Gas vs Diesel This was one of the main conflicts I had going through my mind once I had narrowed it down to me getting a Colorado. Gas or Diesel? At the end of the day I rarely tow and when I do it is usually less than 4k lbs and near sea level... not in the Rockies. I like to accelerate...

Super Charger It looks like Edelbrock will soon be offering a super charger for the Chevy Colorado and Camaro (same engine)! 340 Wheel HP = Drastically higher than the stock 308hp @ the flywheel. So it is like throwing in a V8 Just a simple bolt on kit. Awesome. I will never do this but good...

Best Trailer Width Now this is obviously just IMO. The width of my enclosed cargo trailer is 6' x 12'. It is a V-Nose so it is really around 15' @ the tip of the point. Anyways, I do not feel the need for tow mirrors at all with my current or prior 1st Gen Colorado while I tow it. It is about...

Most of the trucks I have owned were just 2wd with the auto locker in the rear. Nothing wrong with that. Less maintenance, cheaper insurance, better fuel economy, usually higher payload and towing, and do just fine in snow less than 1ft deep (super flat terrain where I live) and flooded roads...

Today I replaced the damaged seal on my driver door from the person who decided it looked like a good thing to shove a metal rod through. I then put on some vent visors. They make it possible to leave the windows cracked during the rain when on the trail to listen out for trail rubs and guide...

It appears I was taught wrong about Nitrogen shocks. Thank you! So are you saying Nitrogen shocks are able to keep cooler by keeping the bubbles out if the fluid? (Slow learner here lol) That is more of a weight difference than I realized when jumping up in tire size! Good info. Thank you...

Un-Sprung Weight Here are a few more vids I just found on controlling weight. However, these are more about un-sprung weight and what it can do to your suspension on a long bumpy road. So things like larger and heavier tires, or the solid axles most of us have in at least the rear, not airing...

Yes it does for sure! Here are a few more vids I just found on this same subject as well. However, these are more about un-sprung weight and what it can do to your suspension on a long bumpy road. So things like larger and heavier tires, or the solid axles most of us have in at least the...

I am officially and OB member now! Member # 15745 I went to the dealer earlier. Put a new window seal on order for the truck. Someone tried to break into my truck about a month after I bought it. The put a large hold through all of the seals on my Driver door window and a hole through the door...

Thank You Everyone! Glad to be here for real now. lol Just started surfing around the member map and saw that there are a much larger amount of members in my area than I would have thought! Also, it appears that my software is all up to date. Lowered the security settings on Internet Explorer...

Just realized that it is actually Microsoft Edge... and Internet Explorer. Not two versions of the same thing. My member # is 15745

I used Google Chrome on the Apple. Worked perfectly. I suppose I am the newest member now. lol I would like to straighten it out though. I may want to buy a hat later on... and it would be a peace of mind for you guys as well. I will keep playing with my computer now for a few. Let me see...

I just tried again on both the new and old internet explorer browsers. ( I have both for work) I am @ the in-laws house now. Let me try it on their Apple....

Yes. I am using Internet Explorer. It has been a good 36hrs since I last tried. Let me try again...

Real World Bison Test Run... This video just came out this morning. I just want to share. Saw both sliders and the front bumper get tagged at least once during this vid. I really hope the skids are reasonably priced when they become available via aftermarket next month or so! If nothing else...

They do seem NICE. Lil B's bumper weighs in @ only 65lbs. (EDIT: just talked with a guy. They are really 100lbs or so. The website needs an update. The bars on that bumper are super heavy duty.) Maybe one day after I accidentally rip off or crush my old bumper. lol ($1500)...

Here are some picks of one of my favorite Z71 Colorado builds and a link. Looks real nice! Simple and effective... https://www.coloradofans.com/forums/265-2nd-gen-colorado-canyon-builds/334657-maxwell_hau5_caffy-s-off-road-build.html

I may very well be throwing one of those into my truck one day! We shall see. One of my co-workers just got a 4Runner TRD Pro. He is originally from Colorado. Started a text string with him yesterday. Turns out he is VERY interested in doing a trip to one of the trails I listed to him during...

Good Day Everyone I have tried to make the purchase on both new and old internet browsers(Windows). I cannot put any of the available membership levels (almost called them trim levels! lol) into my basket for purchase. I already set myself up and signed in for the store page. Is there...
