    Anyone using an GMC AT4 or any other GM pickup for overlanding?

    they all have their issues... fords death wobble and infotainment systems, remember the 6.0 and 6.4 ? GM and the afm system, and you have to discount 50% of all of it you hear about because people do stupid stuff. without the AFM stuff, the 5.3 and 6.2 are fantastic. nothing wrong with the...

    A great, light weight setup for a half ton. Basic camper with slide out upper bed, tilt up roof, cabinet space, 100 watts solar and battery. 7 blade truck connection, manual jacks. I believe it weights less than 1000 lbs dry. I can pick it up loaded with fork extensions on my utility tractor...

    Advice on purchasing a truck shell?

    i just picked up an ATC Colorado for my 15 GMC 1/2 ton. it has a honeycomb reinforced roof and only hit me for about 1400. Adding rails will not void the warrenty. I looked and and loved the frame in the ARE but it was about 3x the price. We only plan on putting a box for skiis on the roof...

    Tires

    We had ~ 10 350 srws at aprox the same weight. i was driving 175 miles per day with over half of it on graded gravel. most of the other trucks were doing a bit less. round numbers: 1 per 5k miles on dirt would be 1 per week. that would be in the ballpark anyway. roads full of 1 to 2 in...

    Tires

    f 350 13k lbs. i found the Revo2 much more resistant to sidewall issues than the bfg's. So much so, that we switched to them on our fleet in Wyoming. Lots of gravel and rocky road travel. We were changing about 1 a week of the bfgs and went to less than 1 a month with the Revo2. The BFGs...

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    those appear to be exact copies of the original tred ramps. I try to avoid giving money to counter fitters. There are about 5 counterfits of these products for ever legit one on amazon right now. i have called out several of them that even use the pictures and description from maxtrax or tred...
