Newbie from western Oregon

[spfd jason]

Quick "Hey" from western Oregon. Hoping to learn a bunch so I won't over extend my truck's current capabilities. And learn some good "tricks of the trade", so to speak. We have a 2011 GMC Sierra 2500HD with stock drivetrain components. A/T tires at 50% tread life.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason, welcome to the OB community from Grants Pass.

Thanks for all the replies and welcomes. Looks like we're headed to Death Valley in March. Info posted on another thread in General. I have the "green light" to round out the kit. Can't spend a fortune so going Amazon route. Any brands to avoid?
