One of the heaters decided to chew itself up randomly, ******** fuel economy (15L/100kms) and I wasn't feeling the crew cab, useless short bed. I'd get another one and try my luck again but extended cab this time. I went back to an RC with a V8 because why not, plus 8.8-10.8l/100kms is pretty dang enjoyable with a V8 with a nice length bed. That and when I traded it in, I got $4k more then I paid for it (GM rebates for the win)
Very nice truck and all good reasons to switch - would like to see more pictures too. Will this one still give you enough off-road capability to meet your needs?
Would have been a lot cheaper to put a locker in the first truck... ? but who am I to judge?Funny about off road, my Silverado was open diff, WT. This is a Z71 4X4 with a G80, so better setup for offroad, but it's lowered so that's a moot point haha. Around where I live, I can go 90% of the places I like with a lowered truck, so I'm not too concerned about off road capabilities right now. I do have some built driveshafts sitting in boxes just in case I get the itch to raise it but I'm thinking Gladiator or AEV Bison (ext cab) in a couple years if I leave this truck as is and sell it then.
The bed rack is the one I had built for my Silverado with the Alu-Cab setup. I couldn't sell it for the life of me, so I tossed it back on this truck. I tried a used canopy but I didn't like the look of it, so I sold that next day.
Nah, im happier with this setup.
Plans are to leave California for 2 or more weeks and see where we go, im retired, my wife is to about to retire so we are gonna overland
That front air dam must get a workout being 5 inches from the ground.Funny about off road, my Silverado was open diff, WT.

Is that a surplus utility slide in? Or local per company time those and I've always thought they'd make a great habitat.
It's an ARE DCU shell. I wanted one that was 6" taller than the cab but I found this on craigslist for a steal. It's a little more stealthy than a traditional slide in camper.
