I fabricated it myself since there's no support for expedition racks for chevy full size. I took some design cues from Prinsu but took it to the next level with the windscreen hiding the light bar just to protect the lenses from yellowing and damage.

Levi Keeling i had to cut the mounting brackets but it isn’t a permanent fix. I’m putting a front hitch mount for my winch. You will need to chop the mounting brackets on the bumper and then weld up your own system of attachment. It should be pretty easy but other than that the fit is pretty good otherwise. I got lucky and got the bumper on Craigslist for cheap but if you have the knowledge be confident that your custom mount will work great with this bumper. I’m about to order the rear but that will probably be a more in depth challenge because the rear skirts sit so low so I’ll have to do a lot of trimming

Very cool roof rack in your Avy, how did you attach the rear supports on top of the sides of the bed? I have an 04 Avalanche 2500 I am equipping for off-road trails and wanting to build a roof rack, yours is awesome. Any details you would share on it would be much appreciated.
@protohyp
5 жыл бұрын
thanks sir. Basically between the bed panel and the saddle bag doors there is a small enough gap to put in a 1/4" angle that you can bolt down to the bed sides. its very solid. The only other issue is that if you want functional saddle bag doors you need to cut the doors themselves to be able to open up. I think you can see that on my video how they're cut down. Good luck and post up what you've done.!

Do you think the 2” lift is enough on it? I am considering getting one but want to overland in it as well and want some lift so I can get into back places better.
@protohyp
5 жыл бұрын
Even without the lift I was able to get to the places with some mild crawling with no problem. The lift can only help. It all depends on your budget and your choice of terrain. Clearance is always a big plus but anything higher than 3 and you're talking about a lot of chopping and mods that typically are reserved for car shows without any real benefit. I just posted a video on my channel on installing the fox shocks and cognito arms. Check it out. If you are going to do 2" definitely do control arms as well to keep your suspension happy.
