I can relate to the back and forth trying to figure out what shell to go with. I really thought I would be getting a DCU also but when I saw the Radica Moonlander late last year it ticked a few more boxes for what I wanted to do with it. Probably keep an eye out to see how you fit it out, always...

Preaching to the choir there bro. When I decided to hang on to the Duramax I read up on any build threads of GMT800 platforms i could find, including yours 'Yetti . Seams like most have graduated on to a new platform now but I appreciate the wealth of information made avalibe to me. I may be...

Made a little bit of progress getting ready for a trip. We trailered the SxS down to Tennessee to for a couple of days riding. I know, SxS and ATVs are the devil but the SxS cost less than the tires, wheels, bumper and winch on the truck and it will go places the truck never will for the kind of...

@Jacobm some follow up notes on the ARB bull bar. Overall I really like the ARB bull bar but there are a few points to consider (this is the stuff I could not find on-line). There are some significant gaps between the bumper and the body work. I suspect this is to accommodate the Chevy and the...

@Jacobm I never ment to get a full on ARB bull bar. I wanted a bumper with a hoop in front of the radiator. I've hit a deer before in my commute to work Civic, they materialize out of nowhere. So I figured I wanted just enough to have a radiator in case it happened again but I didn't want to go...

So, the little green ladder already travels with me. When I was younger I could stand on the tire, reach over and work on the engine. Now that I'm old I'm using the ladder to access the engine as well as get in the bed. I like hauling one ladder that I can move around as needed. (Maybe I should...

I'm transitioning away from camping in an enclosed trailer hauling a SxS. In the trailer I have a platform with slats and a 4" thick cotton stuffed futon to sleep on. In doing some research about futons I found recommendations for using: - 4" for occasional use on a solid base - 6" for use on a...

So on the trip home from Colorado we where following a snow storm through Indiana and Ohio. In true mid-west form the roads where covered in salt so I needed to wash the truck and shell as soon as the weather improved. It gave me a chance to take a few more pictures. Inside shows the exposed...

I keep debating if I should do this chronologically and jump back 20 years to my trucks first oil change or If I should start with picking up the MoonLander this week and just back fill in some of the larger mods on the truck. Road trip to pick up the MoonLander Bottom line is I'm pretty stoked...

Why am I building an older truck So this will be wordy and delve in to my experience with where the auto market has been in recent years and the future trends I think are coming. Feel free to skip this post if your looking for pretty pictures. Starting back around 2019 I was trying to convince...

In a nut shell When I start to read a build thread I always wonder if this is one that will hold my attention or not. I'm not saying some are bad, just some are not for me. (If it gets you out of the house and away from work it's all good) But it's just a little frustrating when I read 5 pages...

Staring to get serious about building up my truck. 2004 Silverado (Duramax and all that stuff). I've had it since new, mainly used to pull large trailers with ATVs or more recently a SxS. But there are places I want to go where the toys are not welcome and a trailer is not a good idea. So, just...
