    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Thanks! We actually have an amazing group of rigs in our camping group, Subaru Outback, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. Its a fantastic group. My exhaust is a Borla. It didn't come with the truck when I got it, so I contacted the dealer and made sure I was adding the upgraded exhaust...

    ROOF TOP TENT - "MATTRESS"

    I would definitely try a 2 or 3 inch topper first and throw it on the existing tent mattress and see how it feels. I bought a cheap twin sheet from Walmart for like $4 on put that on the topper as well and then I can wash it after trips. See if the tent will close with both mattresses, I'm sure...

    ROOF TOP TENT - "MATTRESS"

    What kind of tent do you have? Soft Shell, Hard shell? I bought a 3" topper off amazon and just added it to the already 3" mattress that came with the tent. When I have my soft shell, it did make it a little bit more difficult to fold close, but still worked. Now that I have my hard shell, it...

    Step 1 complete with the back of my 2017 Crew Cab Silverado. Platform and back wall is in and secured. Next up is laying the carpet on the platform and wall and securing the fridge behind the driver seat. Last step will be the drawers and cubby hole for my griddle.

    Full Size - Overland Specific Gear

    Yea I'm leaning on not getting a winch, as I think a lot of the bumpers with a winch mount are just too big and bulky. I know people will try to say I need a winch..but I stick to forest roads and such, and don't intend to ever do any crazy roads

    Full Size - Overland Specific Gear

    I’ve been looking at front bumpers for awhile. Westin and DV8 are really the only ones I’ve come across for my 2017 Silverado. I’m pretty picky though. I don’t want something that sticks out to far, I’d like it to blend in as good as possible. Haven’t found any rear bumpers I like yet. Hoping to...

    New guy - Northeastern NC

    NC Piedmont/CLT Meet-Up Planning

    I know we had one last month at the garage shop...but figured not everyone made it out to that. We did the last one in late November or early December at the White Water Center....but it is $6 just to get in and park, so would prefer to avoid that
