    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    You could probably do alright fabbing those up and selling them. I for one love the look and utility of those big old Blazers and Broncos that had the spare on the back. That would be my personal preference

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Who fabbed up that rear tire carrier? Kind of cook to see, like a 78- 95 Bronco or old S-10 Blazer

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Nice 2500 you have there. Kind of the direction I want to go, minus the rooftop tent. I'll sleep in the bed with an inflatable and a sleeping bag. But I like the lighting coming out of the sides of your cap. I have a rack on top of my cap, so I'll use that for any extra gear or kayaks and such...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I have Geolandar highway tires on my K2 right now and I admit, I have been loving the quiet, comfortable highway ride. But I am looking for something more in the AT range - something like Wrangler Trail Runners or as much as BF Goodrich AT's. Couple more options to think about

    Aggressive. Very nice. I'm gonna have to rethink what tires I want for my K2

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Mine is a 2014 so I'm not sure if the wheel well size is much different. I just stepped outside to measure. A little difficult to get a proper measurement with the wheel in there, but I think my rear wheel wells are only about 37 or 38 inches at the widest part near the bottom. Im not sure but...

    I might have read it and forgot, or I might have missed it...did you trim at all?

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    What?!?! Did you just stuff 35's on a 17 inch rim under that Sierra? With only an inch and a half of lift? That tread looks aggressive.

    Thank you, 454. A good choice. Next time I wont be penny wise and pound foolish. Saving the money on the 5100's...well, I'm happy with the 5100's, but next time I'll spend the extra cake and get them pre-assembled so I can do the installation myself

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I've got the 5.3 and I'm of the same mind...I'm not messing with the powerplant. I take it to the dealer for the oil changes so that they cant come back at me if the AFM / DFM screws the pooch.

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    That type of thing was originally for affixing offroad lights. Some made them into real roll bars

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Seriously though, that baja bar on the back of that concept Desert Fox did become an option. But I feel that so often, GM makes a try on something really cool and gives up on it too easily if it doesnt take off like lightning. Kind of like any Info-commercial for a "revolutionary" knife, where...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    So theres the desert fox concept that is a throwback to a special edition GMC had in the late 70's. Personally I'm waiting for the DESSERT fox, where apple pie and brownies can be made in a small oven in the back seat and given over to the driver on a whim. Big smile.

    ^^^^ if you can't overland on the plains or in the desert with THAT, I think you're doing it wrong

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Stop me if I've said this before, but full sized trucks kind of already ARE overland rigs almost right out of the box. Especially so if you simply level the front, remove the "chin strap" (I like Prius Catcher...I may use that from now on) and put some 33's on them. Throw everything in the...
