Just a little accessory update.
Lights are on and bought some green covers for fun, purchased some jam handles. I bought the jam handles before I put about 100 pin stripes down the sides of my new truck... haha but oh well I still put them on. I have a trip November 4-5 planned for buttermilk...
this is the mount I have the d series http://zroadz.com/index.php/product/hood-hinges-led-light-mounts-chevrolet-silverado-1500_2014-2017/
Works really well and I still have plenty clearance when the hood is open and it doesnt hit the antenna.
I think I'll be in the same boat. Once I need new tires I hopefully will find slightly larger ones that will fit. Beadlock probably won't be needed since I'm not doing anything too extreme.

I'll keep all this in mind! Thanks! I started a topic with some photos! I drive in to San Francisco so much I don't think I could do a roof mount. What distance might you expect from a 2-3ft antenna mounted on the bed? I def don't need to max the distance out, really on expecting to talk with...
Thanks! im slowly realizing that full size rigs are for sure the minority and all the cool accessories are made for jeeps and tacomas! haha but we cant let them have all the fun! Tahoe has been amazing, been here for the last year but this last winter took a toll! ha
-Decent CB Radio set up
-Maybe a winch and bumper, (if I can find one that doesnt look like im caring another living quarters on the front bumper...)
-larger tires if I can fit them and beadlock rims, currently have a 2.5" level
-Water storage
-ARB compressor... one day
-Decked truck bed storage...
Hey all, would love any advise as I am a new OB member just getting into things. I have a 2017 silverado 1500 with a Z71 805 offroad edition. I have leveled the truck and put on a rigid sr 10" in the grill and dually midnight on the hood mounts. I currently have a tentsile tent as my main...
I have a 2.5" level on mine and still have the stock AT tires on. Im hoping with the level ill eventually be able to fit a little larger tire once I wear these ones down. Maybe spring for some bead lock rims!
Hey love the build thus far! im new to OB and a new owner of a 2017 silverado that I hope one day will be a nice overlanding rig. I think I noticed a CB antenna on the truck bed. I think that is my next purchase. any suggestions on antenna mounts and or inside cab box mounts?
Good to know. I might have to go with the viair 400p or something close to that. more than $100 but sounds like it can do the job. (ill use it maybe once a month)
Hey all, New member but I was wondering where I might find more info on OFT 2017 at the end of this month? Live in Truckee CA and im slowing adding parts to my rig. Is there a secured date and place? is this ticketed? best to all. J
Update: Found the page, looks amazing but the dates messed me...
There are so many portable compressors out there, and until I have real money to buy a proper one, Im looking for something under $100. Any suggestions? I will not be using it a lot but the few times I do, I want it to at least work.
