Nice Fab work Stryder! As for the Frontrunner rack, they are nice and sexy, but the cost of having something that nice just so you can hide it all under a RTT seems wasteful to me. It's still probably cheaper to fabricate your own for this. When i have sufficient funds for a RTT it'll be what i do.

My truck is a 2014, i don't believe it comes with torsion keys, that stopped on the 2008's and newer models. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello everyone. Just looking around for inspiration and ideas of how to organize my gear, and secure it on the bed of my truck. Since I'll usually just pack for two people for two or three days i don't see having to pack a whole lot, but I do have to take into account that by truck bed is open...

Same boat as you are in right now. The only good option i found was to find someone in town to fabricate a simple rack that would mount on top of the truck bed using the stale holes. I could not find anything that was made for a Chevy capable of holding the weight of a rtt and the people on it...

Hello everyone, coming back to this thread again. Does anyone know if adding a two inch level kit, like the rough country will be enough to allow for a 33" tire??? I'm looking at this mainly due to budget constraints. Ideally i would go with a new suspension setup; i was thinking King shocks all...

The thing about a SHTF scenario that most overlanders overlook, at least from what i've read, is that their purpose built, go anywhere vehicles will be useless within say 400miles, give or take, based on the fact that no one is left to supply the gas stations. Lets face it, if everything comes...

Hello everyone, total noob when it comes to camping and overlanding, and trying to learn as much as possible. So far I have the vehicle that i want to use for overlanding, a 2014 Silverado 4x4 and most of the essential gear for a weekend of camping/exploring. My question for now is, how do u...

Seems like a useful thing to have, alas, i have a pickup truck with no camper shell. It'd be kinda hard to setup for me [emoji58] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice setup, what did you use for the 2" leveling kit. Did you go with Rough Country?

Gotcha, so you didn't use a suspension lift, just went with the King OEM's ??? How do the suspension angles look? I was all set to go with a RC 2.5" level kit but got discouraged when I saw how much the angle changed, not sure if that's good for the components.

It does seem crazy, and even more so when in reality all you gain in going from a 31" tire to a 33" tire is about an inch extra clearance. In my case not even that, more like 3/4" under the diferentials. Almost seems silly to think that I could ever be in a situation where i would need that...

^^^ lol what planejaneFJC said... Quick question, what do you guys mean when you say you are running +1 tires???

Thanks for all the replies. This whole thing started for me because I've been looking at getting some bigger tires for my truck, going from a 265/65R18 to a 275/70R18. The thinking being that I might need the bigger tires; but this just became crazy. The amount of money I would have to put into...

Hello Everyone thanks for stopping by. I am still pretty new to the world of over landing and going off the paved roadways and I was wondering how many people out there are still going out and exploring in your stock vehicles??? I know this site's focus is on customizing our vehicles for...

Awesome thread wrmmt!!! Can you give me some more details on your suspension set up? You said you are running King shocks, I assume they are different than the stock ones to allow the fitting of bigger tires... Thanks!

Hey still loving your build thread, it looks like its coming along just right!!! I have a question concerning your RC leveling kit. I am considering this route just so I can fit a larger tire on my truck. I was all set to go with it until I started looking around the chevy forums and coming to...

Sooo, something like a Nitto Terra Grappler II ???

Thanks for all the replies guys, more than likely will stick with the stock size, now to look for good tires !!!

Hey SloPoke, So to clarify, when I say 3/4" clearance I am referring to clearance under the differentials. And I come up with that number by calculating the actual tire dimensions. So on my stock setup I have 265/65R18, 265mm for the cross section with an aspect ratio of 65%, which gives you a...

Hey everyone, Now that i finally have most of my camping gear and other essentials I am wondering how you guys keep it all packed and secured while traveling. I have a 2014 Silverado with no cap so I am thinking of just placig all my gear in storage bins and lash them down on the bed??? Any...
