Dude! I'm glad that you seem to be getting good service out of your GMC. I have the 2017 and the transmission was rebuilt @ 85K and again @ 122K. I will be unloading this one as soon as I can. Great looking truck.

Thanks for watching! It hasn’t been all good. I mean it was until after that video lol. I now have replaced the water pump, transmission pump work, and an ac compressor. But I am at 130k now. These all went out within the last few months at different times. The transmission problem was in the pump and I was able to save the transmission because I knew it didn’t sound right and caught it before it started eating into the metal.

Thanks that was great, I'm looking at getting a truck and pop-up camper

Thanks! Nothing yet. It is still sitting higher in the rear but I eventually plan to swap the shocks and I might get a customer leaf pack made to offset my standard load.

Great video and explanation of everything. Question #1 I flyfish and I have a rod carrier thoughts on mountain a fly rod carrier on top of the M? Huge hassle to get them down and put away overall use Question about the deck storage. Do you miss having the bench on the side? How tight is it getting into your M when it isn’t popped up?

How much did the M affect your mpg?

@roadtripangler

Mounting one to the top would be no issue. You might have to increase the four struts from the standard 30lb size to 35 or 40lbs. I am doing that myself just so they can handle a 35lb inflatable better. I have also seen a setup on the side. I will try and find that post and put the link here if I can. I still get to use the side bench so it is not an issue. It is shorter so I just keep my feet out straight when sitting but works for me. The Decked is just to valuable for what I do.

On the MPG it is hard to say. I had a rack on before with all the goodies mounted to it and got 13 - 13.5. I am now at 12.5 but also went up another inch on the tires right after getting the M. Bone stock the truck got 19 hwy so with all I have done it is now down to 12.5 hwy and like 11 around town.

Nice, what model is the little black pressurized water tank/hose on the exterior?

Hey thanks! It is a Water Port. I think the 4gal one.

I like the Project M. How did you mount the rotopax and other items. I cant find a molle panel to work. Are you mounting straight into the side of the wall for the recovery boards. Thanks. Once again beautiful.

@roadtripangler

Hey! Mine has the track option on the sides and I made a plate out of aluminum to span from one to the other. Bolted it on and then attached the rotopax to it. For the MaxTrax I did the same but they are just attached to the top track bar with the bracket. You can buy their bracket and do the same. There is a Molle panel made to work with Four Wheel’s track spacing. Here is the link to it too: prospeedrack.com/collections/accessories/products/four-wheel-campers-molle-panels?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3kljU7IP6ohOqsB0wNf7F04HskedUylC5thtbDV36qL9jxF1KnF-CQJsU_aem_kt9nIiTsy_zsv3C-E8ac4A Hopefully that helps!

Jameson, you're saying you fit those tires on there without a Front Leveling Kit or Lift beyond the stock factory 2 inch, and all without rubbing?

@roadtripangler

5 ай бұрын

Yep. The bumper allowed it to happen! I did have to trim my mudflaps and remove a mounting bracket that is behind them. Then I pulled the fender cover back and zip tied it to the old mounting bracket hole. It doesn’t rub now at all. I found some videos on some of the AT4 Facebook groups where folks had done it to fit 35’s

No water, had some dust around the tailgate until I bulb seal and went around it. Now it is very minimal and only on long dry dirt roads that i notice it at all.

Any reason why you didn't go with the 3.0L Duramax engine. My Sierra has that engine and I'm getting 25 to 30 miles per gallon.

@roadtripangler

3 ай бұрын

Honestly I have wondered if that would have been a better option. I would not have been able to have the winch with the diesel because I have not seen a bumper option that allows for the clearance needed on the diesel. AEV now offers one for the new front end.

What’s the dust situation with that camper? I’m on the fence between this or the regular camper.

@roadtripangler

10 күн бұрын

So at first I had some around the tailgate. Not the camper but around my truck tailgate. A bit of bulb seal in the areas that needed it took care of 90% of it. I see a little when I am on really bad roads but only around the bottom edge of the gate. I needed my truck to haul stuff so this was my only real option and it had been awesome!

hey question, I was looking at a 24' Canyon AT4 for my Scout Yoho camper. A little digging and I've found that Chevy/GMC apparently specifically state to NOT use campers on their vehicles. is this still true in 24' and if so, how you feelin about that

@roadtripangler

3 ай бұрын

I honestly do not know much about the 24’s and for that matter I have not looked into it even for the 2020 that I have. I feel like manufactures will try to cover themselves from a liability standpoint, but these are so lightweight that it is not a typical “camper”,

@eddyjroth

3 ай бұрын

@@roadtripangler I definitely think it’s just a liability thing from GM, just annoying they are the only manufacturer that says it for their trucks. The 24 canyon says it should have about 1550 payload which feels like it should be plenty with some assist with rear an airbag suspension kit. Would just suck if something ever happened

@roadtripangler

For sure. My camper weighs 400lbs ish and a canyon one would be even less. I put so many miles on my truck that the warranty really means nothing to me anyway lol. I am just over 3 years in and an have 127000 miles on it now so it has been out of warranty for 2/3rds of the time anyway. I just send it and hope for the best lol
