TacoMEDIC's (JKU) Build and BS thread (3rd Gen Sold)

Cmc and trim plastic. That's what I did

 

I had to trim some plastic in the back of the fender well also. I'll take a clear picture tomorrow and post it here. As far as and rubbing when off-road, I haven't had any issue since the CMC. That said, I haven't had it in a situation where it was really stuffed yet. No rubbing under normal use though.

 

Nice build bro! In the pics, where did you go off roading? Question about your softopper. What are the pros and cons? Is it water proof? Can I leave things in the bed without worrying about someone breaking in? Have you sept in it while camping?

Where was that? Big Bear?

 

This pictures were taken between Apple Valley and Big Bear in Coxey Canyon.

The Softopper is awesome. It is waterproof. Goes on and comes off easily. Looks awesome in my opinion. You could leave things in the bed. They would be out of sight being under the Softopper, but if someone was determined to look around and get your things, all it would take is a knife. I haven't slept in it yet, but thats part of the reason I got it. I will be sure to report once I do.

Rim of the World. Between Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead.

 

Sweet! Thanks for the response. Yeah keep me posted when you get the chance to do some truck bed camping. Im hoping when you do you will have no issues.

Oh before I forget, how much was your softopper?

 

Just over $800 shipped with the optional cover and screen rear window.

 

copy that.

 

What are your thoughts on the King Coilovers compared to the OEM ride? I'm considering these or waiting for the ARB/OME Coilovers to come out. I'm sure the Kings are a little more stiff daily driving correct?

 

They are a little stiffer than the stock ride during daily driving, but not nearly as much so as I thought they would be. Obviously, off-road, the ride is night and day. Can't even compare it with stock. Very pleased overall.

Keep in mind that I chose to go with 600lb springs instead of the heavier 650lb and 700lb options.

 

very nice. Did you run the wheels/tires before the lift ?

 

How are you liking the Kings?

 

No. Couldn't have fit them in before the lift.

 

Couldn't be happier with them. Good ride on the road. Great ride off road.

 

Cool, yeah I'd definitely do that spring as well. Man I'm having a hard time waiting lol.

 

I am installing the exact same on my truck, but will be putting a hidden winch up front too. I am wondering what springs I should go with; 600lb springs, or the heavier 650lb or 700lb options?

 

I'm very happy with my choice to go with 600lb springs. If you're adding weight up front, go with heavier springs. I plan on switching down the line when I'm done with my build. With skids, bumper and winch, I'll probably go 700lb springs. If you're not going to add that much weight, maybe go 650lb. Frankly, it's preference. Hope that helps.

 

Is this the correct specs for the wheel Method NV? Specifically the bolt pattern:

 

ooo are you a supervisor???
