    Unconventional Winch & attachment design

    I can't remember the post but someone replied with a suggestion to store a winch in the passenger cabin & attach on the front or back bumper as needed. I like this idea because they put salt on the road here in the winter & because that's one less winch to bring & saves weight. If I remember...

    Are you saying that only you & people that eat like you are normal? Talking that way is going to offend someone. Do you mean to refer the Standard American Diet?

    Modifying a pickup to be a SUT

    I completely agree with you. I'm 44 years old but have no experience with vehicles. I was mentioning the above mods because I might want to put a motocross on top of the tonneau cover. I see from others' replies as well as yours, that these mods are expensive as well as a big gamble. Thank you

    Chevy vs Ford vs Toyota pickup

    I heard that Rams run great until they break then they break catastrophically. I only heard this from 1 mechanic so I guess you disagree right? I would also like to ask you what you think of "Chevy as in are they also easy to work on?"

    Modifying a pickup to be a SUT

    I love the Avalanche for its ability to switch between long bed & crew cab. I also liked it because being GMC it should be easy to work on. I don't like that if I have the backseat down & converted to a long bed the whole truck is unsecured & the passenger cabin is exposed to the elements Any...

    The last mentioned mod would be to make the bed compatible with a RSI smart cap or black diamond tonneau cover. Judging by your reply this is either difficult to make both sides the same or compromises the structural integrity.

    Modifying a pickup to be a SUT

    So what if I removed the sails & then cut the body of the Avalanche to force the bed & body to be 90°? Or is that little bit of metal structural?
