    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Picking it up from here,......AT's or Muds? I switched from KO2 (BFG). to the Toyo AT's, both for price and a possible better overall mileage....50k?. The best I ever got with the BFG's was about 45K, with religious balancing/rotation/ psi checks. My average mileage top-out was around 42K. I...

    US West Las Vegas OB Members- Titus Canyon trip

    FYI: Sometimes the fuel pumps get busy at the Rebel in Beatty in the morning. As an alternate, you could top-off at the Fuel station/Brothel (US-95) at Armagosa Jct, on your way north. It is only approx 30 miles or so south of Beatty + the 6 miles to the Titus trail head.

    US West Las Vegas OB Members- Titus Canyon trip

    Thanks for the invite, but my truck needs some TLC. I will have to pass on it. Nice area history. The old RR grade from Beatty to Ryolite has some good dispersed spots off the 374. I thought that Titus canyon was a 1 way road after 1-2 miles in?.....I might be mistaken. Also.... Maybe the...

    Gazelle Tent

    You can buy aluminum sheet stock and have a custom/industrial shop put the necessary bends in it. They also could have strap/hook cut-outs put in it also for tie-down points. Either paint the base sheet or purchase one already coated in black paint. The cradle does seem like a innovative...

    Power Wagon rock rails/sliders

    Thank you for the heads up. I looked a couple of years ago about them, liked what I saw, but they did not offer a set for the 'classic' trucks (2001-2006.5) at the time(GM). It is nice to know they are available now, and are a REAL slider. The Silverado thread would probably love to hear...

    ORCISH Gen4 recovery boards

    Your expieriance with them is reassuring. As I bought the Orcish brand also. My purchase was based on the video of the forklift running over them multiple times, and only bending/flexing from the abuse. It was the ability to retain their integrity that prompted me to buy them. I 'HOPED'...
