Hey all! I’m moving to KC this summer and looking for overlanding people and trip ideas. I’m coming from Idaho where there is a ton of public BLM land to explore so I’m not sure how it is in Missouri.

I have a 2006 Silverado 1500 and am looking to add some power into the bed and am trying to find the best option and also budget friendly. I didn’t have any luck finding existing threads. The truck has a camper shell. I am planning on adding lighting in the shell on a switch, a charging port...

That turned out great!

Very cool! Well let me know what you come up with. I was looking in my truck bed today and I think the super strut could work great. I'm thinking threaded rivets would work best to fasten to the bed so I'll have to get some of those. I actually have some super strut sitting in my garage from a...

I just found out about this and would have loved to have joined. I definitely want to see some post trip videos, etc.

Oh that's a good idea. That would make it very customizable. And very budget friendly Also I just saw that you're in Middleton, ID. I'm just around the corner in Caldwell!

I have a 2006 Silverado 1500 and I've been trying to find a way to mount accessories (i.e. hi lift jack, shovel, axe, etc) in the bed. I know companies like Built Right Industries make bed side racks but I can find very few, if any, aftermarket accessories like that for my model truck. Does...

I'm trying to catch up this thread with all the updates with my truck. A couple of weeks after I bought the truck it developed a lifter tick which was not something I was excited to spend money on. But luckily that's something I was able to fix myself. So since I was in there replacing the...

That's a good call. I have one I will have to try for that. I'm going camping next week and it's probably going to get a little rainy

Thanks a lot. I also love this look of Silverados. Always been my favorite since they came out. Towing is definitely a reason a decided to go full-size instead of anything smaller. I won't be towing much but it's there when I need it. Ya I should probably look at upgrading the shocks. That may...

Picked up this used shell for $200! It's not exactly the look I was going for but it'll work for now.

Bought the truck in Utah and stopped to go camping on the way back home to Idaho. The leveling kit makes the ride super stiff up front especially on the dirt roads. Right now my plan is to delete the torsion bar suspension and replace it with a coilover conversion from Atomic Fabrication for the...

Just picked up this beauty back in June. It's pretty stock but it's a good blank canvas to start building. 2006 Silverado 1500 LT Z71 5.3l 4wd Leveling kit

Hahaha nice try. I’ll be keeping it

Finally joined the full-size truck game. Picked up a 2006 Silverado 1500. I've been wanting one of these forever. It's the Z71 and has a basic leveling kit. I'm super stoked to slowly build it and adventure it!
