SlimDigg's 2001 Double Cab Build

haha k, maybe get lots more?

 

You're going to drive to armstrong for that? No home hardwares in Kelowna? Otherwise i'd suggest calling shepards hardware in armstrong and telling them to order you about 4 cans. $19 a piece tax in

 

I guess I could get the one here to order some for me..

 

looks good..

 

DUN DUN DUNNNNN

The first sign of wear has shown itself on the top of the plasti dip console. I'm not surprised. The soft top layer on the console it seems was dinged and is peeling. I'm going to peel it all off tomorrow and see how the rest goes.

 

You can't tell it was ever painted. That makes me even more likely to try Plasti-Dip. Thanks for the pictures.

Very happy!

 

very excited for mine




in a couple years...

 

Just be thankful you won't have to pay 220 for shipping

 

thats nucking futs!

well. it looks great. enjoy my man

 

That bumper looks awesome. I really like the dipped interior too! That was kinda the lame part of the seat covers. THEY looked awesome but then stuff didn't match anymore. And... It's removable! Truck looks good!

 

Nice build man. Let me know if you ever get a driver side oh shit handle, I've been wanting to do that for a while and can't seem to find the parts.

I too am in need of some more back up lighting. My plan is to get a relentless bed bar and wire up some hella 500ffs back there. You could probably tap into your reverse lights and get the rear hellas to turn on when you shift into reverse if you wanted to go that route

 

Nice truck! Coming along nice, Im about to just pull the trigger and let the mods fly. i cant stand it any more!
