It’s cool to bolt-up off-road gear like big wheels and tires, a suspension lift, and rugged bumpers. However, a major focus of the Summit Racing Project S71 build is Overlanding.

…And a big part of Overlanding is the ability to carry a lot of stuff.

To that end, this episode of the build series is all about improving the truck’s cargo-carrying capability. The party’s all out back where we add a bed rack along with Molle Mount racks. The cargo bed gets some floor protection along with nifty swing-out cargo boxes for bonus lockable storage. See it all go down in the video above. Then check out each part installed in this episode below:

- ADD Offroad Universal ADD-Lander Overland Racks
- WeatherTech TechLiner Bed Liners
- Putco MOLLE Rack Systems
- UnderCover SwingCases

We’re nearing the completion of Project S71, as the Chevy Silverado has already received a bounty of off-road and Overlanding upgrades, including a bed rack, suspension lift, and LED light bar.

…Now it’s time to get comfy.

Remember, Overlanding is all about enjoying time in your vehicle, and it all starts with a good night’s sleep. So Project S71 gets a rooftop tent for its truck bed rack to keep its occupants nice and dry—and away from curious critters. Your stomach also plays a huge role during an Overlanding expedition, which means a vehicle-powered cooler is a camping essential here too.

To get you there in one piece we'll show you a cool GPS device made specifically for Overlanding and off-roading. Finally, the Chevy Silverado receives an upgraded hitch, so you can haul a boat, a set of bikes, or whatever else you need to enjoy your off-the-grid time.

Info on the parts installed in the video is below:
- Garmin Overlander Navigation Device
- Dometic CFX3 55 Powered Cooler
- Tepui Explorer Series Kukenam Tents
- Bulletproof Hitches
- ADD Offroad Universal ADD-Lander Overland Rack

Over the course of several video installments, we’ve transformed a stout 2021 Chevy Silverado into a no-compromise off-the-grid expedition rig. Dubbed “Project S71,” the Silverado now wears a suspension lift, bigger wheels and tires, rugged off-road bumpers, rock sliders, a bed rack, a rooftop tent, and a full complement of Overlanding accessories.

You can see every one of the episodes in the Project S71 Chevy Silverado overlanding build series here.

In this final wrap-up video, you’ll see highlights of the key parts getting installed. You'll also learn about the homework and planning that went into the Overlanding build.
