What about a Chevrolet or GMC 1999 - 2006 1/2-ton extended cab or 4-door trucks? The 5.3L engine is excellent, the ride is very quiet and comfortable, the 4WD system is decent, towing is great, reliability is good, factory and aftermarket parts are readily available, and the mileage is...

We mounted two Rotopax 2.5 gallon water containers on the front passenger side of the trailer. The location seems to work for now. Here's a picture:

What type of racks do you have? For the rack over the cab, how did you attach the mounts, and what mounts did you use? Did you have to drill through the top of the cab or do they fit in the rain gutter part of the roof?

That looks neat. Do you have the link? We were thinking about using some type of marine grill; the kind you see hanging off the back rails of a lot of sail boats.

What's the total weight, without winch, for a complete Trans4mer bumper system?

Our main use for the winch will be for recovery from a "stuck" situation; for us here it is usually some type of mud or slightly inclined hills with slick or wet rocks. The next use is simply to be able to move things. We sometimes come across fallen trees on roads, and a winch comes in handy...

So what size winch would work best for a full-size truck with outfitted with aftermarket bumpers, lights, and the typical "expo" gear? A 10,000, 12,000 or 15,000 lb. winch? It seems like a 12,000 lb. winch would be optimal.

The numbers I read were the GVWR which include "vehicle's chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers and cargo but excluding that of any trailers." The numbers seemed a little high to me too.

What winch do you have on your full-size truck? Please post pics and model numbers. Thanks! :) I read that the average 1/2-ton truck weighs 9,200 pound, the average 3/4-ton weighs 10,000 pounds, and the average 1-ton weighs 11,400. Did you mount a 10,000, 12,000, or 15,000 pound capacity...

Thanks again for the recommendations. Taking the overhead shelves or trays out and having to rewire everything is a bee-ahtch, but we want to do it right, so we endure. Regarding the wiring, do you all run separate power and ground leads (wires) to your different components or do you or should...

'Great elk hunting there; we've been lucky enough to draw two out-of-state tags for that unit over a 13-year period.

I was told that 4, 6, and 7-pin trailer wire connectors will work well. After looking at a few, I think that they will work fine except for a fat 10-gauge wire that's powering a radio amplifier. I simply need to be able to remove the front and rear overhead "shelf" if needed. Since I plan on...

Treybiz: Do you have a picture of the ARB bumper on your truck? Is it the ARB model for the Chevrolet/GMC or is it a modified Land Cruiser Series 100 bumper? Thanks :)

What size and type of lift and tires do you have on your truck? We're thinking of a 2.5" lift like this one: http://www.readylift.com/c-35-chevy-silverado-1500-1999-2007-classic-4wd-6-lug-25.aspx. It's 2.5" for the front and a replacement block for the rear leaf springs which is roughly a 3"...

'Not to hijack the thread, but we've had great success for years with the Zodi Hot Tap HP http://www.zodi.com/Consumer/zodihottaphpshower.html. There's one for sale on Craigslist now for $150 http://chattanooga.craigslist.org/spo/3297317408.html. We have an older model that uses a gel-filled...

We just upgraded to the new iPhones. We have a 4S and a 5. What are the better mapping tools and navigation aids are out there? We haven't bought a GPS yet, nor do we have an iPad that we can mount in the vehicle. Safari or the Apple built-in Maps application works when there is a signal...

Here is a picture of the interior. We're thinking that perhaps we could use the area under the radio (where there is now a cassette player) and somehow utilize the overhead space where the map lights and CD/sunglasses storage compartments are located. The console and cup holders are very...

We're are just starting to get into Ham radio. We drive a 2001 Chevy Silverado with the extra cab. We're looking for the best way(s) to mount a Ham radio, CB, GPS, and an antenna. Particularly, we're interested in perhaps using the overhead "console" where the map lights are located, and the...
