    MOJAVE TRAIL CHRISTMAS 2019

    So we'll also be headed out to the Road close to New Years with a group of 5 rigs. I'm curious whether or not Caruther's Canyon is a viable spot to camp on the first night if you stop at both Fort Piute and Picture Canyon (doing the shorter 2 miles hike)...if you're starting from the Colorado...

    2017 Silverado 1500 Z71 new build

    I am----but not in Black Betty. I traded her awhile back for a Jeep...which I quickly relinquished to my wife (trading Betty was a mistake) and drive a 4Runner TRD ORP ("Betty White"). I'll be in the Patriot Campers group camping spot...come by and say hello!

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    It's definitely on my mind, for sure.

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Load capacity, mileage and range are all things my Silverado are pretty good at given her size. Fulled loaded I can get anywhere from 12-15 MPG (including having items strapped on top). Turning radius is pretty bad though...and pinstripes are definitely a thing. In my case...about $1000 to...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Thank you guys for the compliments! Now I just need to figure out whether she's worth going all in with.

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Honestly Raul...your rig was the biggest inspiration that building out my rig wasn't a folly going back to early last year.

    Cooler vs Fridge: Which is right for you?

    Just got back from maiden trip with an ARB fridge. It's a game changer. Yeti's are amazing for what they do...but at the end of the day they still will have ice melt that will get your food soggy in a matter of a day or two. Having the fridge for all of our cold food items and my Yeti for...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Hi guys. Random thought...but as I consider more overlanding equipement investments into my 2016 Silverado...I wonder why the universe of Silverado's being used in this capacity is so small? I've had a few trips in mine now and there are a few things that come to mind, in terms of limitations...

    2017 Silverado 1500 Z71 new build

    Dude, the three of us need to all link up at an event sometime. We'd blow people's minds with three overloading Silverado's haha. I'm torn on my 6" lift. The clearance is great but the mileage definitely sucks. However, I do like my 35" tires (soon to be put to the test at Big Bend Ranch SP...

    What is your rigs name

    Black Betty...considering her ample dimensions in the back this seemed like the only name that fit. They even wrote a catchy song about her.

    2016 Tuscany Silverado Z71 'Black Betty' with a pretty decent list of suspension modifications. She's a little big for Jeep trails but I've yet to find a place I wanted to go she couldn't take me, the fam and about 1200 pounds of gear. #TeamFullsize

    Uh...sorry about the size. It was the only way Black Betty would all fit on the page. lol

    2017 Silverado 1500 Z71 new build

    Sure thing man! There's one other Chevy guy close by here in DFW---maybe we can all convene out in NM sometime. 33" should be fine although I think my buddy here in DFW had 33" and went up to 35"...certainly good for the ground clearance. The KO2's are terrific...great performance both on and...
