+SconnieHailer's Build & BS+

Looks good. Adding my shell is my favorite thing I have done to the truck. Completely changes the look

 

Ehh he doesn't shed super bad. On par for a lab. I'll probably still use the crate for most trips because he can brace himself better in there on the trail. Short drives he'll roam free!

 

This thread always makes me want to buy more....

 

Can't be worse then two labs haha hopefully won't be an issue. But youlol just want to clean it before sleeping in it anyways

 

Saving these pics for later.

 

i like where this is going..

 

Best and simplest cross coil bucket brace I've seen. Just have to cut an rch out of the inner fender to slip that tube down. Dirt designs does it right! That's on Joel's truck (mobarmor) with dirt designs race kit up front.

 

Thats exactly what I wanted to have done!

 

So, what the benefits to that? Keep the coil buckets from busting off? Or does it keep the frame from twisting thru corners?

 

Keep coil buckets from bending inward.

 

Im surprised it clears the hood like that. Nice. Looks simple enough to do

More importantly it keeps the frame from twisting in haha

 

Yea pretty sure Joel has a stock hood. Same thing...coil bucket/frame

 

Stut tower bar. Giggity.

But no worky with my turbo.

 

Yea only really works well with stock motors

That's a tight fit with the kennel and CO2! I am thinking about selling the CO2 and getting a compressor just for the ease of it being out of the way.

Just food for thought...if you get 315's you could "justify" selling the CBI rear and getting a pelfreybilt swing out . The truck looks so different without the rack/rtt.

 

Marc to jen "Yea so im going to get 35s for the truck"

Jen, "Oh thats great babe! Won't cost too much will it?"

Marc, "No its just a tad more then what i was going to do, gears and stuff are all the same price anyways"

Jen, "Great!"

Marc,"...yea..excpet my spare won't fit any more..so i will need a new rear bumper. Its no biggie. Just another 2 grand..."


Jen, "WHAT!?!"

 

It's not 2 grand . Around $1500 but he can wait for the tax season discount and drop the price a bit. Sell the CBI to cover most of the cost. Totally worth it .

 

yea i didn't know the exact price. But that'll be a hard sell to the mrs...haha

But you are right. Only be about 3-500 bucks once the CBI sells. maybe less

 

Haha, glad you guys can help so much!

It looks tighter than it is in that picture for sure, the kennel is not all the way back and its not all the way over on the drivers side. Co2 doesnt take up that much room in there. Idk guess you'll just have to all see it some day.

I'm not cutting more out of my bedsides. If I get a swingout it's gonna be a cbi, maybe just add it on to mine.

yea it looks totally different without the rack and tent even over just the bare bed.

Actual quote from Jen today leaving the grocery store:

" whats wrong with your rear tire? It looks so tiny, theres so much room above it in the wheel well!" I replied, yea i'm getting 35's next! To which she says "haha, thats a good one..." This tire thing is a tough decision
