2017 Silver Bullet ZR2

[NathanPAnderson]

Hey all. Thought I would start a historical build thread since I’ve had the truck for over two years now. Then I’ll try my best to keep it updated. Here goes!

Purchase day! The Silver Bullet is a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Crew Cab 4WD in Silver Ice Metallic.

I tried this bed tent for camping on a few trips. It was decent, just flimsy and a hassle to put together. Also had to take everything out of the bed and use an air mattress.

Raised up the bed crossbars so that I can fit my fridge in the bed underneath the tent, freeing up room in the cab.

Thats pretty much it right now. Planning a few more things this summer but I have some body damage to take care of before any more upgrades.
