Super cool! I’ve always thought some type of camper...canopy, slide-in, etc...on a service body is the way to go. You’ve upped the ante with the pop top. ?

A Yukon/Tahoe would be a solid choice but we appreciate the extra room in our Suburban.

Posting for my FIL: A B&W 5th Wheel Companion Hitch that fits 2017 and newer Ford p/u with the Tow Prep Package...frame mounted thru the bed pucks for those that are familiar with this setup. It’s rated at 20k lbs, comes in two pieces, and is quite beefy...don’t ask me how I know. ? It was used...

Definitely NOT an infomercial. He has been ripped by several companies due to his somewhat blunt reviews/comments about products. I don’t always agree with him but as they say, “my mileage may vary”.

That is indeed the location for the 2nd battery in your rig, it matches the one in my ‘02 Silvy 2500HD. The issue will be size, you don’t have much clearance there, especially height wise. OEM is a Group 78, smaller with side posts. I installed a Group 78 Marine battery in the primary tray...

If you have a portable battery box with a cooling fan you might want to add that in also. Just sayin’...

What? Did you read my mind? (It’s a shallow, short read anyway ?). I’ve camped under shells for years due to the fact that I need to use my truck as a truck and no room to store a slide-in camper. The Dodge had a cab-hi Snugtop; outstanding shell but not tall enough. The Chevy has a Leer 122...

My cousin just bought a Silvy 1500 with the 3.0 and reports 29 mpg all day long. He says it pulls really well, I‘m anxious to give it a test drive. It may be a winner in the Tahoe/Suburban platform. We love our 2010 Suburban with the 5.3. Pretty good mpg for a vehicle that size and the engine...

Tractor Supply, Lowe’s, HD. I bought something similar to your example and if I remember correctly, it was right around $200.

Avoid treads that are open side to side like the Michelins LTX AT. These don't have much lateral grip and will slide sideways on sloped roads. Second that. My Dodge came with those OEM...horrible in snow, unless you like sliding all over the place. Pretty sure the high durometer had something...

I like Ronny. He's not afraid to admit when he's wrong, but i don't always agree with him. But hey. different strokes for different folks on different continents. I think this video is aimed primarily at newbies looking to get out there and how to avoid the hype of overlanding.

You may be overreacting about the wood issue. 3/16 or even 1/8 luan is light, even with a textile like marine carpet glued on the interior side. Perhaps a deck paint on the frame side for ease of mind? I’ve considered using the luan with thin indoor/outdoor ribbed carpet so that any inside...

I’m voting for something in the brakes. My bearings also didn’t sound like that. But you never know until you crawl under and check it out.

They “tried” getting mine off my ‘05 Element. The sound of the sawzall woke my stepson up (LAPD) and fortunately for the three dirtbags involved, he brought his flashlight with him and not his ‘45. They sawed about 3/4ths of the way through before being interrupted, but the damage was done. I...

Goes to show how we can have different experiences with tires. My AT2s have 36k miles on them and about 6/32nds of tread remaining...if only I didn’t have to shout above the howling. ? I’ll probably start looking at around 40k, I’m not necessarily brand loyal with tires. Two of the best tires...

No such luck here...maybe 3 or 4 32nds at 25k miles when I reshod the truck. I really liked the tires for their performance but I can’t afford new shoes every 20 months. ?

This may be good news! I’ve been looking for quite awhile.

I liked the KO2s on my 1/2-ton except for the lousy treadlife...replaced at 25k miles. My current 3/4-ton is shod with Toyo AT2s. Great tire except they’re really beginning to howl starting around 45 mph. I’ll be in the market for new tires by summer.

My Toyos are howling on the highway but they're a great tire and will get you just about anywhere you want to go.
