Anybody have experience using a drone in the mountains? A buddy of mine is looking for a reasonably priced drone that will work on his claims around 10,000 feet. He had a cheapo that would only hover about a foot off the ground up there. Most of the ones I've seen with that kind of altitude...

Hey all, I have a 2017 Silverado double cab, and have been wracking my brain trying to decide what to do about my backseat storage. I want to pull the seat out and install an ARB fridge, electrical distribution/inverter, and also just some type of storage (shelves, drawers, etc.). I'm not a...

Couldn't decide where to put mine on. So I just put it on in Arapaho National Forest.

Installed a battery isolator, auxiliary battery, and light bar. Next up will be removing the back seat and installing electrical distribution, fridge, and drawers in its place.

Well, I picked up a cheapo light bar from Amazon. Siliconed the shit out of it. If it lasts me the season, I'll be happy with it, given the $25 price tag. If it fails or gets stolen, I can easily swap it out since the wiring is already run.

Have you ever tried to seal one of the cheap light bars with some silicone or something. That is my main concern with the cheap ones. Of course, everyone would probably like a super nice light bar, but I'd probably get a cheap one for now if I wasnt concerned with immediate leak problems.

Hey everyone, I'm planning to invest in a light bar (20", nothing crazy) in the near future, and I'm concerned about it getting swiped. I park on the street, and while I've never had anything stolen off my truck before, I *have* had things stolen out of it. Even though it's only a 20" bar, it...

Well, perhaps I will reconsider the roof mount then. Mounting on the grille guard *would* be much easier. My thinking was more ground clearance = better performance at long distance. But I don't really need to see that far, just more clearly.

I didn't treat them at all. May have to look into that.

The rims are Ultra Type 164 I picked up from customwheeloffset dot com (Custom Offsets). Their shipping FAQ says they ship anywhere in the world.

Nice rig!

Thanks! I've never seen limb risers on a Silverado either. I think they would be helpful, assuming you can make them tight enough and aren't flying through the branches. But you're probably right, they won't be as effective as on a vehicle with more of a right angle in front. Put it this way...

Hey, thanks for the ideas! I did get a folding saw after my experience last year. In retrospect though, I should have gone with the "reevaluate your trail plans" option. Experience probably would've told me that the trail was obviously too overgrown, but I was pretty well lacking in experience...

Took the truck out for the first time this year. Kind of a shakedown test for some new gear in preparation for a 2 week trip I'm taking out to CO (with plenty of stops along the way).

Depends on what you mean by huge, but I have Better Habitat foam mattress from Amazon that I apparently can’t post a link to here. It’s kinda bulky but comes in a bag which makes storage a little easier. It’s a bit spendy too, but very comfortable. Perfect for the back of my truck anyway.

Has anyone else done the UCO Candlelier conversion to oil lamps? I tested mine out last weekend and had some issues with soot and flame coming from vent holes. I have no experience with oil lamps, but thought I had it figured out. It’s possible the yarn I used for wicking is no good, or wick...

Nevermind, I'm probably just overthinking this.

Hey All, I'm planning a trip this summer up in the Rockies where it gets pretty cool at night, so I decided to do a couple simple upgrades to try and stop at least a little of the heat escaping my camper shell. One of those things is adding some reflectix window covers, which I realize will...

This is awesome information! Thank you all so much!

Hey All, I'm working on upgrading my truck for next season, and I've gotten in kind of a quandary. As a background, I have a Silverado 1500 with a camper shell/bed cap (whatever you want to call it) that I've added a sleeping/storage platform to. I don't plan on taking my rig on any rock...
