    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    The F250 Tremor is a great option for those who want a big truck that is also capable. The Tremor package for that truck is very configurable. Unfortunately, for those of us who prefer a moderate sized truck like an F150, the Tremor is locked to only one body style and one engine option. You...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I've been looking at either a F-150 or Nissan Frontier. The availability of off-road stuff is ridiculous. Yes, you can get a "single cab". But neither truck really offers the GOOD stuff from the factory in single cab. On the F-150 the "Tremor" caught my eye. Problem is, it is only available in...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I have a Detroit True Trac in my Nissan Titan 4x4. I highly recommend it! Just came back from an off-roading trip in Arizona, one trail we went on is a 12 mile long Jeep/ATV "Moderate" trail and pretty much did 75% of it in 2WD. Only needed 4LO to smooth out the climbs steep stuff, I probably...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Speaking of the wussification of modern GM SUVs, check out this video of the 2021 Tahoe Z71 getting stuck (at 7:00) in front of a Prius (the Prius is seen about a minute earlier): 7:00 pretty pathetic! GM can't be bothered to put the good 'ol G80 into their new mall crawlers

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I had Toyo MT's. The local Les Schwab tire chain had the Toyo brand as an exclusive until recently. Les Schwab wanted almost 2x more for new Toyo MT's as Discount Tire wanted for KO2's. These days Discount now carries Toyo. I also had a more favorable impression of the Toyo MT's. When I first...

    Ditch Light

    We have a 2020 Corolla with LED headlights. I hate them, they are not bright at all. My older cars with HIDs have much better headlights, broader beams of white light. The Corolla seems to have no distance and the light is too "purple" in tone. Rain makes them seem useless. I highly doubt they...

    Ditch Light

    It's all in the beam pattern. OEM headlights must pass strict testing, so they try and get as much light onto the road as possible, without wasting it and glaring oncoming drivers. Off-road lights NEVER get that kind of $$$ investment, even "SAE" lights. Off-road lights need to be useful...

    I ordered a new vehicle and all I got was a hat

    I've been eyeing a 2 door Bronco. Really too bad about the delays, I think Ford is trying it's hardest to deal with 'rona issues and getting the new F-150 out to market.

    Ditch Light

    There are many people who have the sentiment of "fog lights should only be used during certain circumstances!!!!" But, I use mine all the time, and it infuriates those people (online forums). Fog lights, when done properly, will always be below the driving beams. My Q60 utilizes LED fogs, and as...

    Ditch Light

    I wish everyone knew this. Every early morning (basically night time) I have to deal with people who feel it is OK to run aftermarket HIDs, LEDs and/or light bars on their vehicles in the dark (worst offenders are Jeeps and FS Trucks). And this is on dark, wet, unlit, curvy, hilly 2-lane roads...

    Ditch Light

    I have a Nissan Titan that has a really bad "blind spot" when turning at night. I have owned cars in the past that had the "corner illuminating" lights, the best was my 2016 GTI. I really wanted to add this to my Titan, but it is technically difficult to do. Just like your Tundra, the Titan uses...

    Ditch Light

    I would say that "diffuse" and "flood" are the same term. And yes, either one is great for when you are off-road and giving a wide-area amount of light. Just be sure that there is enough light, as diffuse/flood setups require a much stronger light source to create lots of usable light. Mounting...

    Congratulations on the Bronco, they are sooo nice. 2 or 4 door?

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I hope the KO2s do indeed have short tread life, so I can justify going back to Toyo's sooner than later. I really miss my Toyos!

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Sounds like the Seattle-metro area. Sometimes, I even have trouble parking my wife's new Corolla Hatchback! The parking spots here are ridiculous. I kind of enjoy cramming a full-size 4x4 crew cab into a "compact" spot!

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    That's what I like to see! I have a few co-workers with Tacos' and 4Runners all pretty with RTT, shiny, powder-coated bits and parts all over that won't off-road their rigs. I treat my truck like it's going to end up recycled into a can of beans someday. Use it to clear overgrown trails and push...

    Nissan FS vs Toyota FS why is Toyota preferred?

    Hopefully the 10.5 makes it to the Gen3 Tundra

    Nissan FS vs Toyota FS why is Toyota preferred?

    I think it's beginning to get a bit more "clear" to me. Out of the factory, a Tundra isn't any better than a Titan. However, it seems there is much more aftermarket support, especially in the suspension department. A big hang up for me, you have a fancy suspension and all, but why doesn't...

    Something different. Let’s talk music.

    1) I love paid Pandora, so I have a few playlists: -"Dale Watson" which is basically "Outlaw Country" -"Primus" which includes heavy amounts of Puscifer, some 9 inch nails, etc -Best of the 80's So, for "1)" that is something my entire family can agree on. 2) turn off the music because I am...
