Bad news and good news:
Bad news - the facility I work at is closing in the near future ? was announced last December.
Good news ? if I do not find a job I will take a trip out west with my two sons (we live in the Chicago area).
In addition to the Badlands, Black Hills, Yellowstone, and Grand Tetons I am looking at a number of places in Utah and Colorado. Can the Avalanche handle these? I have a 2002 Z71 completely stock, with the stock running boards, locking rear diff, currently the stock Goodyear Wrangler ATS tires (looking at the Silent armor or Duratracs). In addition, if you are familiar with any of these can you provide comments and/or ratings? Many indicate high clearance, which I would interpret as lifted. If I can only do one third of these I am trying to figure out what ones to do and what ones to skip.
