If you like your Chevy I would highly recommend another Chevy with the Duramax and Allison transmission combo.
It is reliable, good mileage and plenty of power.
Your build looks great however, maybe it's just the angles of the pictures but it looks like the upper bar obscures the headlight beams.
The pics I have seen of the ARB for the Chevy has that upper bar up higher and the headlights look more visible.
Am I just seeing it at an odd angle ?
Do you have a pic of the side of the ARB bumper ?
I wanted to see how far it sticks out from the grille area.
I have been looking at the ARB for my truck (Chevy 2500HD) but it sure looks like it sticks out more than I would like.
It doesn't look like it is tucked in as close as the LCs, Tacomas...
My current truck is a 2500HD E/C S/B with the 6.0
In the past I have had fullsize chevy trucks and I have taken them through plenty of nasty trails. The only limitation was the width.
Granted, they were SFA trucks and my current is a IFS.
The IFS works fine as long as you aren't looking to do...
Working for Toyota for over twenty years now sometimes gives you inside info on things like this.
I have heard two possibilities, both from the same source, a friend high up at Toyota Corporate in Denver.
The first is Toyota partnering with Caterpillar to use one of their diesels.
The other is...
Are there any other parts or modifications that can be done to make the Chevy trucks more durable or reliable off road ??
Any specific areas to watch for problems ?
I called Cognito and they told me to measure my upper A arms to see if I had the new or old suspension. Thats how I found out what I had.
They said the steering braces would work and so would the level kit.
He told me I had a late model that had the 2001 style HD suspension.
My main concern is...
I'm in Tucson also and see them all the time but never had a chance to ask anyone who might know whats done to them.
As for my truck, yes it is an "odd" model. It's listed as a "HD" on my window sticker but it lacks some of the things they started on the HDs in 2001.
It has the 14 bolt SF rear...
I have owned Toyotas for many years and still do, but I bought a 2000 Chevy 2500HD 4x4 extra cab with the 6.0 a year and a half ago to tow a larger trailer we bought.
We have been looking to get back into camping and I would like to beef up my truck.
I have been lurking and reading a lot here...
