I'm not aware of any sheet goods that give you a clear 6'x6' so you are looking at an edge to edge joint with one thickness of material. Best option is a scarf joint. You could go with a biscuit joint, But easiest will be a lamination and an overlap of two materials. So what that means if you...

I'd very much like to know more on this... My warranty recently ran out, and I installed an inline AG Diesel Solutions 'tune' that is supposed to be non-intrusive of the OEM programing, but my truck coded on it. Turned it off and the check engine light went out, presumably all is now ok. A...

Cool build. The Sy-Klone pre-filters work well if you spend a lot of time on gravel roads. If you stick to pavement mostly though, I agree that the snorkel is window dressing.

Massive Jeep fan here. I own a 55' Willy's CJ-5 and have owned a few others over the years: 62' M38A1, 68' CJ-5, 86' CJ-7, 78' J-10, 89' Comanche, 96' Cherokee. Aside from the Willy's, the Cherokee was my last and it went off to new owners so I could stuff more kids in the daily driver. It was...

I suppose it would depend on sales and what one can get one compared to a regular ZR2, and what folks place on the value of the add ons - particularly factory installed and warrantied items such as the skid plating, winch ready front bumper and rear bumper. I usually go aftermarket with wheels...

Because they rock. ? If it wasn't the Bison, I would have went with a Rubi Gladiator (and may yet in a few years). People buy them for the same reasons people buy Rubicon model Jeeps or up-fitted other trucks and SUVs I suppose. Turn key (mostly), factory warranty, etc. There isn't anything on...

Too bad. For the longest time I held similar thoughts, then I drove a friend's and my preconceived notions of the truck were changed.

Have a look at the differences that exist in the suspension and running gear between the ZR2 and the regular Colorados. They are significant in my opinion. If you are moving from a Taco, ZR2 is the easy choice imho. It can be as easy as 1,2,3. 1) Get a Bison, 2) add the Highmark flares, and 3)...

The FJ Cruiser may have been a flash in the pan in N. America but it was hardly unsuccessful as evidenced with it still being manufactured for overseas markets. Maybe not the SUV for everyone, but likely the best of the lot in the O.P.'s list, imho, with more aftermarket options and support...

Very nice - how are you liking the top?

You are lucky your phone charges wirelessly - seriously, go buy a lotto ticket. Guys are doing the delete mod to have another semi-useless cubby hole as opposed to the completely useless wireless charger. Now that I think of it, that is my biggest pet peeve with this truck. When I mentioned no...

2019 ZR2 Bison with the 2.8L diesel. Had Chevy not offered the 2.8L Diesel and the Bison package to go with it, I doubt I would have even test drove a Colorado. I likely would have ended up with a Tacoma Pro or not bought a new truck at all. Previous couple of vehicles to this were: 2007...

It looks on the surface that Ford are actually delivering what enthusiasts want. Shocker. I wonder if they did anything to beef up the 44s? Brakes? 35s with locked rear and front IFS are bound to break driveline, so it will be interesting to see what or how Ford deals with warranty issues when...

Hey Schooner - did you have that rack done up by the Calgary rack guy (Len)?

I cannot stand Ford's eco boost line of engines - I use them at work. Toyota lost me when they dropped the venerable 4.0l for the 3.5l, and as much as I love minivans, I wasn't going to go with the Gladiator with one of their power-plants in one. Had Chevrolet not offered the 2.8l Diesel with...

Rago Fabrication has some stuff but not sure about 2nd gen.

I think you missed my point. For sake of clarity, let's say: Bison = OEM Bison bought from Chevrolet. Bison+ = This AEV package being discussed. If you did one of these Bison+ builds from AEV with no additions and used a base OEM Bison to start, you would end up with the same truck as you would...

What size are those STT Pros if you don't mind me asking?

AEV wants $12K on top of a standard Bison and $13K on top of a standard ZR2 for the same base package on this build. The Factory supplied Bison is then only ahead with the steel front bumper and skid plates. Absolutely not worth the extra $12k on top of an OEM Bison for the squeeze. I can see...

I can't really recommend a set of tires for you as everyone is different in their likes, but I've had good experience with Yokohama Geolandars, BFGs and the GY Duratracs as general all round AT's for all weather use on Jeeps, Land Rovers and Land Cruisers. Best winter tires I've had were Nokian...
