Always great to see a fellow Silverado owner. I have a 99 with a tonneau cover. I’m planning on putting a small lift kit on, installing a new ham and can radio set. Since I won’t be taking it anywhere really crazy I’m leaving the 265/75/16’s on it. One thing I would suggest is rockers to protect the doors as well as a better skid plate or two.

I’m currently trying to figure out a drawer system for the bed of the truck. I’d like to make a pull out kitchen on one side and a pull out storage for gear on the other side.

Plenty of options to do to your truck however. Do you do any fishing / hunting/ mountain biking / canoeing?

I do go fishing and sometimes some kayaking but I do alot of camping

One thing I’d like to do is figure out how to get my canoe to sit up on top of the Silverado. With the tonneau cover it obviously isn’t equal height along the entire length of the truck.

I'm planning on getting the roof rack set up from a avalanche or crew cab silverados and shorten it down to fit the extendrd cab

Mine is an extended cab too. What would you have to do to install it onto the roof? Drill through the cab?
