A couple with a few pups doing wild dog things. Adventures and the overland build out of our 2024 GMC Sierra.
Best campsite we have taken our Four Wheel Camper Project M
We took a couple of days off to go north for some hiking and camping with the FWC. Seems like we are getting the hang of using the camper. Lots more upgrades to come as we figure out what is more necessity over luxury.
This campsite off of Hipcamp was the coolest site we have been to. Kevin did a great job making this the riverside experience we were looking for. Dogs had a blast!

Took a couple camping/hiking trips with the pups and some friends to break in the Project M. Lots have been learned and to be completely honest the humidity isn’t that bad with the insulation and dual fans.

Here is the blank slate of our 2024 Four Wheel Camper Project M (6-6.5’ bed). Mounted on a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation 2.7L Turbo. This is how it’s starting. We plan to continue making additions and improvements through the year to get it game time ready for anything.
Four Wheel Camper Project M Bedrug Install

Had to install the bed rug myself. That was not pleasant. Picked the hottest day of the week to do it also. Genius move. Would 100% suggest making sure the four wheel camper installer does this for you. Not worth saving the time.

The wait is over. We got our custom built Four Wheel Camper Project M installed on the 2024 GMC Sierra. Clocked a couple of gas mileage changes. Our first night in the camper goes smooth as butter. Check it out and get excited for the adventures to come.

Meet my brother, his gf and their pup at a great in between hike from where we were staying and where they lived. Explored the town of Glenwood Springs. Ended the trip on a hike up Mount Sopris to the Thomas Lakes. Perfect trip out to Colorado if you ask me.
Day 1 of Colorado… WE SEE A MOOSE!

Days one and two of our Colorado trip did not disappoint. Eased into the hiking to acclimate to elevation compared to Boston. Moose siting, ranch hiking, and beautiful weather.
Birthday hike with the family! Bugs, ponds and a bummer at the top.

Yet another weekend without the truck campers arrival. So we made due. Day trip for my birthday. Got up just south of Lake a Winnipesauke in NH. Clouds I feel kept the trail clear of too many people but the skies cleared and it ended up being a great day. Not much more you can ask for of a birthday in your mid thirties.

Took a trip up north to Bow, New Hampshire for the 2024 Main Line Overland Open House. Worth the trip! A ton of great conversations and ideas for our build out in the works.
Southern New Hampshire hiking day trips for dogs
Переглядів 774 місяці тому
We had a couple of great day trips into NH the past couple weekends that should be on your to-do list. Especially if you have dogs as these were very dog friendly trails. First stop was just outside of Hooksett, NH to Bear Brook State Park. Tons of trails here to explore which is good. A lot of mountain biking to be careful of if you’re off leash with the dogs. Brewery stop after: www.feathered...

After the initial ripping of our back seat dog hammock. We have got a replacement on the way! To ensure that it doesn’t happen again. I have built an easy support for the hammock that should stop the tear from happening again.

Came in here to see hidden features for my new truck I just got yesterday you got the same truck same color same everything
Glad to hear your enjoying it! My wife and I just ordered one on Wednesday. Have fun for the remainder of the camping season! Thanks for responding.
That’s awesome! Hopefully you two are better with patience than my wife and I are… going to make this camping season as long as we can make it!
We do ok, been married now for 31 years.
What size tire and load rating?
Falken AT4’s 275/65R20 Load Rating E
How do you like the project M so far?
Love it! It is way more spacious than we had initially thought. No issues so far but there’s a lot more adventuring to do before it’s fully broken in.
Love mine, just put the decked drawer system in it. I'm glad to get my truck cab back🏁
Nice! How many drawers did you go with?
@sethrowsam mine has 2. I'm 5ft 11in and my head barely hits the roof. But for me, the payoff is way worth it.
I like your steps going into the truck, what brand is that?
Thanks. It’s from Pet Loader. www.petloader.com/shop/
What size are your falkens?
Got 275/65R20 126 on there
@@sethrowsam thanks. No rubbing?
What brand is that ladder?
Got it from here. www.petloader.com/shop/?_gl=1*1ddkpvg*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjwp4m0BhBAEiwAsdc4aKkrDF6ywIqH45OFDt3PE1SgNgkxVFq0KgRETQ5tR44IfDAAkiaBfBoC7QsQAvD_BwE
Good choice on the Bedrug. I've had one in my Ram for 21 years.
That would be really nice with one of those 270 degree awning so you have the lift gate covered as well.
5.5ft or 6.5ft bed ? Looks good on the Sierra
Thank you! It’s a 6.5’ bed. Took a little searching to find the double cab 6.5’ bed in the Sierra but was worth the wait and search.
@@sethrowsam yeah dude I was looking around and couldn’t find one so I went with the canyon Is this with the Duramax ?
Traded in my canyon for the big boy since we got a second dog and it wasn’t going to work haha. Had 4 dealerships all over New England on the hunt. Finally one in CT tracked one down in the color I wanted. No this is the 2.7L turbo gas. Love it.
Place hand under tailgate, push up, tailgate will close.
Thanks! Been driving around with it down for months now
@@sethrowsam 😂 no problem! The other comments... I had to say it.
I was hoping for some nonsense from those comments haha but obviously my content isn’t popular enough for the UA-cam world to have fun 🤷🏻♂️
hey love you Project M. I like your stepper to to the Project M, where did you get that from?
Thanks! We got it from Pet Loader, here’s a link for the site. Lots of options to choose from. www.petloader.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACspcCB5qelGkmTt13fMHzciqvJWB&gclid=CjwKCAjwp4m0BhBAEiwAsdc4aKkrDF6ywIqH45OFDt3PE1SgNgkxVFq0KgRETQ5tR44IfDAAkiaBfBoC7QsQAvD_BwE
What motor?
2.7L turbo.
Unfortunately, that will never stick. Give it 30 days, and it's falling off. I used industrial strength locktite adhesive.
We are already seeing this happen… especially on the tailgate. Does the locktite work?
Congrats!
Thanks!
How do you like the black vs black diamond plate? Have you tried sleeping side to side without extending the bed platform?
Wanted something different than everyone that saw going with the diamond plate black. Plus we are considering a wrap later down the road that could be challenging with the diamond plate (don’t know but played it safe). We did not sleep without pulling the bed all the way out. Our bedding is too wide to try that. We could modify the platform to be a little shorter if we wanted. TBD on that though.
how are things?- Like it, that's unusual job-Seth.
Just got these tires a week ago, and compared to Toyo AT3 and KO2, I am sold on how much smoother and quieter the ride is. 👍👍👍
Agreed! Cant say I’ve tried anything other than the wildpeaks… but I am a big fan of how quiet they are on highway driving. Have you aired them down yet? That’s one thing I haven’t had to do yet but I’m sure this summer it will come up.
Push button 2 times hold on second push tailgate will go up
When tailgate is down push tailgate button 2times and hold on second push tailgate will go up and close
Didn’t work with mine. Might not be quite fancy enough…
I have the Denali with super cruise and mine don’t have that 😤 a little bummed lol
Blind spot monitor?
No this one did not come with the blind spot monitors. Sensor for you coming up on a vehicle but nothing for the sides.
Lovely work my friend! Trail looks amazing!
Thanks!! Love spring time hiking.
Those tires are great on that truck
Thank you! Work awesome and love the way they look
That’s so cool I have to get one for my pup and my ram truck
It is really an awesome set up and great quality. But I will warn it’s kind of heavy/bulky to be moving in and out if you’re traveling with your dog a lot. We have moved to a ramp set up for daily use. This step system will be our more permanent set up during camping.
@@sethrowsam I hear you I have a fold up ramp style thing it’s ok but I do like that one thanks for that
I like the GM trucks but the thing that gives me pause is the Ford F 150 is rated at 9.8 inches of ground clearance with 23 degrees of approach angle. The GMC Sierra 1500 is rated at 8.1 ground clearance and 19 degrees approach angle. I plan on putting a 4 Wheel Camper on the truck I go with and going off road quite a bit, and the front of the truck looks like it would be having trouble dealing with off road conditions. I was wondering if you had thought this might be any problem for you. The front air dam looks like it could be the primary reason for the significant difference in the Ford and GMC.
Yes this was definitely something we took into consideration when purchasing. For sure the front end is a potential snag spot when going off road with it. We don’t plan to do anything too intense with the truck that would be a major concern. This being said there is a bumper replacement that will happen down the road on this build out. Right now there aren’t a ton of after market parts for this generation GMC. I am hoping if we prolong this portion of the build there will be more options. Skid plates under and a potential front lift/level is also on the table to help. So moral of the story is yes this is a point of concern for sure with the GMC over other trucks.
@sethrowsam Well, it is a nice-looking truck. I like the looks of the GMC trucks. I also think that GM has done a good job with the 2.7 turbo engine it wouldn't bother me at all going with that engine. I've seen UA-cam videos where people remove the front air dam on the Chevy and GMC trucks, and they say it improves the ground clearance by 2 or 3 inches up front. I could do that. I'm just not familiar with the after-market parts and shops and would prefer not to do too many modifications on a new truck. The back of the truck looks like it has plenty of clearance. What is the payload? Can it carry a camper.
Yeah the aesthetic of this truck definitely beat out all practicality of other truck options haha payload is somewhere north of 2000lbs if I’m remembering correctly. We have airbags put on the back suspension that add another 5000lbs. This was the pre camper prep work suggested by Main Line Overland who we are doing all our work through.
@@sethrowsam Thank you.
Is it reliable engine 2.7 ?
Not too sure on its reliability. It seems to be doing the trick so far. Don’t you worry. UA-cam will be the second to know if something starts acting up. First to know will be my mechanic. 😂
You need to get the blacked out GMC logos for the grill and tailgate ‼️‼️‼️‼️😎 an absolute must with that color of the truck 😎✌🏼
Love it! Consider it added to the buy list. Great idea.
Did you go up in size .I have the same truck and it came with the brigstones and looking to get a replacement tire a little wider with out rubbing
Yeah I did have to get a larger tire. It came with 275/60 and to get the AT4’s I had to go a little bigger to 275/65. No issues with rubbing with that small of a jump.
@@sethrowsam thanks for the info I see one at my GMC dealer and they had 305-55r20 bf Goodrich all terrain s but forgot to get the rim size I have the same rims as you nice job on your truck have fun with it they are great looking truck s
@@johnmcalisterjr3913nice. Always have loved the look of the all terrains on my trucks. Now I’m actually going to use them for fun besides in snow. Thank you! Can’t wait to keep building this thing. Enjoy your truck as well! Hope you’re having fun with it.
How are you liking the Falkens so far?
Sierra looks way better than the silverado in all aspects Been loooking at these a lot
Agreed. We looked into the Silverado to compare to see if it was worth changing away but I had to stick with old faithful.
Very nice. Just got one as well. I really like the Turbomax engine
Thanks. Yeah I wasn’t sold on the TurboTax until I drove it even though everyone on here raved about it. Have you hauled anything with it yet?
@@sethrowsam no I only had it 5 days haha.
@@DKLabs99haha alright well enjoy the brand new wheels then!
