    Softopper Yes or no?

    I was actually looking at Can-Back and have heard excellent things about them! Unfortunatley when I looked at their site I noticed they hadnt been in operation for awhile. Good to hear they might be coming back soon. I might have to look into there soft top as well. Do you think it would really...

    Softopper Yes or no?

    Awesome! Thanks for the quick replies. I am going to look into it and see if the one available for my truck is specifically made for mine but may fit other models.

    Softopper Yes or no?

    Hey, So I am building a sleeping platform in the back of my 02' Silverado and need a canopy for it. Ive been looking at the softopper ones as they seem to be the best quality ones I have found for soft top canopies. Reason for wanting a soft topper is that I do not have any room for storage of...

    IFS really that bad?

    I personally dont think IFS is that bad. It all depends on what you are looking for, everyone has a different opinion based off of what they are used to doing when they go wheeling, or good/bad experiences etc etc.. There are definatly pro and cons to each of them, and it all depends on what you...

    02' Silverado Lifted

    Unfortunatly mpg isnt the greatest, but I made that compromise when I bought the truck as I could afford to pay cash for it at the time and did not need to make payments. So it kinda evens itself out, lol.. I get anywhere from 8-11mpg depending on driving style, city or hwy etc...

    Suburban Owners.. MPG?

    Thanks for all the replies!! Its kind of what I expected for the most part, as in "not good" but its the price to pay if you want all that space with a little power behind it. I figure its a pretty stout base for the things that I wanna do with it. I like the idea of building an elevated...
