DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Yup, CBI T3 high clearance w/swing out. Appreciate the offer for help. I should be ok if I get the jack. My buddy was going to help but had family emergency and has to leave town on thursday. My dad should be able to help and with a jack I think it should go on pretty easy. I'm going to try and get the truck cut up friday night and then mount and install the swing out early on saturday before it gets hot.

 

Remember to tape off and cut less than what you need, you can always trim more

 

Did you get the Trail Toys better edge trim from @SMKYTXN ? That's a must

 

Yup I've been looking at the instructions they emailed me today and planned on cutting a little less off than what they say to start. I want to make sure to leave enough space between the bumper and bedside that when i hit it I dont crumple my bedside like I've seen happen to others.

I'm going to use the trim they sent with the bumper to start. If I dont like it or it doesnt work well I'll order the trim from trail toys.

 

Coit & Plano pkwy. The guy I use there is Chris I think.

 

That’s going to be killer!

 

Carrollton was not as nice....a few guys down my street had busted out windows.

 

I'd like to, depends on when. I'm supposed to being heading out west to see the family soon (having set the exact date yet) and I've been swamped at work. I haven't had a day off in two weeks.

 

Sweet, I'm going to give them a call.

Talk this guy down on price and buy it and SAS this truck and then sell me one of yours that you have.







So that I am not tempted to myself...

 

Anyone headed south on 35 in the near future? I have some parts that need to go to Austin area for @ryanbitt

 

Im not 100% sure when ill be going but ill be going down there within the next month or so guess it just depends on how fast he wants the stuff.

 

I saw that one, I don’t care too much for the extended cabs in that year. Only thing I’m not attached to is my 13 AC

 

Yea, the AC isn't too bad, kinda of weird looking, but workable as a crawler... but shortening the bed, no doors, exocage, etc.... doubt the AC would even matter at that point. Ha.

 

I bought a snorkel! It was a good sale almost bought a compressor too, but didn’t realize it ended at 7.

Hell yeah!!! Your going to love it. It took 3 of us to mount mine, it’s a hefty sumbitch. Cutting and putting together the swingout are the most time consuming. I used the edge trim CBI provided been holding up well so far. Going to look great!

 

I agree Jake.

Hot Spings is hands down the best place to rescue a drunk MF'er, his fat wife, and 5 kids. 8/10 would go again.

 

I’ll be driving through to canyon lake. Willing to help out if it’s easy for me as I’ll have a boat in tow the 22-25

 

We found someone but thanks for the offer

 

I have something that needs to come from @Texoma in Round Rock/Lago Vista to me in Fort Worth, but isn’t worth the money to mail.

If anyone is making the trip, I’d appreciate the help.

 

Hmm your making me question if I'm planning well enough to get this install done. Right now the plan is to do it in my parents driveway before it gets too hot since no garage space is available. I still haven't decided if I'm going to use a jig saw with metal blade or a cutting wheel for the bed sides.
