Maybe it's just me, but I've always thought that even stock Tahoes and Yuks have pretty flexible suspension?

Saw the Alpine loop video too... there aren't very many cars I would even think to drive on that other than our trucks. Awesome video, by the way, that one is.

This is in a public use area just west of Grand Junction. The spotter is a well renowned off-road guide and instructor, Bill Burke.
I put 135,000+ miles on a 95 Z-71 Silverado in basically stock form. I bought this 96 Yukon from my Father late last year with nearly 50,000 miles on it. It is bone stock except for the 285's and factory skid plates added by me.
My approach has been pretty mild for the past decades. I decided to begin to push the envelope and bought some professional training. I still have no goal to be a hard core rock crawler or mudder, I just want to be able to use roads to trailheads and byways like the Alpine Loop.
My intent is to see what I can accomplish in stock form and only change those things that really constrain my travels. Like Little Pearl said, the equipment is pretty dern capable in stock form and reasonably quiet and comfortable for the day long drive to get there and back.
I also get some fun out of negotiating obstacles in a mild mannered grocery getter.
