I did in my silverado. Couple pics in this thread. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/15-silverado-very-high-country.15419/

Look at Williams usa for the best non snap on sockets. They are made in the same factory as snap on and use an older snap on design at a fraction of the price they are also covered by a lifetime warranty by mail. usually they will just send you a new socket if you need it. if you are worried...

don't need a 7 inch. I have a zone offroad 6 inch with some BDS parts, you just have to get wheels that don't have a massive offset. A buddy has 34.8's on a fox coilover setup its only like 3 inches and all he had to do is trim the air dam and zip tie the inner fender he also got wheels with low...

Did some camping just south of clear lake let me check the site. It was primitive but very nice and good view. The couple hr trip up to clear lake was worth the view for sure. South mineral campground was the name. As long as there isn't snow or a ton of rain to wash out the trail you should...

Black bear pass isn't on the alpine loop the loop has engineer and cinnamon passes. Black bear goes down into Telluride

I did the entire loop. The only thing to be mindful of is your length. A dude in a 2 door jeep said I would have trouble, I had to do a couple 3pt turns, but there wasn't any terrain that a full size pickup couldn't handle.

I've got a 15 I went with a 6 inch lift because of the issues with the 3.5 inch "lifts". The problem with the those kits is that it messes your suspension angles all up as well as severely limiting your downward travel in the front. In my opinion the zone offroad 4 inch kit is the best cost to...

I would have a hard time looking at anything that isn't a Tahoe or Suburban. They are super reliable, when they do need work the parts are cheap and everywhere. A burb will have room for 7 people a Tahoe will have room for 5 and gear, none will fit 7 people particularly comfortably especially on...

Man, I just got back from glacier last week. We did a bunch of the stuff on the west side I was actually surprised that there weren't any fire restrictions when we were there, the conditions seemed pretty ripe for a fire it was in the mid 90's and dry the whole week. I really enjoyed going up...

my cooler is behind the driver seat. I didn't think it was too bad getting into it without a slide. I could stand on my running boards and get in there fine. in fact with my truck as high as it is if it was on a slide it would be too high to get into since I wouldn't be able to stand on the...

After my trip I have decided the next mod is for sure going to be a fridge. Replacing ice and having soggy food is a pain in the ass. its not bad for a weekend when the ice doesn't melt much and get soggy, but when you are 5 days into a trip and running nasty rough roads nothing in the cooler is...

It has a wedge that goes in the receiver hitch when you tighten the mount bolt from the rear of the vehicle it locks the wedge in the receiver hitch. I only wish it held the tire a little closer to the tailgate. I only put it on for trips. If I'm going to be in town and not hauling stuff around...

Hitchgate came in today and I got it mounted up. Pretty simple install, took 20 minutes tops. Seems pretty sturdy so far. Leaving tomorrow for a 2 week trip to yellowstone, glacier and the black hills.

Got the floor of the back seat carpeted. I'm not too good at carpet, but I think it came out ok.

Got the back seats out now need to find some carpet to match.
