Never? I used to go a few times each summer but it’s been a few years. I need to go again but around here you need to reserve a spot a year in advance.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Nope, never been. I'd probably be lost anyway. I'm a city boy. Been fishing only once too.

My wife and in laws never went camping, my family were desert lake campers since my dad loves fishing. I prefer forest camping due to how flipping hot it is in Phoenix. It has been years since I have gone, the wife is uninterested which means solo op with 2 kids ages 4 and under.

Exact same boat here except kids in teens... Love the forest camping for sure.... SHADE!!!!
Yeah, I got spoiled with the camping options here. We have Cascade Mountains forest with all the lakes and rivers, high desert East of those mountains with some nice lakes and rivers out there in the sagebrush country, and the pacific Ocean to the West and only a couple hours to any of these. The rivers are mostly whitewater with great rafting and the lakes are great for fishing for trout and such. But I agree, my favorite has always been camping in the forest, ideally right on a nice cold lake perfect for swimming. Throw out the blowies and relax.

man camping was always so much fun. best get away you can get. when i was a kid we had a camper that you backed the pick up truck under strapped it down and off you went, had a shower, crapper, kitchen, slept 4 easy. all we ever did was shower and sleep in it, as we went to a camp ground 20 minutes from the jersey shore. so everything revolved around the water, beach days, crabbing days, do nothing days. then there was the cross country trip we took, NJ to CA. camped the whole way there and back. took the north to ca, and the south on the way back. then of course ive been camping as an adult, always went for lake side camp grounds so fishing and drinking all day long, pass out in a tent with a blow up mattress. then once i had a 24 ft boat, we find camp grounds with larger lakes that we could take the boat out on. and rent a slip for the week.

I have a 5 year old and 1.5 year old. There are definitely some challenges there. Bring friends or other family. Shoot we took my now 5 year old camping when he was 6 weeks old and brought his 2 stepsisters who were about 10 and stepbrother who was 13 and his 2 buddies for a long weekend on the lake with no running water in 100+*. That I don't recommend.

I grew up with a boat so we always lake camped. Usually loaded up the boat and just found a nice secluded beach somewhere and set up camp. Occasionally rented houseboats. That was a blast.

There’s a lot of places you can go in the National forests. No reservations required, also no improvements. Gotta be comfortable digging a hole.
I was doing some washing and detailing on The Beast todaysnd putting all my tools away when I realized I was missing a stick LED flashlight. Hmmm. Looked all around the house and garage. Nada. Looked in the engine bay. Nope, didn’t see it. Put it up in jack stands and climbed under and had a look. Nothing. I have been working in every single area of my truck in the last week looking at grounds and wiring harnesses so it could have been anywhere. I had another look under the hood, thinking maybe it was behind an inner fender well which I had off. And there it was, disguising itself as a hose. See it in the first pic?
I see it, but it's definitely a challenge. They should offer them in bright colors instead of just black.

@Rocket Man if you turned it sunny side up you wouldn’t lose it like that 
When I was a tech I used to carry a 2aaa penlight on me, if I dropped it I always prayed it didn’t land on the switch because it was so hard to find if it turned off

Well, I’m doing a lot of halfassery. Plastidiped center of the grill a week or 2 ago, now I did the wheels. I think it would be better with a color matched grill surround, the black wheels seem a bit strong for the rest of the truck, but I think it’s better than how they were with discolored center caps
Just a little motivation. Mines showing a bit of wear and tear after a few years but it’s still fairly ok.

Your center painted or dip?
Painting over a chrome grill I always hear chirping and flaking is an issue, I didn’t know if dip might hold up better than paint, and easier to retouch. I don’t think there’s any other route for the surround though
Oh, and nothing wrong with black wheels on a Pewter Denali either!
Painted by a body shop. It’s got a couple flakes but it’s been on a few years. I’m gonna get some black model paint and touch up a couple small spots.

I need to hide my prolink wires, I just ordered some hard 90* USB adapters to plug into the MPVI so the cord doesn't point straight out then have to make a hard turn. I'm pretty sure I have kicked mine a bunch when putting the parking brake on, of course you probably don't even use it.
Nah mine don't even work, never have. I was chasing squeaks last year and removed the shoes thinking they were the problem and never even put then back. I guess one day I could reinstall them and see if I can adjust them. I just never really need em.
