I missread your intent for the thread. :) So here is my answer. My truck comes stock with 30.5" tires. It also suffers from low ground clearance (8.3" or so) and a fairly long wheelbase (128.3"). So larger diameter tires and a lift to accomodate them were my first order of business to be able...

What a few episodes on 4wd Action. It's fun watching Graham run the same obstacles in his 31" tired Isuzu DMax as Shaun does in his 35" tired Land Cruiser. It's instructive as well. There are many times the DMax bottoms out and has to winch where the bigger tired trucks make it look easy. On the...

Very cool! I like the decorative old school baitcasters. :) Perfect setup for a sportsman.

Way to keep the family rig rolling by repurposing it for a new career.

Sliders and skid plates make the trail much less stressful. With a 2" - 2.5" lift and some 255/85/16s you'll be set! Digging the build so far!

Did you use the full Eibach kit or just the shocks? The truck looks great. :)

If he doesn't upgrade the CVs then those will be first to go. Hehe

Don't. Just pretend it was cheap. ;)

How good is that! Well done.

Snow is weird. I've gone up a trail and had excellent traction only to come back the same way later in the day to find out that the traction levels have dropped significantly due to some top layer melting. Snow traction can change drastically so it's hard to discredit the Raptor unless they...

Totally fixable! I agree with Shaun. Get the panels fixed up then throw a new rear wrap around bumper on it with swing out spare tire and jerry can mounts. Those will hide any minor imperfections and you can adventure the hell out of it with less worry than before. :) You're building more...

Keep the Raptor. :)

Superstrut is pretty cool stuff. I like where you are going with this.

3/8" x 3" toggle bolts. The install is detailed here. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/2018-gmc-canyon-mtb-overland-adventure-rig.18668/page-4

I'll look into that. The current brackets are made of stuff I had lying around and can refashion into other holders that don't require security. What what doesn't need to be secure? lol

I replaced the worn velcro straps on my RTT. The VELCRO wasn't holding anymore and on my last camping trip I had to place zipties around the straps to keep them in place. I bought about $20 in buckles and new 1" strap to replace all of the velcro items on the tent. ACE Hardware FTW!

Working on accessory security in the bed of the truck. The idea is to make it more difficult for a "smash & grab" opportunity while traveling. I live in a low-crime area so my main concerns are when parked in town for very short periods of time and when traveling. I added a cable lock which...

That's why he got that new bumper. :tearsofjoy:
