Current Set Up
Ive been lurking here for awhile checking out all the awesome builds, and finally looks like I am going to get one of my own started up. Just picked up a 2013 silverado 1500 a couple weeks ago and am planning on turning it into a base camp for both longer trips as well as camping trips in the local mountains. Here are a couple pictures of the base, and a little list of what I am thinking of for the build right now.
Going to keep it pretty simple since it is going to be my daily driver more than it will be an expedition truck, but I want it to be quite capable there as well...
Upcoming Additions
ARE Z Series topper (will have it all installed by tomorrow evening hopefully)
Level and Ultra Phantom wheels (shop I ordered them with found out the rims are currently sitting on a ship on the coast, waiting to be unloaded, but recent strike over there means it will be awhile before the supplier gets them in hand, so right now I am just waiting...)
Tires: Not sure what I am going to go for, will have to wait a little untial my bank account recovers some from the initial truck/topper/wheels purchasing...
Roof rack: right now thinking a Baja rack or ARB
Solar panel system for charging of cameras etc... ac/cooling for the dog in the summer, fridge/freezer in the future, anything else I may need
Some kind of organization/storage for fuel/water/emergency gear etc...
Future Additions/Wish List
Upgraded shocks/suspension: Right now thinking of keeping it simple, upgrading to some king/icon/other shock setup
LED light bar(s): not sure if I want a roof mount, or bumper mount, or combination
Bumper: not sure what I want to do here, may just leave the stock, may look into a pre-runner style. Probably the bottom of the list right now, will see what I think when I get the rest put together...
Anything else I come up with along the way...
Looking forward to getting her all built up getting out in the mountains. Any and all comments/suggestions are welcome!
