in july 2015 i bought a brand spanking new chevy colorado z71 ext cab, with absolutely no intention of doing more than a 2" level and bigger tires. Certainly no plans of overlanding or wheeling it.
Oh how time has changed, starting with that 2" level from rough country i bought a set of kumho road venture at51's didnt like the way it sat so i put in a rear block. It sat like that for almost a year, until i found this site. The build had taken a turn at that point ordering a light bar for the grille, and ditch lights for even more remote back country vision. A 1.25 body lift (taboo i know) to attempt to clear 33's, biggest i could fit was a falken at3w at 32" due to my Bora spacers. Didnt take long after my first extended trip with 2 fellow OB members that i learned new shocks would be next on my list, much thought went into this. I flipped back and forth between bilstein, rancho and pro comp well, i am pleased to announce that i have purchased Fox 2.0 performance series IFP coil overs for the front and fox 2.0's for the rear, they should be on the truck within a couple of weeks!
On the interior i kept it very simple, regular 2 way radio (cb maybe in the future) and a cup holder mount for my ipad to act as GPS along with an old garmin nuvi, and of course paper maps.
Overall, im thrilled with this truck. aside from a couple small teething issues being a first year model its been awesome, cant wait to see what the fox shocks do to this thing!
