Nice truck

Tell us more about Alaska

 

thanks man, looking to do more mods soon.


better pack a parka, carhartt or more. its below freezing temperatures these days. haha... i miss SoCal now.

 

How’s cost of living up there ?

My bff (born and raised in Newport Beach), moved up there 3 years ago on a 36 month contract

Just renewed another three years

Making 3x the money he was in so cal

 

everything is relatively more expensive living up here. you have to input the fact that we have to ship everything up here. someones gotta pay for that stuff. we as the consumers are paying for that. but no tax! so what you see on the tag is what you're paying!

I lived in the city of Orange prior to this. so its a huge jump.

 

He said state gives money end of the year from oil profits or something

He was a cardiac anesthesiologist at UC Irvine before taking AK job

Since he moved up there, buys expensive sports cars left and right from Park Place in Seattle and ships them up

 

Yeah i hear its called a PFD. You have to be living here for a year and be registered to their residency policy blah blah..

 

State money = truck mods !

 

You asked for slider suggestions. I looked and looked and looked and found several reputtable companies. I waited anout a month and found a group buy that reduced price 20% that paid for shipping. Expect shipping on sliders to be 150$ so factor that in. I’d wait for a group buy to cover cost of shipping. But most companies on here are all good companies.

I went with sos concepts for about 600$ out door with group buy

 

Update! March 5th 2018!

 

I don't think you have mentioned what tires and size.

 

sorry sorry! its 285-75-R16! Falken At3w's!

 

Looks great. Cab mount chop?

 

not yet. this summer. i dont have time right now.

 

I keep coming back to your truck, my friend. I tried the 5100s on the 1.55" lift notch. Hated the ride cause it was so stiff. Unlike many, I am a fan of the way the Off Roads ride stock. LOVE that plush feel. How does yours do with the 887 coils? And finally, how much lift did you get with your setup? Thanks in advance for any answers. Your truck looks so damn good!

Regarding those rock sliders. You really cant go wrong MobTown. What I like about them is all DOM tubing and a great engineered c-clamp that adds strength to the bolt to the frame system.

I like the ride stiffness. its between stiff and spongy. i got 2.25'' up front and 2'' in the rear. thanks again dude. I plan on doing 6112/5160 with HD dakars sometime in the future..
