Chevy & GMC Vans

Finally have the 2.5" kit dialed...this testing ground is literally 2min from my house. Took'er out for a rip
These pics and video don't do this trail justice...I'll be working on better footage to really showcase it. A regular 4x4 with an open rear diff would have a very hard time climbing this trail in sections.
In this van (with the factory G80 locker)...it was a cake walk!

Sorry about the audio, forgot to edit it out...just wind noise...turn your speakers down.

Excellent video, Loops. Looks like a sweet little test area, alright. The van looks great.

Your van looks great. Nice area to test drive. I'll bet the dogs love it also. I'd like to fly that area in my balloon.

Damn, from the looks of the area, you could be just south of me!

Great job with the van!

Nice playground you have

Looks like you and TLow are living it up. I need to get out.

I was suprised at that, too. But I guess it makes sense.

Okanagan and Okanogan look very similar.

Thanks for sharing those Loopie.
Man I miss that area, I grew up not far from there in Merritt. talk about a great place to go 4x4ing.
Was that south of Kamloops, like around Sahali or Nutsford?
I miss the dessert climate over there, not much but rain and rainforest over here on the island.

Looks Good, Congrats!

That is the north/north-west corner of town...known as "Batch" (Batchelor Heights) and officially Lac de Bois Grasslands Provincial Park with a large section designated for off-road recreation. But really, anywhere around Kamloops is off-road fun...you just have to stay on existing roads/trails...which isn't hard cuz they're everywhere!

Knutsford is south of town and the starting point of a very nice off-road trail that comes out at Lac Le-Juene. I'll be documenting that exursion just as the snow/ice is letting go...should be muddy

We did that when i was about 6 years old, in a chevy pickuptruck.
Your right, you could litterally go for hundreds of miles thru the backroads around there. Lac le june, Login Lake, Spencis Bridge. Its all mostly dessert and tumbleweeds too. Good country.

Lookin good loop-ster

Lookin' at the area from across town.(I live in the area just above the roof of the van)
