    Full Sized Spare

    Seen people mention the Wilco carrier but there's also the RIGd mega-carrier for a bit more and it's built the carry 35"+ tires on an HD truck (I think up to 40"). I have the multi-fit on my Tahoe since I'm only running 33s. They also have a camera relocation kit for it I also liked it...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    The Tahoe was feeling a bit lonely so I picked up a friend for it 2013 Scion FR-S manual. Now I can have fun off-road as well as on-road

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Not sure if I've mentioned it on this thread but I love the General Grabber ATX's. They're pretty quiet, have plenty of grip, very similar tread pattern to the KO2's but slightly cheaper, also they're ice stud-able if that matters. The factory size set I had on the Tahoe even had a 60k mile...

    2004 Tahoe Z71

    My first vehicle was a '93 K1500 Blazer. Oil pump failed one day and had to sell it cause at the time I couldn't afford a new motor I also thought about getting an '07-14 but the towing rating is abysmal for a vehicle that size. From what I've read it's only about 5000lbs compared to my '04's...

    2004 Tahoe Z71

    Long post: So I guess it's been a while since I've updated this thread but since the last update I've done a few things. In April/May I picked up a RIGd tire carrier when they had a sale Not long after that I had a flowmaster 50 delta flow muffler welded in for just a bit more noise...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Lost every gear except park as I was about to leave for work earlier. Turns out the bushing that connects the shift cable to the transmission failed after almost 200k miles. Thankfully parents live only about ten minutes away and I could borrow dad's truck for the night. Made it to work on time...

    Weight vs gvwr

    GVWR on my '04 Tahoe is 6800. Day-to-day I'm probably at about 5700-5800. Loaded up for trips is most likely less than 6000 if it's just me

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Got rid of the dusty, restricting, factory intake tube for one from AirRaid. Probably making 1 extra hp and 1 or 2 more mpg haha. Put an AEM dryflow filter in the stock airbox cause I figured that would be best to keep out dust and dirt. I can now hear the induction noise for a split second...

    Daily driver ?

    The Tahoe currently is my daily driver, but hopefully in the next few months it will become my "every-other-daily" driver. Hoping to get something fun for on road/track that's halfway decent on fuel. Better than 14mpg at least

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Not my rig but Dad's RAM needed new headlights so he ordered and I installed some new black housings and Beamtech LED bulbs. Old ones were so scratched/cloudy that a restore kit did hardly anything. Hopefully won't have to adjust them more than I have cause it's a pain to do on this truck...

    Miles per gallon lost

    My 2004 Tahoe will average 14mpg. Not horrible for 4 speed hauling 6000lbs, roughly 500 of that is me and the mods and gear I carry daily. It's definitely factory geared for being a highway bruiser cause on a road trip averaging about 70mph I got a hair over 17mpg

    Ultraswing Hitch Carrier by RiGd

    So for towing there is a hitch slot that's inline with where it mounts to your vehicle. That hitch is rated for 10,000lbs which is about 2500 more than what my Tahoe is rated for. I will say that with a 75lb tire, ~45lb bike rack, and 37lb bike there is a little bit of wobble but nothing that is...
