    Solid food that can be reheated in a saucepan on a campstove

    I'm not much on eating pork, but bacon...well, sometimes I just cant resist! But there isn't much that's truly better the second time around. Except chili. And pizza. Well, pizza is actually just good not reheated but let gone cold.

    Camping in and around dry riverbeds

    My father was in the army in the 60's and when he got home, he was always taking us for walks in the woods. Periodically, he would have us turn around to see where we had been, so we knew what it should look like on the way back. That and other tricks. One thing he always said was not to camp...

    Airing Down Nitrogen Filled Tires

    Nitrogen in our tires is a "princess and the pea" situation. Please dont be that princess

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    No offense on my end, Maze. You seem to have confirmed my thoughts on this. You almost never see full size trucks on the old Top Gear and they were used -with disdain -on one episode of Grand Tour when they went to rescue Hammond in Alaska. I've never lived in Europe but my brother has and...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I know, right?! (meant to say, I dont know why IFS couldn't be made robust enough - I'm sure it is or can be). I agree with the reason US trucks are not well received overseas is because of the wild fuel prices. We make personal big trucks (k1500 through k3500) very well. Until recently, our...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    See, now guys, I always understood that solid front axle was cheaper and better offroad, although my 90's k1500 big Blazers were IFS and were a very comfortable ride and with no real maintenance done per say. I can honestly say that I have very much indeed experienced death wobble in my solid...

    2016 GMC Canyon trail build

    Nice truck, RJ. All my trucks have been Chevy up until my current, 2014 GMC Sierra. Love it, and if I were going to go midsize, I thought I would go Canyon. I just wish there was a Canyon zr2!

    2016 GMC Canyon trail build

    We were looking for a car for my girlfriend after her 04 Nissan Murano was smoking. We thought about a Honda CRV, Subaru Forester, Toyota Rav4 and 4Runner. We really liked the 4 Runner but that was a lot of truck for her all the time. I have a 14 GMC Sierra that she likes a lot so she started...

    Banning Boondocking?

    Yeah that's not cool. Good on you, what you did there. Last time I was pheasant hunting I happened upon just a couple spent shells and picked them up. Got me thinking a little. Over the last few hundred years, how much lead shot is sitting in the topsoil in any one hunting area

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I looked at that pinstriping and thought the same thing, but then saw the door handle and a small section near the edge of the door was not pinstriped - like it was super dirty and someone had cleaned the handle and touched part of the door edge? And yet, the dirt looks pinstriped. So, is it...

    Kind of like that old video of the Tacoma bridge we had to watch in Physics class. ...but that didnt end well for the bridge

    Most of that looked quite do-able in a full size pickup. Not bad. How was the camping?

    On the website, under "ways to attend..." What's Andy Dwyer from Parks & Rec doing standing next to that Pinzgauer?

    Frame flex?

    By all means check your body mounts and corrosion. Having agreed with that, the flex will be more pronounced if the mounts are intact and the frame is flexing. If the frame is flexing and the body is well attached, then the body will also flex. This is why it is often difficult to open vehicle...

    Banning Boondocking?

    This makes me second guess my thoughts of moving westward to get away from Socialist Taxachusetts. New Hampshire is my easiest bet. Hows Montana? Anyone?

    Banning Boondocking?

    Truth. And the housing price spike will go back down to normal. Just before COVID I was looking. Then, BANG! A lot became available at lower prices for about a month (when nobody was venturing out). Then prices shot up like crazy. I'm telling the lady for the last few months "No. We aren't...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Sounds like a similar setup to mine but mines a 1500. I used Bilstein 5100's to raise my front and about 1.8 inches, but I dont know if they work for the 2500 HD. I also removed that air dam at the bottom of my front bumper. Clearance is a lot better. Sometimes I think "next time I'll get a...
