NiceI used it for a quick run to the dump. The scale at the exit confirmed my calculations. She's a PIG! lol Stock curb weight is listed at 4,508lbs.
5,320lbs at daily driving weight which includes 200lbs worth of sandbags and 1/4 tank of gas but without the winch.
Then on the way home feeling cool with my new steel bumpers I see this in my rearview. All decked out sporting an Alu Cab or GFC shell tent and Trasharoo and Maxtrax hanging off the back. It was a beast. lol
Memorial Day flash sale at Autoanything made me give in and pull the trigger on a Rhino 270 awning

Is the overland weekend still going on in the Ozarks this weekend with all the flooding?

I have not seen anything saying it’s been canceled. Think I’m just gonna go anyway.

Installed new hinges on the Yukon. Door sagged too much and the pin holes were ovaled out. What a headache. Should've paid someone to do it..lol.

Removed the toolbox so the RPG tent case fits in the bed. Put all the recovery/repair/safety gear in the 4th Plano box. Clothes now go into my old chemical warfare bag.

Took the truck out for the first time this year. Kind of a shakedown test for some new gear in preparation for a 2 week trip I'm taking out to CO (with plenty of stops along the way).

Drove up the mountain with my eldest kiddo to collect firewood for upcoming trips and got to test the Bahco Ergoforce Bow Saw while I was at it:
The saw is highly recommended, btw. It made relatively short work of cutting through that old log. If I had the time, I would have bucked up the whole thing, because the chunk I sawed off split beautifully into nice fire logs. It was so dry I barely touched it with the axe and it split.

Yeah, learned that a little too late. Top of the door doesn't seal correctly either and I'm out of room to adjust. I'm still working through that.

I was told that I had a tail/brake light out when leaving work in the morning. After an 8ish hour nap picked up some LED replacements. 5 minutes with only undoing 2 screws on each side and I now have much better brake lights
Replaced mine on my 2015 SIlverado with LEDs. Replaced the cargo light too and installed a diode that turns the cargo lights on when reversing. Super bright! Way better than factory. Just installed a LED license plate mount back up light. Talk about blinding!
