Yes, 2.8 Duramax is available from the factory in the Chevy Express.

Well, for starters, just because you see a built rig in an organized campground beside a stock car, that does not mean the rig is not used for more advanced trails as well. Some people modify their vehicle to suit their wants, not just their needs. Some people like the look, and enjoy using...

Northern Ontario is lovely.

Thanks for sharing a small taste of your adventure. I just checked the map. It's unlikely I'll be taking the 6,827km (one way) drive to Tuktoyaktuk anytime soon. But, just the other day, my wife and I were sorta-kinda-maybe talking about packing two large backpacks, hopping on a plane, and...

I went wheeling with a Dakota a few weeks ago. Untitled by Ryan Jakob, on Flickr Untitled by Ryan Jakob, on Flickr The Dakota driver was impressed by how well my Canyon did with "basically street tires" - Geolandar A/T G015. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0"...

Oh I like it. I like it a lot. Well done. I'm a sucker for nice small / midsize domestic pickup builds. The Level II is a great starting point, and you made it totally ready for adventure.

While the arguement is not needed, it still comes up constantly. :( For example, the threads about the Colorado ZR2 seem to end up discussing the Tacoma more than the ZR2....

What I worry about is longevity of the infotainment components. My GM truck is only 10 years old, but half the buttons on the stereo have had the backlighting fail. Now, that's fine, I can still select preset # by memory / feel. The buttons still works, they're just not illuminated in the...

Oh dear. That’s very unfortunate to hear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good point Rando. I camp no more than 20-25 trips a year typically, and most trips only bring my battery down to 40-50% DOD, but even if I did get into the the 500 cycle range, at 25 cycles per year, that is still 20 years. I think practical experience has showed most of us that you should not...

Wow, what a beautiful, clean truck. It reminds me of the trucks I used to dream about when I was a kid. Good luck with the sale.

My grandparents always slept perpendicular in their '86 Econoline conversion.

Nice pictures. It looks like you gave the truck a workout. If I know you, this trip probably helped confirm or revise a list of future mods.

I don’t always spend a lot of time on this forum. When I stop by, I don’t always check this thread. But, when I do check in on your adventures, I always enjoy the updates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's one of my wife, and her "lap dog." IMG_0293 by Ryan Jakob, on Flickr

I mostly just see cut-offs on teenage girls at Luke Bryan concerts.

Regular cab short beds always catch my attention when they drive by. I think they have a really nice, balanced look. It took me a few minutes to get used to the dismantled front end. I can certainly see why you've done it. You've dramatically improved the approach angle, without a huge...

At least take the ZR2 for a test drive before passing it over.
