    Chevy Avalanche overland possibilities

    I got nothing specifically on the avalanche vs suburban conversation besides if you do get one, try to find a 2500 version. I think overlanding with what you got is always preferable than buying something new. Obviously there's some nuance with that statement, but what you got is probably just...

    Plans changed a bit but I'm not complaining.

    Based on what he said I am eager to drive a 2 Door Bronco with the same engine (to the best of my knowledge).

    My dad just got an F150. He had done all his research and was dead set on a 5.0. He test drove the 5.0 and the 2.7 and ended up buying the 2.7. He said its that good. He said its better than his 2010 Raptor, which in fairness had the 5.4.

    Lid gasket and replacement hardware arrived so I got the ski back together and washed it down. Ended up getting under it to inspect the intake and a few other things. No issues, a bit more scratched that I would have thought but no nicks or gouges so I am pretty happy with that. Had a bit of...

    Since next week is going to be camping via jetski I decided to knock out a few things during lunch. Most of it was minor maintenance stuff, but one was a corrective maintenance. The "glove box" lid broke during a recent ride and would flap around, which is obviously no good for when you're...

    I guess I can post these now that they're being fabbed up as we speak. I collaborated with Grove Fabworks to build bed frame supports that incorporate brackets for the Leitner rack. I also bought replacement bed bolts for all 6 bed bolts, with stainless steel tie downs for all of them...

    Huge Red Wings fan. Always have been; of course there are other teams I've liked for whatever reason, especially over the past couple years while the Wings were trash. I'm happy with the team so far. At the beginning of the season I was thinking they would be fighting Buffalo and Ottawa for the...

    Right now the setup works just fine and I'm planning on just using what I got throughout the "winter" camping season. Once it starts getting too hot for it again I'll go back to boating season and do the swap. Yep, driving it in forward is what I'll do for the remainder of this season. Only...

    @Kingsize24 the thing I'm learning now that I'm using more RV sites for camping is the awning on the drivers side is the wrong side for these back into spots. It was perfect for when I was at Fiesta Island and sitting on the beach, and works just fine for primitive camping and going out to the...

    Thank you. I really appreciate it. I'm still working out the quirks but it's getting there.

    I'm not living in SoCal anymore and the infrastructure just isn't here yet. Plus parking garages aren't nearly as ubiquitous here. If a car has to go, it's that one. I do like it though. Good car, EVs are going to be so damn common when people get over the range anxiety when their commute is 30...

    Honestly, it has grown on me. Guy who lives near me has one and its... something to get used to. But ultimately I kind of like it.
