Where's all the silverado's?.......

[Prflyer]

Nothing fancy, and 2wd to boot. But it gets the job done, and it's paid for

'98 Silverado 3 door ext cab, short bed. 5.7 with 75K miles. 30x9.5 BFG AT's on stock alloys. Load up the kids and some firewood and we're good for a few days or a week.

Here's a shot from last weekend off the Bradshaw trail, part way up Augustine Pass.

Gabe, just pick up one exactly like yours and thought I never see one in here, gives me ideas!

One more to the list, an abused tow rig and mobile work shop/power tool. Its a 2002 5.3 with a few more things that weren't there when these pictures were taken. I ripped off the nerf bars (some extreme offroading :smiley_drive and took off the trim badges. Also picked up an 8274 for $325 and a few new parts. I have an xd900i that goes on the back when things get interesting.

It's got cranked bars, a sweet stereo, k&n, lights, cb, line-x, flowmasters, a hi lift and some other usless things but I love it and it makes me smile :victory:

Apologies for the bad pictures,
Drew

Here mine...2000 3/4 ton 4x4. I don't wheel it much since it rides like a brick, but it is one of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. I have put 6 years of hard towing on it with vurtually no problems!:wings:

That Palomino looks familiar, how old is it?

My Z-71 clean....

Playing at one of the local mud holes.

I'm currently in the process of planning out on how i'm going to make this truck a expedition rig like alot of the other trucks on this website.

It is a Silverado

A FWC on a Blazer is better than a Sports Mobile anytime, any where.

Blazer and FWC

Thanks Edohart and Larry. I like this setup too. I had a FWC a few years ago and loved it. My wife wanted more cabinet space so I bought a Lance. Couldn't get it off road so when I saw this set up I couldn't pass it up. I camp on the Smoky Hill river in Western Kansas for three months in the spring and two months in the fall. I have some health issues (work accident ten months before my retirement date), and the dryer climate is what initially drew me to that country.

Now I am lucky enough to camp on a large ranch and fossil hunt, metal detect and watch the prettiest sunsets in the world. My camps are on private ground so I get to see lots of beautiful chalk formations that no one but the land owners get to enjoy.

The land is historic to an extreme. The country is large, wide open and it has its own spirit, sometimes good, sometimes malevolent. You can feel the history when out there.

Would love to post some pictures but can't for a couple reasons. My computer crashed about a month ago and I lost all my photos from this last season. I did save some that I had posted on sites but don't know how to post them here. What the hell is a url and where do you find it on a photo. You see, my computer skills are lacking, when the machine works it is great but when it doesn't I just want to walk out my front door and throw it in the lake.

I am in process of building an off road trailer from an m416 and my plans are to try and stay in the valley for thirty days before resupplying. It is thirty miles to the closest grocery store and fifty miles to a larger town where I can refill propane bottles. So it is a 100 mile drive to get supplies. I have been making these trips since 2006, most of the time I run out of water in about ten days to two weeks. This trailer will expand my stays.

If you can help me post pictures and your interested I would lilke to show the country out in Western Kansas.

Would you please tell me of your camping adventures.

Bummer about the work accident but it sounds like you are making the most of life anyway.

On the pics right click them and it will tell you the url of the picture. example: www.tinypic.com/whatever, copy that(right click, copy) then take that and click the icon that looks like a yellow envelope with a mountain at the bottom and paste it in the window that pops up(right click, paste) make sure "http" is only on there once. Hope that makes sense.

Goodluck, feel free to pm me if you need more help with pics.

Thanks Istzephyr. PM on way.

not a silverado but its sierra cousin. the blue one behind it is my 97 sierra with a 383:sombrero:

 

[boellis87]

Not really expedition ready, but it's taken me some pretty interesting places.
Just glad to see some other silverados on a site like this. Thought I was gonna sell it and get a diesel, but I've decided to keep it and do an sas with expedition style travel and a do-it-all mentality in mind.
