    2008 Silverado Build

    After I built the bed platform there was no room for my cooler anymore and I wanted a permanent spot. I have the Yeti Tundra 75 which is exactly the size of the Silverado double rear seat. I never have passengers over there so it was an easy decision to pull the seats and build a platform for...

    2008 Silverado Build

    One of the first things I did on my truck was build a platform to sleep on and store things under. There's a million ways people build them, so I just jumped in and built what I thought would be good for me knowing full well I may just rebuild it later. I knew only after putting it to use can I...

    2008 Silverado Build

    Yeah the whole panel comes off, all interior dash panels do pretty easily. You take off the interior fuse panel cover, unbolt the parking brake lever (chock your wheels or you'll scare the crap out of yourself when the parking brake disengages), and then there's a couple screws and some clips...

    2008 Silverado Build

    Rad, excited to see your build. To be honest, I ordered the sPOD before knowing if there was good dash clearance—I sort of assumed. That being said, I do like where I installed mine since they are more discreet and one of my hands is usually resting on my knee right there next to them, so it's...

    December 26th-30th Baja Mexico. Camping / Overlanding to Bahia de Los Angeles - 12/26/2017

    The borders and all military checkpoints were fast. The weather was warm (not hot) during the day and breezy at night. There are whales at Ojo de Liebre Lagoon already, and more arriving daily. There were hardly any other visitors when we were there. Camp Archelon in Bahia Del Los Angeles is...

    Christmas in Baja

    Oh dang, I didn't see that—but I'm new to OB and haven't done any rally points. Well, I'll definitely be back.

    Rad, seems like a lot of people were down there around the same time.

    Christmas in Baja

    On the 22nd, we set off from Seattle Washington to Baja in search of sun, whales, and whatever adventures we could get ourselves into. Our first night we stopped in Shasta Lake area, then Joshua Tree on night two before setting off for Mexico on day 3. Crossing through Mexicali was a breeze...

    2008 Silverado Build

    Just added rear auxiliary lights since I can't really see when backing up at night, even in town. I also got the sPOD system which I installed at the same time last weekend. I've been running the front lights for half a year just with the supplied Rigid switches, but moved them over to the sPOD...

    2008 Silverado Build

    I got my Silverado 4 years ago and it's taken me on a ton of adventures. It's become my way to get out of the city, rally down forest service roads, and set up my little home away from home. 2008 Chevrolet Silverado LT 4wd w/ factory locking rear differential Modifications Duratrac 285/70R17...
