Well, things are about to get more interesting. Pulled the trigger on the BajaKits 4WD prerunner kit today! Excited to get it all together, now I just need to figure the rest of the set up out. Hoping to get the suspension work completed for a trip down to Utah later in the spring, but well see...
Nice! Been a long time since Ive been up that way, but I really love that country. I would love to do a long road trip up that way sometime, just need to find the time I guess...
Thanks, glad you like it! What part of Alaska did you move to? Would love to get up there, have family on the Kenai that I need to visit and use as a good excuse for a trip up that way.
Love the rig, pretty much the exact setup I have been thinking of! Thanks for the info, that's kind of what I am expecting, think Im just getting a little nervous pulling the trigger... I am planning to do the shackles and new springs as well. Did the new leafs add any lift in the rear?
Well its been a little while since I've done much on the rig. Been spending most of my time skiing and without a garage to work in, the winter isn't exactly the time to get things done for me... I am starting to think about the next steps though. Starting to look more seriously into options...
Here are some more recent photos of the rig from around the house and a few short overnight trips. Also got my small Snowmaster fridge, only have used it for one quick overnight trip, and it was pretty cold so I haven'y really gotten to test it out yet.
A few bad dusk phone pictures from...
Beautiful rig! Very similar set up to what I hope to do with my Silverado eventually if I can get the funds put together... Definitely going to be following to see what you do with it!
Couple weeks later took a labor day trip up into the Tobacco Roots and explored some new terrain. Ended up setting up camp a little lower than planned, but ended up with a great spot and had a great weekend relaxing, swimming in mountain lakes, and climbing a peak.
I think we eat better at...
Setting up camp, ended up with a decent place considering the crowds...
Exploring up towards Union Peak.

Getting some Paella going in the cast iron skillet.
Well, haven't really gotten anything else done to the Raven since putting the console together. Been busy with work and getting out and exploring with the rig. Still have the solar panel waiting in the wings. Next up though I need to do a little clean up with the console wiring, also want to...
Love the rig, always good to see more full sizes/chevys on the site! Have you used the tent/rack set up much yet? I have thought about going that route, but right now I am quite happy with the "stealth" topper setup I've been running. Have loved my slimline rack so far though, seems versatile...
Another Silverado here! I have been running the Slimline for a couple years now. I haven't used it extensively, but it has worked great for what I wanted. It has great attachment options, and it is low profile which was pretty much my top priority. The guys over at Frontrunner are great to...
Took a lot longer than I had planned/hoped, but finally got the dual battery setup all together and running. Have a little wiring clean up to do, but it is all ready for the solar panel now. Haven't really tested it out, but have had a weekend camping trip with it and it worked as expected...
Thanks for the info, that makes sense. Would an Optima Yellow top need equalization? I will look into the solar controller some more and see what I can do, I know I can at least manually select the battery type. Ideally I can just turn off the equalization though.
That makes sense about the...
Finally getting moving on the dual battery set up, didn't get as much done this weekend as I had been hoping, but its starting to come together. Have an optima yellow top in for the auxiliary battery and have some custom fuse and relay mounting brackets ready to go. Finished up the control...
