    Photos of mid-sized vehicles - Post Here

    I pulled a F150 and double axle trailer out of the ditch yesterday with my Colorado. He was going waaaay too fast on a corner and went into the ditch sideways, pointing the opposite direction. The top of the truck was about even with the road, so he was deep in it. We shoveled a bit, attached...

    Strider Colorado ZR2 Duramax Explorer Build and Trips

    I don't mind at all! I have 54,000 miles (30k are my miles) on my ZR2 with zero problems. I have mostly owned Japanese-made vehicles (some of my old builds are linked below) and am very happy with the Colorado so far. But to be honest, if Toyota had a diesel 3rd Gen 4Runner (or a diesel...

    I simply wired the controller directly to the battery per Warn winch installation instructions. https://www.warn.com/Attachment/DownloadFile?downloadId=960 I do not have an isolator or fuse. I have used the winch to pull down three trees and rescue one jeep so far with no issues. I have...

    Strider Colorado ZR2 Duramax Explorer Build and Trips

    And now it is winter. I am storing the GFC (to avoid salt exposure) and put on a tonneau for winter driving. Now I can park under the suspended GFC. The color-matched Leer Topper is for sale!

    The uncool phase is hard but usually temporary. My daughters seem to actually want to do stuff with me again. :D

    Thanks. No rust yet. Just dirt. Previous owner paid for a THICK undercoating - so much so I cannot see the pretty ZR2 shocks. :)

    The Maze ROF trip 9/19

    Thanks for the trip report! I love the Maze, been all the way to the dollhouse three times, and need to get back there soon! I took my kids down to the Harvest Scene from Chimney Rock when they were 6 and 8 years old. Their response when we got to the bottom was "we hiked all this way for...

    Cub Kamparoo - Offroad Mods for 12-yr-old Trailer

    Here is an interior Roo pic as requested. I'm feeling extra sentimental about this camper today because my GFC install is scheduled for this afternoon. Plus that little girl is now a Junior in College. :)

    Comparison shopping: Colorado, Gladiator, Tacoma

    45,000 miles (20,000 miles are mine since October last year) on my diesel ZR2 with no problems, no rattles, and I like it more every day. The miles include some 4wheeling and a harsh MN winter. But I went from a 2001 Xterra to the ZR2 so anything newer would probably seem amazing. ;) I am...

    We camped on the north side Laramie Lake, northeast of Lost Lake off of the Green Ridge Trail (I think that is what it is called). Moose was nearby off 14. :)
