Well there is a good chance i may be picking up a higher mileage 2000 z71 ext cab short bed truck. I currently have a 1995 chevy tahoe - see sig.
I am just mainly wondering everyones thoughts, common issues, etc. It will be mainly for light to moderate trail use ( the blue trails according to the Funtrek books).
I know IFS is an issue. I have only taken my tahoe offroad once and engaged 4wd and i blew out the retaining rings on the cv joint.
I plan to put lift leafs, blocks or shackles or some combo of those in the rear and torsion key the front. Other than that, i will just use the thing to camp in.
Maybe down the road get a roof top tent setup sto place above the bed in an elevated position so I can utilize the bed.
If and when I get it, and make substaintial expedition related upgrades, I will update this thread.
Thanks for the help, ideas and recomendations.
