2011 Pyrite Mica LT Build & BS

For the rear shocks? They are mounted in the stock location, had to trim a bit of the shock bucket for the remote reservoirs. Front shock are in the stock coil buckets with TC gussets and Camburgs bypass shock tube

 

Just installed a Bird Dawg Ind Tech Deck. Have a mount for the cellphone and tablet. Digging it so far!

 

So this happened today...

 

And the 37's are finally on!

 

Should be picking the truck up Saturday then it's off to ECGS for some 4:88's and ARB's

 

Took a ride with the wife and pup today

 

Beautiful truck

 

Thanks man!

 

Got some shackle mounts welded to the frame rails

 

37's FTMFW

 

Sic ass truck!!!!!!!

 

A little info on my experience fitting the 37's. I had originally planned on taking the truck to East Coast Gear Supply to get the firewall recessed as well as 4:88's and some ARB lockers. ECGS was nice enough to let me ship my MTR's to their shop to save on freight shipping. I spoke with Curtis at ECGS and he told me to bring the truck by. After dropping the truck off I got a call from Curtis saying they didn't feel comfortable cutting into the truck as much as was needed to properly clear the 37's. (Which I found very professional, seems like now a days most shops would have done their best and left me with a sub par product.) Curtis at ECGS was even awesome enough to recommend a new fabricator to me and meet me on the weekend to pick the tires and truck up.

Which leads me to Scott at Metalwerx Offroad in Hickory NC. From the first phone call with Scott he was super friendly and personable. He also went out of his way to meet with me and talk about the truck on his day off. During the process of fitting the 37's he stayed in touch and sent me tons of pictures of the progress. He ensured the 37's fit, full bump and lock (both inboard and outboard) Labor price was beyond reasonable, as I'm sure he has more hours in the truck than I paid for. Scott even offered to help sell the old tires.

Overall I'm very pleased with Scotts work and my experience with both Metalwerx and ECGS. I'd recommend both shops to anyone.

Truck looks badass bro! Good job and keep it up. Can you post up any additional photos of the firewall plating? Did you have to tub the tops to? It looks like it's been welded up top but can't tell if that's just reinforcement or you had to cut and tub up there. Any info/photos will be helpful. Thanks!

Nate,

Thanks man. Yah Scott had to tub the upper inner fender as well. Not much but enough to where it would rub in a couple places at full bump/lock. Those are the only pics I have of the tub job, but you can see where he removed material in the full wheel well shot.

 

Got this in the mail today!

 

Such an insane build! Kudos to you sir!!

 

Took the old lady to get her concealed carry. Turns out after only shooting three times in her life she's a damn good shot!

 

Made my first Kydex holster the other day

 

For what I hear, women are naturally good shots. More excuse for us men to buy more guns & ammo to practice lol

 

I already told her I need to get to the range, can't have the old lady as the best shot in the house!
