I look forward to seeing what you come up with. You'll find that the folks around here are pretty cool and they don't give members grief for mistakes, ugly designs or even questionable welds. None of that is directed towards your build. Everyone is supportive. :)

Very cool! Being able to fab up bumpers yourself saves loads of cash and you can design it specifically for your needs. Sliders are SUPER helpful for our long wheelbase rigs. I'd like to do something like the ARB bumper with the fender guards that tie the brush guard and rock slider/steps...

I like the storyline. :) Have a look at the DV8 bumper insert with winch mount as well as their rear bumper or the Relentless Fabrication bumpers. They will fit the Colorado and Canyon. Of course you are already aware of 589Fab. https://dv8offroad.com/collections/gmc-bumpers...

Thanks man! I'm talking to DV8 off-road right now and it may get a lot more interesting. :)

Yeah, now that I have paid for mounting and balancing it's not really worth it to sell them. Especially with a 3,000 mile trip coming up. The fuel savings alone will be over $120+. I thought the vibration was from the Wildpeaks but it was there with the Geolandars too but much less pronounced...

That's actually pretty funny because we will be driving through Boise around the same time. LOL I decided to keep them since they were not selling and just use them for my long road trip tires so I remounted them on the OEM wheels. :(

I agree with this. 1 or 2 sizes up depending on load range choice seems reasonable for most vehicles. As you size up going narrower allows you to avoid the gearing issue somewhat by keeping weight down compared to the same diameter tire in a much wider size.

Get the ST Maxx in load range C. It will fit no problem. If you like to really like to flog the truck off-road and need the extra protection and ground clearance then step up to the 80 and get whatever tire strikes your fancy. The Wildpeak AT3W, ST Maxx, Ridge Grappler, Open Country, etc. are...

There's not many Es available in an AT but you have some choices in C. The Cooper ST Maxx in that size is a C but given how tough the ST Maxx is I would put it up against most Es any day of the week. They run a little small like the KO2 so with a little trimming you can size up to the 255/80/17...

Here's my "long-term" review of my Tepui RTT. https://reviews.mtbr.com/tepui-roof-top-tent-review

With a full size as a base platform I'd skip the RTT and do a cap that is a little higher than the cab and then go to town building storage and a bed platform inside. You'll always be ready to move and you won't have to deal with putting away a wet tent or listen to the tent flap all night long...

They look great and appropriate for the rig. Good choice!

Instead of cutting the waffle I moved it forward quite a bit. I don't have rubbing up front. It's on the plastic trim piece at the back of the wheel well and the liner on the inside back of the well. The trim piece is the hardest part to clearance and still look clean but I have an idea that...

If you don't want to do a ton of trimming then stick with a 255 or at the widest an LT275/70/17 which basically looks the same as the LT285/70/17 for the most part and is only .4" shorter than the P285. My dream tire would be a 265/80/17 or 275/75/17. :) Something in that 265-275 width but 33"...

The Wildpeak AT3W is offered in a 255/80/17 *evil grin* That's what I would try out if I had an 8" wheel. A true 33" and only 52lbs in an E-load. I'm also finding the Es don't ride as terrible as I expected. At 35psi they feel slightly firmer than the P-metrics but totally liveable so I...

Nitrochargers? I think that's what my buddy has on his '06 Taco and they ride sooo much smoother over rough terrain than my Eibach setup. So I just ordered a set of Kings to fix that issue. lol
