They're doing a group buy now for bumpers.

Installed a pistol safe in my 2015 DCLB. Drivers side, behind the rear seat.

 

Changed up the front.

Thought I’d seen this before and then I remembered seeing this girl:



That fad has come, gone and come back in the street bike arena too. To each, their own...

 

Aluminum is great for weight savings and corrosion prevention, but how does it stack up in recovery situations where you need the strength of steel at the recovery points?

 

temporary mount until my 1up arrives

I just had to do the same thing.

 

I replaced my 12v outlet with a display/smart outlet one and debadged the truck/removed all stickers to the inside of the shell.

 

Broke in the garage today and removed two leafs per pack. While it was apart I cleaned every leaf, removed and regreased all leaf bushings, and used WD40 dry lube in between the leafs.

There was A LOT of dirt and grit and sand in the leafs, because of the fluid film. I’d only used it twice in there to quiet them down and it trapped a lot of stuff. Because of that I’ll never recommend that again, and to use a dry lube.

Before I had a hub to fender measurement of 28”....which is almost a 6” lift. I’m now at 25.5” so back to a 3” lift. Rear end rides a lot smoother and no more driveline vibes, unsurprisingly.

 

Fully metalcore welded everything but the outer lip. Sand blasted and tig welded that outer lip as it was close to the machined edge.

 

I understand why it looks different than mine now, you had them modify it. Gotcha!

Got mine to fit perfect last night. Looks so purdy now

 

Nice to see another person that has to drop the seat in order to haul their mtb around. Its kind of annoying without a dropper.

 

agree with you on that one. roof mounts dont work well when you have to haul a bike in the city and fit in a car park structure

 

Or if you work in the ghetto and need to hide your bike under a camper shell with tinted windows.

 

Flung some paint on a couple of bed bars that I picked up from @GHOST SHIP
2 coats of self etching primer
2 coats of bed liner
2 coats of satin black

 

nice work!

 

Those are HOT! Those might look good on my red 2014. Hmmmmmm.

 

Stage one of the trip done. Milwaukee to Austin, 1423 miles in two days. Now for two days in Austin drinking good coffee and good beer. All I did on the truck today was cleaned a few bugs off!

 

I have the One Up rack, I love it, but it blocks the license plate completely am always afraid to get stop by the police, so I only mount it when am going for a ride and then take it off, it pretty easy to put on and off.
