSS. Black of course...your giving me tons of ideas...keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what you do next
I'm a little torn. I love the sound of a straight piped V8 and I love the feeling you get while working on cars but the fact that electric cars have 100% torque at the wheels instantly is pretty awesome. Also I don't think people realize how much a lithium mine destroysthe environment as well pollution considering all equipment used is diesel and not even close to being economicly fuel efficient
The black tips look awesome Great video
My 2020 Chevy Silverado RST which I bought November 1, 2020 has the Midnight Edition and everything is blacked out except the Z71 front fender emblems and muffler tips which are chrome. Yours look good now and may do mine. Just came back to Chevy after many years with Ford and I am 69 but not happy about electric engines but at my age won’t have to worry about it much. Have a daughter 14 and she once said I hope they don’t have electric engines before I can drive and she will be eligible to get learners permit in 6 months. She already knows how to drive though. Thanks for all your videos because I am an old guy who loves cars and always have. Still detail mine and my wife’s. She is 23 years younger and loved cars also.
Good call...took the same high heat rustoleum to my entire exhaust system when I first picked up my 2018 F150. Painted anything silver underneath and added a 16" black powder coated tip.
Great job! i really enjoy it when you start up any of your vehicles, the exhaust tone is perfect.
I did the exact same thing to my 2020 trail boss. If you have an electric socket that works wonders to get to those bolts. I also used the same exact paint you’re using and they turned out great. Good video!
No wonder she doesn’t mind you being in the garage all day. My wife would love it if I detailed her “car” like you do. I wouldn’t hear any complaints lol
I need to buy some of your tools and carry them with me in the vehicle man, helpful thanks, dave
Good job making it look easy as you lay your head back on your creeper out of frustration. Looks really good btw
Now you just need the matte black CHEVROLET tail what’s inserts.. SWEET LOOKING TRUCK! I have the North sky Blue 2021 and powder coated the exhaust tips gloss black, have matte black letter inserts and bought the black out badge kit with the Z still in red to tie in the red hook up front.. I love the look, thanks for the inspiration
I love the Trail Boss mods. I just bought a black RST (first Chevy former Ford guy). I love it and use your Trail Boss videos as inspiration. Keep up the great videos.
How's the flat black holding up 3 months later? Just bought a blue 2021 and don't care for the chrome.
Thats were you put the forklift fork!!!😂😂😂
Little tip about the turn signals they make q vinyl blackout sticker for those ugly orange turn signals. They are roughly 20 bucks on ebay and it gets rid of that ugly orange. Next you need to blackout the wheels and get black lug nuts
Blacking mine out also. I changed the chrome lugnuts too.
Killed it 🔥🔥
Yes, 100% agree with your thoughts on all this! I don't want to ever not drive a truck and I've recently found a love for diesel vehicles... so electric just doesn't sound fun! also never thought about using that product on my car and now I'm totally going to go get some asap! haha
I painted mine with Plastidip (like the badges) and it worked great. Heat was not an issue and didn't require any sanding or special prep.

I tried the ratchet... F' that. 30 minutes and I had 1 bolt halfway done. Bought an S-LONG Cordless Ratchet Wrench Set from Amazon. I had the tips off in less than 10 minutes. Painting the tips now. Swapping out the lugs on the Trailboss 6.2 while I wait for the paint to dry with the Gorilla Automotive 96644BDX Black Factory Style Wheel Lock System Love the videos.. keep them coming.
I'm with you, about the electric vehicle's. You got sum nice vehicle's!
Screw the electric vehicles I say, and on another note, if u take the foot steps in the bumper out the tips are waaaaaayyy easier to remove lol, I powder coated mine gloss black
Thanks for the video.. I’m torn between paying $200 for the gloss black. But now i like the way you just did it in Matte black for cheap.
Thank you brudda I love that u said that cause I hate the idea of freaking electric vehicles they make it seem like every middle class has money to buy new vehicles and the electric ain't gonna be cheap i hate the idea

It's inevitable if we want to keep living on the planet (though I think it's too little too late.) No one said you have to own an electric vehicle, at least not yet. I'm sure one day they'll ban combustion engines from operating on public roads and relegate them to off-road use only before eventually making them illegal to own. I love the combustion engine but I see the writing on the wall.

Old video but you can take the bumber step caps off and makes it easy to get to the exhaust tip bolts
Looks great!! Matte black tailgate letter inserts would look amazing!
Doing this to mine without a doubt
If you remove the step shell about 5 quick bolts it's easy to get access to the bolts for the tips.
Your truck is badass
Man like everything you do but the final color on the trail boss exhaust ports needed to be gloss black better yet I would have powder coated them gloss black for $40-$50
They just wanted you to be able to easily see where to plug in your HDMI cables 😂

I will likely use the gloss on my Trail Boss tips to blend with the bumper. Not that the flat doesn't look good, but I like the gloss. Regarding electric vehicles, I guess I'll have to go back to get a Ram with Cummins and start making my own biodiesel...not sure how far you will get on a charge and then have to stop and wait for hours...well you get it.

Thanks for the tip on plasti dip the emblems I recently got a 2020 lt crew cab hot red i blacked out the emblem thanks for the tip

Satin black looks the best honestly. Just a slight gloss
Your comments on the GM announcement of EV only is the exact reason I just picked up a new 5.3 LT Z71 Silverado. I think that should be a consumer choice and by then they may change their minds in allowing for that but to go all Electric.... nope not me. Chip shortages are hard enough now how about then. Yeah supply will hopefully meet demand by then but still just want there to be that option for burning dinosaurs when the desire applies. EF makes perfect sense for alot of folks just not everyone in my humble simple minded opinion.
I bought the Custom Trail Boss, and I'm the second owner but only 6k miles, and the previous owner did a lot of red trim on all black truck. Supposedly, he got a lot of compliments. I spent the day removing red lettering and stickers ( I'm thinking carbon fiber lettering on tailgate?). Tomorrow, I'm removing the red Chevrolet lettering on the front grill and windshield, but I need a good suggestion on what is under the lettering on grill? What to replace it with? 🤔 The LT has the bow tie, and the custom has the Chevrolet lettering (currently red😬), so any good ideas will be well appreciated 👍
