A link to an article that just came out today on the new ZR2 Bison edition that will be coming out next Spring. GM got together with AEV and had a baby. Link...

Took the kids camping in the Outer Banks, NC earlier this Summer. The first of many camping trips in my new truck.

I just wanted to show that the Chevy Colorado is starting to develop a following in the Overlanding crowd. The pic below is from the overland thread in the following link. If anyone is wondering if these trucks can take a beating... just look @ post #160 in the following link. Lots of good...

I have a channel but just got my 2018 Chevy Colorado a few months ago. Been recording video but not putting anything up on it yet. There is some video headed my channels way though. I am slowly learning how to make better video. Just got a few better cameras... which will help too of course...

I used to have the Bully Dog "Watch Dog" on my old 05' Chevy Colorado gasser. It gave me the biggest gain in fuel economy that I have ever seen! All it did was train the driver to be more efficient. lol It worked well and I liked it. And through this post... I am now subscribed to the thread...

I think if I ever build one I will use a low pressure rad cap as well. Just as an insurance. There is a pretty good chance I will build one of these since I live near the beach... and go kayak fishing almost every weekend. Fish guts can smell HORRIBLE by the time the trash comes. I would like...

I do like the looks of the OEM plates and am sure they are likely strong enough. However, if I am throwing down money for protection... I am going to want to cover the whole power train. Do you know what all the OEM plates cover by chance? AKA also cover the transfer? I want to be rid of the...

And... I still might try this some day... but without pressure. Just hot water and gravity mounted high. Leaving no air in there when first filling it with cold water and keeping the valve open after use so the expanding heated air won't cause risk. Geese I am old. lol

I didn't even think of that aspect. Good point. I know the electrical PVC (grey) conduit at HD or Lowe's has something extra for UV stabilization. May be worth a consider for some folks. EDIT: I just realized something horrible!!! I am officially an old man now. I just told someone "you might...

@ Ditcherman No worries. I just wanted to make sure that those reading the thread kept it in mind and stayed safe. I have a feeling that the weak points are not the pipe... but where the things are attached to the pipe. Which is going to be drastically weaker. Even home hotwater tanks...

I was just looking at the original metal version of this. They integrated a automotive radiator cap... to vent excess pressure as it forms. Even has an explosion warning sticker next to that cap warning that it may explode if that safety cap fails.

Looks like a very neat and possibly very handy project. However, I have explosive concerns. As in... it may explode and hurt someone. What kind of pressure do you pressurize it to... and what pressure does it end up being after it heats up? Kind of reminds me of the spud guns from back in the...

If you need someone to ride along with you to do some exploring feel free to shoot me an invite. I need to take my new 4WD out to get familiar with it and for a shakedown ride or two to make sure I know what upgrades (If any) will be best focused on first. I am kind of a newbie... but not. I...

Just had someone on the Colorado forum link me a vid to the superskiz. These things look like they are SUPER THICK! I like...

Just spent a few minutes looking at the last two skid plate pics posted above. Looking at the difference in suspension components between the Reg Colorado and the ZR2 suspension. Looks like the only visible difference is A arms and shocks up front. The tie rods, ball joints, and all other major...

I am thinking that Aluminum are for folks who have them just in case or think they will only rarely hit like once a year or something. Steel is for the guys who think they will hit several times a year and want to drag the plates all the time doing things like the Rubicon. I think Aluminum may...

It is nice to have more than one option... so 3 options for skids is great!!!! I just check out the skids in that link. They do indeed look like a robust 3/16" steel. A.K.A. they are slightly IED resistant. Here is a pic of them unpainted. Looks like they come black though. (Pic is of a ZR2...

Some more links to resources for things I am looking at. The link below goes to some variations rock sliders I am looking at. They sell ARB bumpers and a lot of other things was well... https://www.rocky-road.com/chevy-colorado-rock-sliders.html The link below is from a store I have been using...

Suscribed….

Looking through those pictures gave me some flashbacks of a past life. I used to be a 63B for almost 6 years there... working on trucks in the motorpool. Sure was fun to take those beasts on a "test drive". lol
