Thanks. Literally almost everything in the white truck is from my black. Things done differently: solidified the roof rack as the white truck doesn't have a sunroof - so no ability to stand up through it; Torsion bars - Sway Away custom grind to give me 23% more spring rate in the front end...

Power in the rear - First, I have dual batteries - with the aux near the passenger side firewall in the headspace (GM makes a battery mount for that space). Attached to that (amongst other things) is the ARB fridge harness. That runs to the back of my truck, up through the rear drain port where...

Hi - nice to see someone else using an Av. Your solution is creative, but for the pics it appears as though you lost the ability to use your covers and rack at the same time - which takes away one of the main overland benefits of the Avalanche - secured storage. But one thing I have learned...

Looks great

Interesting - so the area that had the boulders - that is an alternate path I recommended for larger vehicles that runs up by Kokoweef. But - that should be a through route, unless something has changed. I'll ping BLM to see if I need to route that alternative a different way. Thanks for the...

Nice write up - and thanks for getting out on the EMHT. I see you used my track and the supplement guides - thanks. It seems there is a bunch you skipped? Mailbox 1? Mailbox 3? Mailbox 2 (my track literally goes right to it)? Or did I misread your writeup? Aiken Mine area is nowhere near the...

Stellar response. Well done.

Yeah that'll be tough to overcome, unless you go old school and sit on a stack of towels. LOL

They do not have power seats. However, it may depend on how your particular seat mounts. I had a similar thought when I first got mine - I was thinking I could remove my power seats and mount the School-Mann's to the powered base. Unfortunately, my seat controls were actually integrated into my...

They make resistors that mimic the air bag sensors in the seats - put those inline and your vehicle thinks it still has those airbags in place. I had to do with mine - works like a charm.

Scheel-Mann Vario F - is ergonomic and orthopedic. The F variant has a lower side bolster than the R variant so it's easier ingress and egress. Awesome seat and I looked at pretty much everything on the market and the Scheel-Mann was hands down the best available. As for a race seat - I have one...

Absolutely no deformation at all. That is a very strong piece as the sail panel acts as a roller in the Avalanche.

Soon..........progress is being made.

HEY!! Thanks. Yah - it was a really nice article that ended up being her epitaph. So - where it ties into the roof - not welded. Made an angled plate and welded the tube to that. Used two sheet metal screw (on each one) to hold in place - then drilled for Grade 8 14mm bolts through the...

Thanks - much appreciated

Thanks. The water system is a 5 gallon manually pressurized (read that as hand pump) Life Saver Element jerry can that filters and kills all bacteria, virus, and parasites for 5000 gallons (or 20000Litres). I have 5 of those filters so I'm good for 25000gallons or 100000Litres. Pretty much can...

My old girl got some love - give it a read, before Brady knows what he did. LOL. https://expeditionportal.com/an-overland-chevy-avalanche/

Well - some love for the old girl - at least a GMT 800 got some attention https://expeditionportal.com/an-overland-chevy-avalanche/

Like I said - both are good - each have advantages and disadvantages. My IFS is far from stock and I had put more than 48000 dirt miles on it with never a problem - but I'm also a maintenance fanatic. So - for the OP - my recommendation is - get which truck you like and whether it has IFS or SA...
