    2006 GMC Sierra aka “granopy”

    Headed up to go find a creek to sit by in the snow have a fire and enjoy a couple hours of peace and quiet. In my laziness because we weren’t driving that far off of a plowed road I did not air down which was a huge mistake ended up taking an hour and a half to shovel outs of this horrible...

    Bolts are not coming loose...

    Swing by a fab shop and just have them plasma the bolts off and replace them

    2006 GMC Sierra aka “granopy”

    Actually that’s the reason I pulled the canopy off I had to go get some bark dust

    2006 GMC Sierra aka “granopy”

    I gotta admit I like the truck better without the canopy , might have to get a soft topper that way I’ll have the best of both worlds plus they make a nifty tent attachment for it

    2006 GMC Sierra aka “granopy”

    i was actually rather set on selling the truck and buying a new midsize but call me cheap or whatever but 35-45k is just a lot of money . So I figure it’s better to just upgrade the things I don’t like about the truck and keep it . Even if I dumped 10k into it with repairs and upgrades including...

    Question about tires.

    I had fantastic luck with the cooper discover at3-4s , whisper quiet on the highway, 3peak rated and worked wonderfully in the ice . St maxx works great in the snow , tuff sidewalls do need to be aired down a bit more than normal started to get noisy as they wear .

    Question about tires.

    I guess as with all things it depends on where you go , I have the opposite thought unless it’s a trail rig avoid MT tires at all costs and stick with AT tires . This is why asking what tires to buy would be like asking a group of people what pizza you should eat everybody like something...

    Question about tires.

    Tread pattern has a lot to do with what you want out of the tire , more off-road , more street manners , tire noise , terrain you will encounter ect ect ect . As far as size well that’s all debatable and dependent on the tire itself( not all tires of the same size are actually the same size ...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    The snow and ice decided I needed a mud flap . At one point it was dragging on the ground along with all the ice that had built up on the steps .

    Usually during winter weather I try helping every person I come across but I was just way to busy with work , I’m in the floral industry and it was right before Valentine’s Day. But I still managed to help some with Moving 4 trees off the road Pulling out a truck and trailer 3 Subarus 2...

    2006 GMC Sierra aka “granopy”

    The suspension maxx keys where worth every penny , the ride is so much better and the hight is perfect . I am beyond impressed with the Kenda cleavers in snow and ice . Air down to 20 psi they absolutely helped soak up the horribly rugged roads we’ve had during the storm in Oregon, I honestly...
