@@TaylorGibleroffroad The 4x4 Colorado team is amazing as well. That must be a prerequisite for selling these tents. lol I just dragged my tent all through Colorado (Pueblo to 4 Corners and back) and the tent was a beast. Kudos on your perfect choice. Now to dig into your video library but, before that, you have the stock mattress in? If so, I am curious if you are using down bags/blanket or, what exactly, you are able to store inside when it is closed up. Asking because I had the upgraded mattress and it takes up all the space making it harder to close but giving 4 inches of foam. We stored two sleeping bags, one down camping blanket and two pillows in the truck since they wouldn't fit in the tent w/the upgraded mattress.
@TaylorGibleroffroad3 ай бұрын
Okay that’s interesting! 4” of mattress!! Ya know, for us, we’re on the road so much. Storing pillows and sleeping bags in the tent were a necessity.

I’m going to watch the rest of this. I’m sure it’ll be great footage and I’ll probably end up doing the same trip if I’m fortunate enough. But I must say that the casual and excessive use of words like “explore” and “conquer” by us overlanders when traveling WELL TRODDEN and maintained roads with satellite maps and tons of info ahead of time just doesn’t sit well with me. We’re not exactly James Cameron exploring the deepest part of the ocean or Neil Armstrong or the first Polynesians sailing to Hawai’i. Maybe we can just turn down our grandiose language a notch or two. Your life you do what you want with it, obviously. But there is a comment section and all engagement is good for the channel right?

Apartment dwellers in Chicago, poor in many many countries.

We live in the mountains 5 miles SW of Cashmere. Nine families live on our private road and all 9 of us own a large part of a mountain between 2 canyons. We’ve made hiking and quad trails on our mountain. If you’re not an owner or have permission from an owner, you’re kindly asked to leave because you’re trespassing. The trail head is less than 100 feet of our front door on a different mountain. It’s truly a beautiful piece of paradise.

@@TaylorGibleroffroad Not at all. I would never even think that way. One of them had come across a Yurt and realized that he was on private property. Respectfully he left but had mentioned that he would love to have he and his wife stay there. All I was saying is that our mountain is private property and sadly we have to keep it that way. If we didn’t then we’d have people, like those teenagers tearing up the roads that all of us maintain for our pleasure. We allow hunters to hunt on the mountain. In fact Turkey season is opening up and a friend of mine asked me today if he and a friend could hunt. Of course I gave him permission because I know him and his friend and they won’t tear up our trails. The mountain that the 9 of us own is a different mountain that our house is on. The 2 mountains are in a “L” shape and the trail head on the other mountain is about 150 feet from our front door. I also gave my friend permission to hunt on our personal property as well, which is 54.5 acres and our land buts up to National Forest. My friends and I take advantage of 4 wheeling on Forest Roads and logging roads, but we’ll never knowingly trespass on private land. Some property owners allow us to pass through their land and others don’t. We respect their wishes. I hope this helped clear up any misunderstanding on your part. Enjoy your Evening, Cheers !
You are right it is your truck, but there is no reason to destroy it to prove that. Regardless of what Chev tells you, that tuck is not made to do what you did. SAS is a YES from me, not that that matters a bit, but if you upgrade the power an already understrength diff will die quickly with bigger tires and mo power. SAS and trailing control arms and long travel coil overs similar to what OBS Suburbans do will give articulation and strength you are looking for I would bet. Not very Fam with Colorado trucks, but it will be very costly to try and build a truck to do all things. Decide what you really want to do and build to that end. You have a Jeep so you can still get out during the build. Can you imagine a custom frame, mega LS powered almost naked frame version of those racing trucks that jump a hundred feet and land like a butterfly? Bet that would get your blood pumping. Anyway ,good luck, sorry for the slight misadventure. Enjoyed the vid. We are planning to go to Ouray late summer early fall with either the 92 K2500 Sububan Tow Pig or the 89 square body Overlanding V1500 burban. Be safe.

Haha. Yeah. I’m aware that I don’t have to jump the truck. Still don’t regret it though. It would cost about 65k to do it right, and still be a comfortable daily driver. That would include a motor swap and retaining the IFS. Much, much less to go SAS. There is only one company building custom stuff for this truck to make it extremely capable. They are very expensive. The biggest turn off to that is retaining the weak front diff. Have a blast on your trip!
