here is a picture
Gmc Off Road
I left it a 5.2T GVM, so you need a truck licence but one can reduce
it to 4.5t without problems to use C license, but I would not know why
unless you are in QLD where insurance is insane for trucks. Truck license
costs $180 in WA. A family member just done one, easy enough.
I have rear airbags, which I fill up when I load my truck camper.
Long range tank (260l), double shocks in front, Bilsteins all around,
On board Air system with 1Hp compressor, hydraulic winch, steering
enforcement (HD tierods, pitman/idler braces), 4" dual exhaust with
exhaust brake, dual receiver hitch, single receiver hitch at front, HD
additional fuel filter with lift pump and a few more. It left every
other car in the dust when we went to
Warren Beach over the steep
dunes. You have to get used to the longer wheelbase and have to adjust
driving over dunes accordingly, but it has very low center of gravity despite
it's clearance and cuts it's own tracks, which is a good thing. And it
has power power power and can pull a Toyota or Nissan up a steep
hill
with the brakes engaged :) ...
It has Limited Slip Diff in the front and Auto Lockers in the rear from
the factory. No mods required... it goes awesome everywhere,
and it was cheaper after conversion, landed and taxes paid, than a
Toyota with full leather and all bells and whistles, not that this would ever compare.
The important thing for me was that I can buy all diagnostic
tools and repair
manuals to be independent of any mechanics.
It is not true that there is no dealer support here. You can buy them with 5 years warranty on the full car, but you pay a lot more for that.
good luck
