Lmao, man, I always love your pick of intro music, they're always hitting the mood. I reckon the best overland vehicle for any person is one that they can afford without putting them in any debt. Of course there's usually the better go to options but keeping within your fiscally responsible budget should be top priority. Old jeep Cherokees are also a solid choice besides Chevy for lower budget.

Daniel, I am in nearly the exact same boat as you right now. I was gifted an ‘04 LS 2wd from my Aunt (due to poor health) last year and have slowly been replacing parts on it! So far she’s got new tires, brakes and rotors, oil gauge sensor, front shocks, power steering fluid, synthetic oil and I have put many hours of cleaning the interior. It’s got 192k and it still drives like a dream. In the near future I will be doing the trans and differential fluid, ball joints, rear shocks, and fixing the front seat motor. I am actually kind of glad it’s not 4wd so I don’t have to deal with maintaining that system. I really do love this vehicle, it’s the perfect camping car for me and my family. It also needs a flowmaster exhaust but I don’t know which one I am gonna go with yet.

One thing you gotta love about these vehicles is the amount of luxury and comfort you can get for cheap, while having the rugged look and offroad capability. They were built reliable back then and not financial dumpsters, something that is no longer seen from today's car manufacturerers. Sadly most of these have either been trashed or become rust buckets, they'd probably go extinct before their value could even go up.

Excellent trucks. But they’re not real off-roaders. “Overlanding” is what they can do. Any real trails you’re going to get in trouble quick, but it’ll have zero issue taking you out in the boonies on some light moderate trails/Terrian. The reason is, this body style uses torsion bars, they’re wide, and heavy. Coil spring front suspension is much better.

Comfy, safe & everything that is "new tech" & electrical stuff helps really safety, driving etc. & is somehow still able to been repaired. Newer vehicles are just Smartphones on 4 wheels & less a vehicle, so the quality. Also some stuff on the new car breaks that git nothing to do with driving & still won't start or drive because somehow connected to other electrical crap, also the whole emissions stuff etc. Those Tahoe's are somehow the best Daily Drivers.

The Eaton G80 is OK, not foolproof. My Silverado 2500HD 4X4 & GM use them as standard equipment for slippery roads, steep hills and deep ruts where one tire will lose traction. Sometimes in real mud you have gone too far under once the other side kicks in to help. For those situations nothing short of a full locker and grabby tires will do. Everyone wants a lift and big tires today. It is just the look. Like bellbottoms were in the 70s disco days. Big tires stress the whole suspension system and axles. Lifts stress drive shafts and steering. Companies make big bucks selling double tough replacement parts because you will need them. Try peddling fat oversize tires on a bicycle and you will learn quickly why they don't come that way. But surfer beach boardwalk ones do. Fortunately GMs were engineered to last, so generally take the extra stress, if you don't always mash your right foot. If you are serious about off road travel here is an old guy clue. In the Sierra Nevada mountains near Yosemite where I live I have pulled a couple of Dick Cepek and Rancho city built beauties out with an old 50s Dodge 4x4 1/2 ton. Reason being wide tires are great for looks and sand, but they want to 'float' over terrain. And once bogged down they float and spin. In slippery/ broken dirt, deep snow & mud they make life worse. Thin and tall will get you as far back as you can go. All they way into 'no one can help you' territory. I know it is not sexy, but they will do much better in the wet and sloppy stuff. Just put together a narrow off-road tire and simple steel wheel package to slap on for your safari trips into the wilderness. WWII jeeps came that way and they worked everywhere. They also stress the suspension parts and bearings less. PS: please do not attempt to make a Silverado/ Tahoe/ Suburban/ Denali into a rock crawler. Short of thousands of dollars and a lot of modifications you will get very frustrated.

Again, the bilstien 5100s are amazing on mine. Rides factory with 33s and I can cruise down trails and be comfy

My 2004 Tahoe interior is not really that desirable. GM interior quality from the 2000s isn't great. But gosh I love that SUV

I have an '02 Yukon with a Rough Country leveling kit and Bilstein shocks. These are best without traction control and without autoride. What happens when rough country lift starts to wear out?

Oh yeah I would imagine they’re better without the BS. This one’s been starting to bounce and float a lot on the road lol. Shocks are already worn out and my buddy really only drives this in town

Here's a test to everyone's electrical knowledge. 2005 Tahoe. New battery. Starter is good. Turn the key and everything comes on, but the starter doesn't turn over. Try connecting a wire from the 87 pin on the relay to the positive on the battery with the key in the run position and nothing. Tried it for hours. Put the key in the on position and tried to straighten the wheel but it wouldn't turn, and I tried it one more time and it started right up. Parked it with a straight wheel, shut it off but it wouldn't turn over. Wiggled the wheel and it still wouldn't turn over. The ground at the back of the engine "Feels" tight but couldn't climb back there to check for sure. Anybody experience something like this?

I had a similar issue with mine. Starter tested good but was weak compared to a new one. Replaced the starter and all has been good. I had a similar issue with fuel pump. Was intermittent issue untill i replaced it with a new one. Just cause it test good dont mean that its legit. It can be slowly going bad.

Honestly not sure about those. Haven’t messed around, but I would think so!

Not really. The 5.3 started with oil consumption because of valve control (you know, when you cruise it disables some cylinders etc. People with this problem or not wanting to occur disable it in a shop) & also People in general complain about the 3rd Gen Tahoe. Not as good of reliability like 2nd Gen (often considered "built like tanks" when well maintained & taking care of) with more smaller & bigger issues occurring over the time. For my taste all the common issue on the 2nd Gen are worth fixing it. Even if the Transmission should fail, because of the amount of money you put in & won't get such an good SUV. Just invest more when buying to get a well maintained & "rust free" one & your good. When it comes to 3rd Gen you have more to depend on luck instead of well maintained etc.

I have the 03 escalade. The traction control is the weak point for off road. I also wish I had a selectable transfer case to go with my 6.0. Oh well..... It makes me smile when I mash the pedal.
