08 Silverado in Moab

[LS1matt]

Its been way too long since I have been able to log on to the portal.. work sux Anyhow I came across pics i had on my work PC from my Moab trip last year. Makes me want to get back out there. Full size is the way to go:exclaim: lol just thought i would share a few of my favs. enjoy .. Im still trying to learn editing so forgive the quality.

great pics! im totally for full size off roaders. its the only way to go! lol idk if i would put that brand new shiny Chevy through that tight squeeze though. but id gladly put an older not so shiny full size through there. i don't see it as body damage. more like body art.:sombrero:

Nice truck and it's good to see someone using it somewhere other than the mall.:sombrero:

How did it do in the hot tubs:sombrero: That's me in my old crawler Bronco coming out of Mickeys hot tub. I've driven all over the Moab area in our old 93' Explorer on 31" tires and more than once new Jeep owners have told me I shouldn't be out trail running in that thing

Can you tell where that spot in Moab ?

Thanks !

Cool! I also think it's fun to surprise people by taking my fullsize places that they don't think it should be able to go. Mine's not as new as yours, but everyone that I ride with still thinks it's too nice to be wheelin'. Nice to see someone who's not afraid to work their new truck, especially a Chevy!

Nice Chebby in SD.

There's the cleanest newer Chevy Duramax crewcab shortbed in my area. Cabhigh shell with a trick rack. Looks like just a key leveling kit and some 35's. Clean exhaust and that thing hauls ********.:sombrero:

For sure. 90% of GM trucks with IFS used for severe duty or aggressively off road give the rest a bad name. I have seen way too many GMT800 and 900’s break CV’s, tie rods, and even rip upper control arms right off the frame. Go easy on them.

I will say that the coil sprung GMT900 IFS on the new 2007 half-tons (like Matt’s truck) is the best IFS GM has built yet. The torsion bar IFS is the system that really under performs.

Nice truck Matt! It is nice to see a late model full-size out in the wild.

i can vouch for the weakness of the GMT800 platform front end.... Ive snapped countless amounts of front end parts on my daily driver. that's why I'm in search of a1975 k5 blazer:drool: to deck out for expo use:sombrero:
