That makes sense. Works for me. An SAS up front would be awesome but that would probably be way down the road if ever.

What about adding an additional leaf on a 1/2 ton? I'm looking at getting a truck soon for overlanding, pulling a small overland trailer, no more than 1500lbs. However in the future I plan on getting a camper also for the wife and kids. I'm not against getting a 3/4 ton, but if the 1/2 ton works...

Ya I'm definitely leaning more toward the 3/4 ton, however unfortunately fuel mileage also has to come into play. And the 1/2 generally gets better fuel mileage. Also I have looked into the BDS coilover systems for the front of the 3/4 ton which would help with the stock suspension issues...

That makes sense. I would definitely be looking at upgrading from stock suspension, tires etc. Thanks for your input! :blush:

Alright everyone I'm looking to get my overland rig and have my sights set on a 2003-2006 Chevy Silverado (my favorite body style), crew cab to fit the family. Full-size truck is just the way to go for me. However my dilemma is I can't really decide if I should get a 1/2 or a 3/4 ton pickup...

This thread is great! Can't wait to get my 03-06 Silverado. I'll definitely be coming back here!

Looks awesome! I love how you fit 35s and it doesn't look overly tall and top heavy. I plan on purchasing a crewcab Silverado as well when I start my build and I was thinking 33s would be the biggest I'd go because I didn't want to have to lift it too much. But this is making me rethink that...

Such a sick rig! An Xterra is definitely on my list!

James I am loving this build! I'm actually going to be starting on my own small trailer build this year. Similar plans for it but a different starting point. I also happen to live in Caldwell as well. I'd love to check out your trailer sometime!

This is awesome! I hope it comes to fruition because I am down. I'll happily buy one!

Thanks!

Anyone have any recommendations for some easy/moderate trails in the Treasure Valley area? I don't know of many places and would like to explore a little. Ideally something within a days drive to start off. TIA

Boise Idaho area. New member. Looking for some good beginner/easy trail ideas. If you have 'em!

Awesome!! This is that same platform I plan on using for my overland build. I love the classic bodystyle Silverados and Sierras. [emoji869] It's good to see more people building fullsize rigs. I'll definitely be following along as the build progresses. Keep us updated!

I'm really digging the S10 Blazer. Do you have any more pictures of it? Did you have to trim much to fit those tires?

Any updates on the trailer build?

Where did you get the LED lights and brake lights?

Looks awesome! Was there another thread for the trailer build? Was there supposed to be a link for it?

Any updates on the trailer build? Just found your thread and am loving reading through it
