Anybody running a rig that's a little out of the "norm"? I have a 2015 Silverado that I'm wanting to turn into an overland rig and still use as my daily driver. Anybody have anything similar and care to share some build tips?

Im on the same boat but have thought about a one piece bed rack, will only use it when i need it and in the meantime will have it on a hoist in the garage.

Rack will have led light bar, sides will hold water containers, shovel, gasoline tank

No drawer system in the bed so i can still load stuff in the back.

Truck will have an onboard air compressor and tank somewhere in the fenders of the bed.

I got the pro eagle jack under the seat, no hi lift

Im running go rhino rb10 running boards but i had them welded to the chasiss as rock sliders

Im also running bajakits prerunner kit with king shocks which gives me 12" of travel while keeping the 4x4

In the rear i also have kings, bajakits shackles and deaver u182 leaf springs.

35" toyo rt on methods (do plan on switching to forged beadlocks)

Lmk if you come up with some ideas as well
