I put a new winch on my Sierra. I waited for a while for the RC hidden winch and they finally came out (about a year ago). Very well built and not too bad to install. There is some cutting and drilling to do but it can be done with a cutoff wheel if that’s all you have access to. I’m very...
I know this is an older thread but in case you are still looking here’s another solution. I run the Redarc 1225 to just charge the aux batt and regulate the solar input. For shore power I opted to do it through an inverter. I haven’t installed it yet but I bought the Xantrax freedom 2kw...
Great advice and thank you for the input. I have really enjoyed reading the responses and am certainly picking up quite a bit from you all. I’m very fortunate to be in a position to be able to purchase the gear I may need as opposed to just getting what I can afford. Majority of my life has been...
I was looking at the bigger winches but wanted to keep it concealed behind the bumper. The RC kit I bought only allowed up to a 12k. Thank you for the input. It looks like I have some more studying to do.
Thank you sir. I noticed you’re from Elk Grove. I lived there for 12 years before moving to Arden Park where I’m at now. My last truck looks just like yours. I sold it to my brother before buying my 16.
He built and added the bumpers and grill. This was right after he Plasti-dipped it. He’s not...

I have a 2016 GMC Sierra lifted on 35’s. The truck isn’t for rock crawling but more for fire roads and snow. I just picked up a Smittybilt XRC 12.5k winch and a...
I’m running the same 35’s on my 2016 GMC with factory 3.42 gears. It works fine. Speedometer is spot on. Verified it last week on CHP speed check sign. It’s just a little sluggish around the neighborhood. Constantly wants to stay in 3rd gear and lug. Flip it to manual and leave it in 2nd if it...
Hello Everyone,
Another newbie here from Sacramento. I've been trolling your forum for a few months now for Ideas on how to set up my truck and decided to join last night. I am new to overlanding but certainly not new to camping as I grew up at the base of the Sierra Foothills in a town called...
