been on here for a couple months but haven't really gotten around to a full introduction. Ive been wanting to get into it for a while and trying to get the wife and kids into it as well. its pretty flat and boring around here and have to drive at least a couple hours in any direction to get to any kind of trails, but we farm and have some wooded areas I can test a little and play in. I've got a '17 silverado cc 6.5' bed that I have been setting up as the road trip vehichle and getting it the way I want it. added the decked drawer system after I got it, and added the topper a couple months later. have power ran to a switch panel in the toolbox portion and built a drawer slide for the cooler/fridge. running 33" ko2's with bilstein 5100s at about 2" of lift.



on the list for this summer is some more lighting and replacing the ladder bars with a unistrut platform.

Mike, welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State!, nice looking truck, looks like you are off to a good start with your build. Plenty of helpful folks on these forums to bounce ideas off of as you move forward.
