    Hi Mike, that was the best and most informative Vid I have watched on an American Truck build, thank you for that. I have a question for you, would it have been cheaper to go to the 3500 Silverado as it has the heavier axle loadings already built into it from factory. Cheers Dave.

    Thanks for the video. Did the GCR late July '24. 3rd time on this road. Did the xing west to east Southern X to Curtain Springs in 4 days which was nice and relaxed. Have done similar in two days previously but that was a long haul and would never do it again! Would recommend min 3 days to do it. Taking it easy much better. Free camped along the way. Road was completely dry - must have been a dry spell at the time. Can't remember seeing any roadworks at all. Couldn't be bothered lowering tyre pressures as there are considerable lengths of bitumen to traverse. Just left them at 40psi highway pressure all the way. Few bumpy sections but overall not too bad. Have only blown out one tyre on my 3 xings and that was likely by running over something on the road (like a piece of metal). Tyre was nicely sliced. This time no problems at all. Plenty of rubbish around at popular camp spots which is a shame. Great place to camp is at Giles Breakaway (which was nice and clean there with bins etc). Visting Warburton is an experience in itself. Overall really enjoyed my trip and would love to do it again.

    Very neat. It makes me miss living and working on my uncle’s ranch even with the mundane chores. It never got as hot as the temperatures you shared. A hot summer day was 85 Fahrenheit and temperatures in mid fall could be 35 Fahrenheit and mid to late winter could easily reach the mid to low teens. Twenty plus inches of snow is also typical. These extremes come from the dry air in the high desert and his house is at 7000 feet in elevation. Again, neat video.
