    Not really overlanding or off road related but I added a new cheapie Bluetooth radio last night.

    Thanks! I've also had my eye on the Move Bumper kits. At this point I'm still undecided.

    I may eventually go with the flipped hitch and actually remove the bottom part of the bumper. I've been contemplating it. As far as the winch right now it's a smaller winch that I'm going to keep mounted to the hitch plate so I can swap it between my Blazer and the Avalanche. I hope to...

    Some other little work this weekend. Installed a new frame strengthening hitch, relocated the tow electric connection from the hitch to the bumper on the left of the plate and acquired a hitch mount winch that I test fit and am working on installing.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CMHVJO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The gate swap will turn into a two person job or a very awkward one person job. You have to remove one side, pull the bar out of the bottom of the gate and then pull the other side out. You could probably...

    Please keep me updated on your progress. Sorry for the late replies, for some reason I don't get notifications when people respond. Minor update as I haven't had much time to work on the truck. I installed a torsion bar on the tailgate. You can close and open it now with two fingers instead...

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    Looking for Forum Members to Test a DECKED Storage System

    Any chance you are thinking about making a system that would fit the Chevy Avalanche or have something that might fit? 2002-2013 all had the same bed size as far as I know. Approximately 5'3" long by 4'2" wide.

    Not really anything to do with the build, but a shot from 2 weeks ago when we got almost 3 feet of snow in less than 24 hours.

    Installed a steering stabilizer over the holiday's. Bracket was already there from the factory. I wasn't sure, but it does feel like it makes a difference, like the tires aren't being pushed in the direction of every bump in the road.

    Thanks! Anyone have experience with these UCA's? I'm looking at replacing mine to help with the preloaded front suspension due to the leveling kit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UNPFO4O?colid=3153W09WZDOJ9&coliid=I2481MNBSPSH75&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl

    Thanks. The cargo net I also had laying around from another vehicle and after seeing another thread was going to try to attach it to the ceiling. But there is no good anchor point on the drivers side front. After playing around with layout for a bit I decided on the current location. I would...

    Well after 3 weeks of working with Diablo I am pleased to say they finally got the shifting and custom tune issue worked out. If anyone else with an Avalanche 2500 buys one. You have to do the latest firmware update to the intune2 and talk to them about getting a tune with the shift firmness...

    Just picked up a DiabloSports intune2. I was able to adjust for tire size but there appears to be an issue with the 87 octane tune, every time I shifted it felt like the truck was going to shake apart. I have a ticket into there support to find out what the deal is.
