For me, this truck will be a long-term hold. I'm coming out of a string of Tahoes and GM performance vehicles. I think the LS and LT platforms are the best on the market for reliability, performance and cost. I looked at the AT4, but I can't get over the styling. I think the K2XX trucks...

Hah! I walked in and the dude gave me a funny look when I said I'm looking for the 7.3 gas Tremor. "What do you mean, you don't want the diesel? Everyone needs the diesel!" His exact words. Maybe the gasser can be had for a decent deal if it's getting looked over! Saw the Magnetic one you...

That's funny, I just went to look at the same truck you're referring to. Silver Lariat with chrome bumpers? It has 260+ miles on it now so apparently lots of people have been testing it out haha, I didn't test drive it, as I drove a 7.3 truck in Boise last week and felt I have enough to go on...

I have not done much. Currently driving a lowered 2WD Tahoe, but in the market for a clean RCLB F-250. I have heard that the trans-Wisconsin trail is pretty cool, and would like to do it once I find the right truck. Liking the updates to your Raptor.

Greetings from another Wisconsinite! Looking forward to the build.

*Edited for length... On the '17, you can still get a manual transfer case shift lever in XL and some XLT trims... I think this went away on the 2018 and 2019 trucks (could be wrong, but haven't seen it to this day). I've looked at a number of the 2011-2016 trucks with the 6.2L and every time...

Wow, that paint cleaned up nicely! Huge difference between the first and second photo. Do tell, where did you find this gem?? I have been scouring western craigslist pages for something similar (you can see through most of the trucks here in the Midwest...) Good luck with the build, I'll...

Makes sense! I'm in the Midwest, so trails around here are a bit tighter. Will be keeping an eye on your thread!

Nice data point. I'm impressed by the service intervals as well. I know guys who change fuel filters every oil change... always seemed a bit excessive...

Crew cab AND long bed?? Nice! I've always been curious how the longest wheelbase works - any issues with turning radius or center ground clearance? I have been on the prowl for an extended cab long bed for a few months.

That's great feedback. I have been a big fan of Mazzulla since I owned a '99 Silverado and wanted the full long travel treatment. I think the Baja Kits setup will serve your use perfectly. Is the track width up front now wider than the rear?

Awesome update. I like where this is headed. Is the track width up front now wider than it was originally? How is the on-road performance? Edit: Any reason you went with Baja Kits over Mazzulla? I saw on overland bound that you were considering Mazzulla first?

Looking forward to future posts! Cool truck with nice additions so far.

Nice looking truck! The K2XX body style is really growing on me, and I like the 2014/15 front ends better than 2016+. Excited to see what you do with this for towing/camping duty.

Do you have a link to said Tahoe build?? I love reading through well thought-out GM builds. Still hunting for my own 2500 'Burb - may also consider the right 1500HD, as it's a similar concept.

Interesting how those bar-mounted lights "appeared" overnight... Seriously, though, are they set up to be portable? Is there some sort of quick disconnect for the wiring? Keep the updates coming! This along with the Drive posts are some of my favorite reading material currently. Best, Max

I've enjoyed reading your eight-part series thus far. Excited for what else is to come! As an aside, I'm insatiably jealous about your recent seat time in the Penske Camaro. I daydream about the sensations that small block is capable of evoking.

Good looking truck. I was inspired by your GMT-900 Tahoe since there aren't many used in this manner. What prompted the change to the Sierra?

YES! I was a huge fan of your writing for R&T - especially the article about purchasing this monster! I'm excited to see you post a build thread here, hopefully followed by some chronicles of your adventures. Are you writing anything about your trip for R&T as well? I saw Alex Roy post about the...

Truck looks great. Its great to see another full-size GM on the forums (there really are quite a few, and many guys with good advice from experience). I've always loved the '01-'02 HD front end. If you could combine it with the '03+ interior, it'd be the perfect truck! Ever thought about taking...
