    Tire size, wheel Size & Regearing

    Great advice! And keep a pair of warm heavy duty gloves with them so they never get separated. Fighting chains in freezing temps with wet hands is no fun and can lead to cuts and or dangerous situations if you start rushing to try and get out of the cold because your hands are numb.

    Tire size, wheel Size & Regearing

    Drive slow and anticipate the actions of other drivers. Keep it in Auto4wd when there is snow on the road and don't make any abrupt steering movements or quick braking. Keep your family updated with your locations. Ohh and bring extra snacks, water and warm clothing plus a sleeping bag. Try to...

    Fitting 35"s on a Silverado

    Can you ditch the blocks and use lift shackles? That's what I did on my Canyon. I don't like using blocks over 1.5". Keep up the great work on the channel!

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I think you made a good choice. So far these are louder than my Wildpeaks and honestly more tire than is needed for most overlanding trails. I have delusional episodes of rock crawling so I wanted more protection. Merry Christmas to you as well, my friend.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Thank, Jim! The wheels are not new. I've had them since the beginning of the year. They are 17x9s which is perfect for a 285 or 295. I went with the Milestar Patagonia M/T. I needed something more aggressive with a 3ply sidewall so I sold my Wildpeak AT3W while they were still worth a good amount.

    Installed a new set of shoes on baby girl. :) I'll get more pictures when the tire mould release film wears off. They're looking pretty ashy right now. lol In the bay at America's Tire.

    Roof Top tent removal

    I just slide mine backwards and let the end slide down off the rack and onto the tailgate. From there I hop down to the ground and pull it towards me and guide the top so it flips over and I lower it to the ground to rest on a big piece of cardboard. Then I lean it against the wall in the...

    Tire size, wheel Size & Regearing

    I honestly don't remember. It was a Z71 but had cloth interior so it wasn't fully loaded. I don't even remember if it had the G80. I just remember the sound it made when smoking Mustangs and Subaru STis at the strip or stop lights. :tearsofjoy:

    What's your MPG (fuel economy) on the road.

    Loaded down for off-road camping trips I average 18-21mpg (per tank) getting to the trail. Around town and trail driving it drops considerably and I may only get 14-16mpg per tank. Daily driving average is 16-18mpg. I have stock 3.42 gears and heavy 33" tires so I often don't get into my top 2...

    Then you should have ridden in it with the twins up front. Over 700rwtq. Just stupid. lol Mine had 3.73s so there's a good chance @Amanda C does too. Honestly don't overthink this. Follow @rho advice and you'll be fine. She knows her stuff.

    Tire size, wheel Size & Regearing

    Ohh and don't forget the Sierra has Auto4wd. You can run it in Auto4wd (AutoTrac) any time unlike regular 4wd and you won't get steering bind. The drivetrain will run in 2wd until it senses wheel slip up front then it will act like 4wd/AWD. This is a huge help when driving in bad weather and 4wd...

    Aye, I beat on my '01 Sierra Z71 5.3L and it was tough as nails. Even with a turbo. :smilingimp:
