My 2013 Silverado is getting a little long in the tooth, and the road trip I took up to Alaska a while back did no favors to its stock suspension. I've already spent a lot of $$$ repairing the more serious damage, but it's developing new issues. I love my truck, but I don't want to continue...

Welcome to the party. I'm just a couple of hours south of you in ABQ.

I don't know anything about the Jeep, but I have been researching the Colorado a bit (I'm considering trading my Silverado in on a Bison). If all you want is the DSSV shocks, they are standard on the ZR2. The big adds on the Bison are the front and rear bumpers and the boron steel skid plates...

Lets see your rig with a roof top tent or camper shell

What is this? It looks like an F-16, but a variant I'm not familiar with.

Who remembers the '93 Harrison Ford movie The Fugitive? When they shot the scene where the bus gets T-boned by the train, they did it for real. And then they just left everything where it was. This is what it looks like now, 25 years later. My rig parked next to a 1941 Chevy 3100 work truck...

Nice. How does it handle on road? Is there a lot of body roll?

Ahh yes, it always comes down to the all mighty dollar, doesn't it? I hadn't even considered a mid-travel kit for my truck until I saw you mention it. I'm looking forward to reading about your experiences with installing your BajaKits setup, and how it performs. P.S. Next time you're down south...

Great pics, looks like you guys had an awesome trip. Southern Utah is one of my favorite places in the US, it's so damn beautiful. One question, why did you decide to go with a mid-travel suspension and not a long travel suspension? I did a trip to Alaska over the summer and it shined a big...

I left in late July and got back to ABQ at the end of August. I really didn't have a plan, other than to get to Prudhoe Bay. For camping spots, I used iOverlander to find free spots near me. Fuel wasn't an issue. The longest stint between fuel stops was heading north through Youkon. It was...

It's been an expensive week at the twiget household. Over the summer I took a 5 week, 10,000 mile road trip from Albuquerque NM to Prudhoe Bay AK. Around 1,500 miles of that was not on pavement, and it beat the hell out of my truck's suspension. I've been out of town a lot between then and now...

Welcome to the Land Of Enchantment. What part of NM did you move too? I'm in Albuquerque.

Thanks. It's not the first time I've driven (or even ridden a bike) from Sea to Shining Sea, but it is definitely the first time I've taken a month to do it! I just finished up my trip to Alaska, pics will be coming in the next few days. Stay tuned!

My Silverado's name is Freddy. Long story short, there has been a lot of drama associated with my truck and my Mom suggested I call him the Drama Queen which was quickly shortened to Queen. I vetoed because all my trucks have had guy names and referring to my masculine truck as a queen... Well...

I'm finishing up a trip to Alaska right now, and on my way south to the Lower 48, I'm going to be passing through the Vancouver area. I've been to Vancouver and Victoria before, so I don't have any overwhelming need to spend much time in either city. I'm more interested in places, and trails...

Well that didn't work as planned. Here's the link to the pics again: https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/index.php?posts/138600

I did day 1 & 2 of the WABDR in my Silverado with out any issues. Day was cut short because of a landslide. Nothing larger than a motorcycle was going to get past the landslide. You can see my pics from the WABDR HERE I'm in Alaska right now, but I'm planning on doing days 5 & 4 on my way back...

After crossing in to Colorado I decided to tackle Engineer Pass. The eastern side of Engineer Pass was actually pretty easy. The road was in pretty good condition and the switchbacks were big enough that I didn’t have to do a 3-point turn to make them. Going down the western side was a whole...

Glad to have you along @wrmmt. I agree it's definitely time to show people what a full size can do.

I had considered bed liner, but it's heavy. I suppose I could do a hybrid type of thing. Do the leading edge of the hood in bed liner and the rest in vinyl or PlastiKote. It will take some thinking about. Looking good! I like the vinyl covering the whole hood. Your grandson looks like he...
