Hello all,
Marco here,
I have a 2001 Colorado 3.4 VX bought it with the plan of making it an off-road tourer and it’s happening. I’ve owned the truck for about 8 month now, started by zeroing it changing and checking all fluids and poking around to see if there was any issue but all good..considering it’s 21 years on the road.
Did the lower ball joints right away just to be safe. The shocks were pretty tired so in went an OME 2” lift, the tyres were pretty bald and the wheels would have needed a refurb… so went for steel wheels and some civilised mud terrain. Added a full length roofrack for the tent and we have done a fair few trips. After the first trip I quickly decided to add the snorkel. She runs sweet and takes us to some great places.
Planning to add some rock sliders as soon as I can find someone to make them…
I’m based in Hertfordshire and often out on the local lanes.
Cheers!
