    What the heck. Figured I might as well post a build thread since I’ve already done waaaaaay more than I expected with my 2018 TRD OR DCSB Cement.

    Already done:
    Sport hood
    NFab side steps (sold)
    Ready Lift leveling kit
    Toyo RT 285-70-17
    Fuel Wheels Vector in Anthracite
    Relentless Fab axe and shovel mount
    Tailgate inserts
    Front bed rail
    Off brand traction boards
    Angry Beaver shovel
    Dash Multi Mount
    Prinsu Designs Cabrac
    CaliRaisedLED 42” slim light bar
    Trigger Accessory Control System (gave to my dad)
    @eCOOL1 bumper covers
    CaliRaisedLED bed stiffeners
    6KLED ditch light brackets
    Rigid D2 Pro Spotlight ditch lights
    C4 LoPro front bumper
    Extreme LED 20” amber/white combo light in bumper
    Warn M8000
    Synthetic line
    Hefty Fabworks Sliders
    Softopper
    ARB Twin mounted in bed cubby with Expedition Essentials mount

    Baja Designs Sport lights on back of Prinsu


    Coming in the near future:
    RotoPax for fuel and water
    Rock lights
    Real lift kit


    Here it is the day I brought it home. Had 17 miles on it when I left the dealership
    75E1B350-B58C-4BF1-83F4-F4AC6DD9F989.jpg

    75 miles later it came home with new shoes and standing a little taller (and some side steps to help the wife get in)

    When I bought the truck, I convinced the dealer that I needed a Sport hood and it finally got installed by the dealership

    Got some tailgate inserts

    Internet pic of the wheels. I can’t seem to take good pics of them

    This is how the truck sits to date.

    Hopefully a lot of stuff will come soon so I can keep updating this thread regularly. Trying to keep it mild looking yet capable on the trail

    Let me know what you guys think

    That wheel and tire combo looks awesome with the cement!

    Any rubbing issues?

    Thanks!
    So far I haven’t had any rubbing issue. I haven’t had it at full stuff/ lock yet but I’m pretty conscientious about it. I’ve done some moderate wheeling and haven’t rubbed yet

    OK, that's really odd. I've been shopping 40" bars without much thought given to their length and the size of the opening on the Cabrack, but it now sounds like I probably need to be a little more precise with the selection.

    Did you happen to measure the actual length of the lightbar and/or the opening on the rack? Also, what brackets did you use to attach the bar to the rack?

    I did not actually measure it. I emailed CaliRaisedLED about it and they claimed this was the perfect fit for the Prinsu (which it is). CaliRaisedLED sells mounting brackets specifically for the Prinsu that you have to order separately

    Hopefully the ditch lights can get installed today. Not sure what the wife has planned but hopefully I get a few moments before I head back to work in ND tonight

    Merry Christmas everyone
