I love the offroad. Not so much the truck stuff, but buggies and UTVs. Ive had a bunch of toys over the years.

That's a great truck with a solid engine. But there are two things you gotta watch out for with that truck, especially if you drive it off road; the wheel bearings and the drive shaft/u-joints. These tend to wear prematurely on late model silverados.

Thanks for the head's up! Since the wheel base is so long though, I don't have any extreme off road adventures planned. I'll keep on eye on those parts though and be sure to take it easy.

Just bought the new 2013 silverado a few weeks ago. Now just have to wait and see what problems GM has created with this year's model. Now my poor Ranger can finally get some rest.

Gonna use it for anything besides the daily commute?

Oh and really really cool videos, Owl! :thumb:

I plan on using it on road only.

Finally was able to get a picture of my truck! All nice and clean! I got a pretty sweet floor jack and some jack stands for my birthday, so I'll be able to do some work on it now.

I can't wait to get a picture of this thing covered head to toe in mud though either.
