    Falken Wildpeak AT/3W - anyone running them? Opinions?

    I’ve had a set of Falken AT3Ws (255/80R17) on for about a month, been off road several times and my opinion thus far is they are relatively quiet and have good road manners but they leave me wanting off road. I’ve been in mud, snow, sand/dirt, and loose pack and they do well enough in the dry...

    2024 Silverado (Avalanche) EV

    Leave it to GM to be the first to go deceptive in their marketing looking for a competitive advantage. Ford was conservative when they released initial PR for their EV truck, announcing figures likely to be seen from expected use. Sure, their battery is capable of 450 miles or whatever it is...

    Anyone using an GMC AT4 or any other GM pickup for overlanding?

    Or how about SATIN STEEL! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone using an GMC AT4 or any other GM pickup for overlanding?

    That’s true of mid-size, GM doesn’t seem to want to compete in that category. For your money, the ZR2 with front and rear lockers and a healthy aftermarket arena is a great platform. Lots can be done with a Colorado or Canyon, or you can start higher grade with a Colorado ZR2 Bison, designed...

    Anyone using an GMC AT4 or any other GM pickup for overlanding?

    Thanks, it has served us well. Food for tonight: some people put high bed racks on, which has advantages in terms of usable bed space and access, but after having run an RTT high up on a vehicle prior to this setup, I’ll never do it again. It turns the thing into both a brick and a kite, messes...

    Anyone using an GMC AT4 or any other GM pickup for overlanding?

    I’ve set up my Colorado ZR2 Bison with a Retrax Pro XR tonneau and a Frontrunner bedrack to which I mount an RTT at times. Theft and bear proof. Even ran indoor plumbing for my wife (see downspout in photo #1). We lived out of this for about 6 weeks this summer while moving cross-country...

    Winch troubleshooting

    Thanks for the guidance. With all the brainstorming here and multiple convos with Rod at ComeUp I think we narrowed it down to the contactor. A new one arrived yesterday in the mail and I’m having a local shop do some diagnostic work to see if that’ll be the fix. Sent from my iPhone using...

    2024 Silverado (Avalanche) EV

    How does Chevy constantly make uglier trucks than everyone else? Range on a 20000# tow is going to be like 75 miles. Is anyone who tows big really going to switch to an EV before charging is rapid and the grid is greatly expanded? That is a fun number to hype the truck with, I’m sure it’ll...

    Winch troubleshooting

    Appreciate it. Yep, picking up what I can anywhere I can, didn’t grow up with this stuff but like to learn. Thanks for lending some expertise. Will get a better view in daylight, but to eliminate a couple items: they did run a main ground back to the battery, it’s not on the frame. The...

    Winch troubleshooting

    I didn’t install, it came with the vehicle. The way the previous poster answered it sounded as though the winch had its own power supply. I understand it runs off the truck’s battery, so was news to me if that was the case. Not having any other battery issues, vehicle is a 2021 and everything...

    Gotcha, makes sense. Is it like a car battery then, run the engine for a bit, leave it on, let it recharge? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Winch troubleshooting

    If it was a dead battery, wouldn’t I not get that clicking sound when I press in/out? I’m a novice, this is my first winch, any thoughts how I’d begin troubleshooting any of those possibilities? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Winch troubleshooting

    Hey all - hoping for some help troubleshooting. I’ve got a ComeUp seal slim 9.5rs. Used once since it was installed in May. Use was about a week ago in the Cascades of southern Oregon, pulled a guy out of a snowy ditch. Line is synthetic. Did just fine out in the elements, wound back in...

    Thoughts on the Truckhouse Tacoma expedition camper...

    I wonder if they considered a Ford and I wonder if they thought that they’d get considerably less interest in their product if they went that route vs Tacoma? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thoughts on the Truckhouse Tacoma expedition camper...

    Toyota is just the truck they chose as a platform. It’s a yacht on wheels for “overlanding”, which is an increasingly spendy/trendy hobby for people who want to go camping and also want to spend a lot of time researching how long they can avoid gas stations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Warn, Ramsey, Sherpa... whats the most dependable least Chinese winch

    Congrats on your decision and purchase. Always nice to finally settle and make a move! I also have a Comeup and I’ve been pleased. As far as license plates go, I put one of these on and give it [emoji106][emoji106]. Solid build, not flimsy at all. No signs of annoying vibrations while in motion...
