I noticed they’re a complete rarity in this forum!

Same! They’re somewhat new, so maybe it’ll take awhile.

Feels that way. Have either of you installed the upfitter switches? I think thats my next project after installing the tent and awning…

I overland with my Hiker trailer, so it’s mostly my trailer that’s built up. My truck is pretty stock at the moment. I’ve ordered and have things sitting for it, no switches yet.

Thanks! Love the trailer. I thought I would start with the truck first thinking it my be less expensive than trailer….with everything I want…,not so sure. The one thing that was holding me up was having a rack that accommodated a locking tonneau cover.

That’s why I had to go the trailer route. Figured it can be pulled through the trails I want to take my truck. And at a minimum I can have a base camp I don’t have to “pack up” every day. Just remove the hitch and leave.

Defiantly not a lot of Chevys in here. Here's mine. 2019 Z71. Got tired of the stock 20" wheel/tires and ranchos beating us to a pulp. Upgraded suspension parts with plus a
little bit of lift and 35" tires on 17" wheels. Whole different truck.

2” in back about 3-1/2 in front, but I didn’t start with a trail boss, so you have a 2” head start. I used icon adjustable remote res front and rear plus blocks in back. 315 70 17 (35”) on 17” 0 offset. Had to remove the factory little mudflaps and their brackets in front and screw the fender liner out of the way but no rubs!

Just noticed your winch mount. Rough Country? Would like to hear your take on it, as well as the rest of your winch set up. Not much out there for these trucks.
Contributor III
Yep it’s Rough Country. Pretty straight forward install, quality from Rough Country is getting better. I ended up getting a 12000 pound RC winch, just cause I knew it would fit. Problem is there is no RC wireless remote. So you have this huge cable extension to run it into your engine bay..,which is still a pain because you have to open the hood to get to it. There are some aftermarket options that I am looking at. Will post when done. Also, the other issue is that you can get to the winch release ledger to free spool the cable out. You have to do it under power…which is also kind of a pain. The plus is it looks great and it is not heavy enough to bring down the front end..
