    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Bring back the K5 Blazer, please!

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Nothing wrong with fully leather wrapped as long as it's still a capable truck. My 14 Sierra z71 started out as an SLE but the original owner knew how to maximize the options and packages, so it's more like an SLT or Denali on the inside with SLE exterior. I added the Bilstein 5100's, 17 inch...

    Uh, dammit. I JUST found this thread.

    "An ending is just another beginning."

    Very nice! Now head on over to FCA or Stellanis or whatever they call themselves this decade, whow them your gmGrand Wagoneer, and tell them THIS is how the new one should have been done!

    Paid for last month, title in hand, and then...it's gone

    Yes, yes, we get it. Anything can be stolen and so on. Doesnt mean you give up and dont harden the target. Unless they specifically want YOUR stuff, maybe the thief moves on to the next one

    Massachusetts Sound Off!

    Mt Washington Auto Road is a fun drive with a view or famous bad weather. I recommend autumn time for that for the colors. Been to the Cape on many a vacation but never to Race Point. I second the motion for Acadis. Been to Bar Harbor but not the mountains there. Another Mass guy put up his...

    Paid for last month, title in hand, and then...it's gone

    Very sorry to hear about this, BE. COVID hysteria has indeed raised the price of travel trailers as everyone wants to get away from everyone else in relative comfort. I hope it was insured, yes, but I also would like to know if the campground was insured...? Seems to me they have some oweness...

    2006 GMC Sierra aka “granopy”

    I'm kind of like you: it's hard for me to see someone broke down on the side of the road. I sorta size them up, and the situation, but I very often will stop and see what can be done. While I DO know the reasons behind it, I am still amazed at how few able bodied men will stop and change a tire...

    2006 GMC Sierra aka “granopy”

    Looks beautiful, but so treaxherous! We had a little of that ourselves this week and my Beagle took me out for a Nantucket Sleigh Ride. We get ice like this now and then, and you can tell as you drive down the interstates because the trees that are in the dividing grounds will all be bent over...

    New England Area Trail Rides / Car Camping

    Well there is the Puppy Dog trail and the Hampster Ride. I think a couple of others. I started the Hampster out of Hollis NH. Some nice little farms and shops around there. Whole theres a lot of old paved road on the southern Hampster, some of that route is dirt and I imagine will be slick and...

    New President Andy II CB

    Pres Andy II would probably fit well in my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Less space in that thing. That was the beginning of Jeep and other truck and SUV manufacturers filling up the interiors with comfort, but less space for these kinds of things

    New President Andy II CB

    Congrats on the new CB! The 980 must have been a great radio, but seeing the Pres. Andy II up on the dash makes me think the 980 must have taken a lot of the view. If you dont need the SSB, no sense in having all that bulk. I never heard of the Pres Andy II before, just the old base stations...

    Big Rigs, Full Sized Only

    Nice truck. By the time you leave that gas station, THEY will need to refill THEIR tank!

    Big Rigs, Full Sized Only

    That, sir, is a classic! Spent many a day sitting in the bed of my father's '78 as we headed to old logging trails to gather firewood for the winter. What are the tires that you put on it? I'm on my phone and cant embiggen the picture enough to read it. Thanks

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Now, I dont mind a nice leather-wrapped steering wheel. Hell, I still seek out and install those perforated fake leather DIY wrap and thread steering wheel covers that came out in the 70's on everything I drive. Saves wear and tear on the steering wheel anyway. I dont even mind carpeted. That's...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    True, its lifted. But even seeing old advertisements for those things, you could see they were well up off the ground stock. Today's have a veritable cow catcher on them. A little snow plow without a snow plow, for the 1 or two inches of snow that's annoying yet barely enough to shovel. They...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I fix the transformation at the early 2000's. By the way, the new Tahoe is only about 4 to 6 inches shorter than that light blue 70's (80's?) Suburban. People bought them for their capability. Then the manufacturer puts out questionnaires oh, how would you improve it?" Same thing with the...
