Project Workshop's offroad adventure mobile

[Project Workshop]

Took a trip out to Victorville last weekend and tested the new suspension while we were there, the truck handled great! It was my son’s first time off-road and he had a blast.

Ordered some Moog 81069 hd springs for the rear to bring it up a bit. And will be replacing all of the factory rear arms/rubber after the near year.

Also found these textured black mirror covers on Amazon for $50.

Let us know how those mirrors work out, most of the aftermarket ones we hear about wiggle and are not steady.

Any pics of the new tie rods on the car?

Thank you for the heads up in the mirrors, I’ll keep an eye on them.

Those are Kryptonites? They look stock, what is different about them to my untrained eye?

I've been wondering about their control arms since i had my silverado. Wish they had more products for the 1500 platform

Once they are mounted they don’t really look different to me. They have the Kryptonite logo printed on them somewhere. I was planning to just buy a new set of OEM ends but got a great deal on a used like new set of Kryptonites through Amazon Warehouse.

I will be sure to take a picture next time I have the front wheel off so it is easier to see.

I agree 100%. The products I have seen from them look great, but not much for this platform.

How do the Kenda tires perform on Road especialy over Bumpy roads?

The Kendas have been great so far! They handle great off road and are the quietest all terrain tire I have owned on the highway.

Got a lot of projects done last month. Installed a shovel on the lift gate, two fire extinguishers, a couple of spot lights, an Iceco fridge and a Smittybilt roof rack.

Spent a day hitting the trails in Stoddard Wells. Whole family had a blast driving and a nice picnic lunch out in the middle of the desert with no one else in sight.
