Correct. Theyre Suburbans underneath. Can't beat the GMT800s for cheap reliability, practicality and ease of maintenance.

FIFY I remember back when I doing the axle swap on my XJ, how guys out west were going nuts over how cheap we could get the Ford HP60 front ends. I'd rather pay a premium and not deal with all the rust.

The 1500 is great if you want to KISS, at that point I'd recommend a high top camper shell over a RTT or flatbed. If you want a flatbed+camper, go straight to a 2500 or 3500.

I want to pick up a LR3 in a couple months. I had a D1 for 3 years and it was one of my 'dream trucks' as a kid, and I loved and miss it. But for comfort and such, the newer trucks are way way better. If you want to build a wheeler, you definately want an older solid axle truck.

I think you can get creative with trimming the avalanche bumper pretty heavily, or doing something prerunner-y

The bigger front brakes came on the trucks only. My Silverado has them, unfortunately it also means you got rear drums.

You guys are at altitude and deal with mountain passes regularly. My commute is 75% stop and go and I average 14-15 in my truck with a little lift and larger tires. On long highway trips I'll hit 19. My neighbor has 275k on a 05 Z71 Tahoe he bought new and he gets 22 on road trips loaded keeping...

What kind of roads/trails are you looking to tackle? Towing? Hauling a huge amount? Yea, a 2500 is cool, but 12 mpg isn't. A 1500 with with a little budget boost and 33s will kiss 20 MPG highway; and 1500s have a pretty high payload relative to everything else people load out on these forums...

Right on. I think I'm one of the only people in the world who doesn't like these seats.

I put an aftermarket adjustable power lumbar in my truck and it helped a little.

You're not allowed to post non-Toyota things in that forum. The sheeple don't take kindly to that. All but confirmed for 2021.

The cladded avalanche front end is specific to only the avalanche (the non cladded models were the same as the cateye silverados) but everything should still swap over and will be pretty unique nonetheless.

KO2s here on my 05 1500 Silverado, have almost 60k on them and they have 30-40% left. Very happy with them.

Did someone open a window? What is happening on the Toyota forum? Is that a breath of fresh air I am breathing?

Its posts like this that make me second guess wanting to move into a LR3 or LC100. These trucks just WORK plain and simple.

Wanted to share this one, that's the wiring harness that sits above the transfer case. Last winter I was getting 'service 4wd' messages. Read the code, changed the transfer case solenoid thing. No more codes. Came back a couple weeks ago, intermittently. Checked the switch with an ohm meter...

D1 was my first Rover, even though I wanted a 2. I was back and forth a bit but I'm happy I went with the D1 instead, but sad I got rid of it. Bad timing when the head gasket let go.

I daily an extended cab 800 and will be upgrading to something else when kids come along. Not enough room back there for a car seat and the dog. It's wide, but it's tight back there. I'm 6' and my wife is 5' 9"; so YMMV w shorter people in the cab. For just two people and a dog, it's a fantastic...
