Hey guys,
I've been running my 2013 Silverado up and down mountain dirt roads and logging roads in Maine almost every weekend for the last year and a half. She's treated me well, especially for lightweight tires (will upgrade when these are toast), but I burned out some brakes more quickly than I would've liked.
So, are you guys running the high end pads on your rigs?
Also, do you think the weekend warrior off roading -- nothing crazy or any rock crawling by any means -- tears a truck up quickly? What tips, aftermarket parts, and maintenance do you guys recommend?? I try to keep the truck cleaned up regularly so that the mud isn't grinding into moving parts, but the truck certainly looks better with a little mud on it!
Don't want to be too soft, but these trucks aren't cheap, and I'd like to keep her around.
