What have you done to your Silverado ZR2 this week? 🛠️

[Leonidas]

I hooked up my onboard air. My setup for now is pretty simple. I already had a Viair 450p, so I mounted that up front (ton of well ventilated open space above the skid plate). I converted to JIC4 fittings and ran ARB braided stainless lines to two ARB couplers. One is mounted on the right rear bumper step and the other is on a bracket mounted to the front side step bracket by the driver door. I really only plan using this for roadside issues/normal air-ups. I’m not doing heavy off-road air-drops and refills. The 450p can run 100% duty cycle for an hour- so I don’t think I’d need a tank, but could always add on easy enough if needed later. This was more a project than a necessity and it saves space under the rear seat instead of the compressor bag. The ARB coupler covers will be here this week… kinda interesting, there are unused hose clips on the front frame that fit the air line perfectly.

Mounted my tent today. Heading to Illinois tomorrow to camp and watch the eclipse

Looks good! I bet that ARB braided lines and fittings wasn't cheap! I've always just used plastic automotive airline and brass fittings. You probably will want some kind of tank at some point. Just helps a lot with speed and allows you to run tools if you want. You already did most of the work. Adding a tank later wouldn't be a big deal like u said.

I’m in such a crappy weather environment in Indiana between 100 degree summer days and negative 10 winter days with all the slush and salt etc I figured I’d get a sturdy airline set up. At least through the areas of high heat etc. The braided line runs back to the first coupler by the driver door. From there I ran Titan Ultraflex TF-4 line with the JIC4 fittings.

I installed a TripleAliner bed liner in my truck. You can find them on Amazon for $119. It fit like a glove. I'm sure I will love it.

Added some enhanced security features since they had a 50% off sale at Sportman's Warehouse!

What was the motivation to install it since you have a factory spray in liner?

Tent works great! Too high for the annex room that goes around the ladder, but maybe I’ll get an extension piece to make it work. Slept like a baby last night in it.

Excellent! Like a mobile tree fort or a deer stand. Can you draw a bow inside?

@AXE great idea.

I'm thinking a camo wrap and you're hunting!

Haha, was just talking to my dad about that. Crossbow could work

It would be cool to mount these to your tent platform and rack. Then you could always level you tent no matter the ground conditions.

Interesting idea, might have to look into something like that

I tend to over complicate things!

Finally got rid of my old gator soft roll up cover I used on my last three trucks and got a Diamondback cover. Very happy with it!
