    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Got the new rubber mounted, ARB awning acquired, Winch mount ordered and roof rack ready to be installed.... Need to do some minor trimming on the plastic bits but the tires fit just fine.

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I'm building a 1998 Z71 extended cab... I planned on ordering the CV's noted above in the next month or so and want to experiment with relocating the control arm droop bump stops to provide more articulation. I just ordered larger wheels and tires (305/70/16's) to help with ground clearance...

    Here is the beginnings of my overland project rig. The plan is to keep it simple stupid which is total a 180 from my previous rock Krawler build. 33-35 in tires, minimal lift for low center of gravity. Front and rear recovery winch, on board air and storage for kitchen and camp gear. Not sure...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I used to run the 5100's on my JKU years back then later switched to FOX... Both are great shocks, I felt the 5100's were too soft for my tastes.

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I very much agree. I was big into rock krawling for about 10 years and my main rig was a 2008 Jeep JKU on 37's and dana 60's powered by a 5.7 hemi. That was a great krawler. The 98 Z71 wil be a whole different beast. Low CG, built to be reliable and drive like a daily driver yet be capable...
