We just got back from a trip to Southern Utah to do some exploring and visit family. My wife had never been to this area of Utah so we did some tourist stuff and visited a couple national parks as well as sand hollow and the family ranch. 1800 mile trip and the 9000lb truck averaged 20mpg ...
I’ve been doing a lot of day trips with the truck out exploring northern Nevada and the Sierras lately. I’m definitely wanting to get out on some extended trips out of state soon. I recently bought a new 3500 tow rig and will be starting to collect some parts this winter for the truck.
plans...
Eventually 37’s with some Hutchison bead locks will happen. For now the 35’s get me where I need to go and they only have 6000 miles on them.
I wanted to get my full size pare out the bed and have always liked the swingout tire carriers. I contacted Buck Stop and asked if they would build one...
I decided I wanted to get the bed more organized for all my recovery gear. I carry a ton of spare parts, u joints and even a spare front drive shaft. I had been eyeing a Decked system for a while and decided to pull the trigger on one.
I know most people on here have one so no review here. I’m...
The kit is from WFO Concepts. They have several lift height configurations for the GM platform. I highly recommend their kit. They Make a kit for the Obs platform also that’s really nice.
This is how the has been for the past year now. I’ve only put about 6000 miles on it so far. Around 1500 of those have dirt road miles out exploring northern and eastern Nevada.
At this point I’ve really been eyeing a newer dedicated tow rig. That means this thing can start to see some more...
I decided it was time to add a winch for recovery and I wanted some auxiliary lights as well. I went with a Buck Stop front bumper and mounted a Smitybilt 12k winch and Baja Design XL-R Sport lights in it. I also added a Dmax Store trans cooler and a $130 amazon knock off Switch pro for some...
I drove the truck, went on some mild off road adventures in the Sierras and towed the toys with it for a few months and then decided I wanted to to throw some parts on it and get it more setup. Not one complaint on the Sas kit at all. Drives straight down the highway at 80 with one finger on the...
The finished product.
I am definitely happy with their kit. I do not run a sway bar and don’t see the need to. The truck actually drives better than stock. Tires are 35’s and even towing it still does great.
I took a week off of work and had the truck done I’m my garage in 5 days taking my time. I also installed a red head steering box. The rear initially has a 2” deaver mini pack with air bags and daystar cradles . It was way to soft and I ended up putting my over load back in with a 2” aal and 1”...
I started with a 2005 f250 Dana 60 and rebuilt it hub to hub. I used a WFO Concepts 3” radius arm kit with 8” travel Kings in the front. The reason I decided to go this route was the kit uses mostly ford over the counter parts. If I have a failure in the middle of nowhere Nevada while hunting I...
I figured it was time to share my build. I’ve owned my 2002 Chevy since 2014. I bought it off an old man Bone stock with 97k on her. My plan was to have it as a dedicated tow rig for my other toys. It’s never really been my daily since I am lucky enough to have a company vehicle.
