TRD_Chris' Super White DCSB Build Thread

December 23rd, 2020
OEM roof rack and a little bit of new color.
I really liked the retro color scheme against the white so I continued that theme in a few other areas. I’ll drive it for a bit and see if I’m happy with the look. If not I’ll just peel it off.

 

Great mods! Thinking of doing the OEM roof rack-- the install looks fairly simple from videos I've seen.

 

Very easy! Just make sure if you’re buying it used that the rack includes the o-ring and square washer that threads into the pivot hinge screw. I learned this the hard way

 

2020 Recap

 

March 27th, 2021
Not much has changed. Removed the stripes on the scoop and gave it a good detail.

 

July 27th, 2021
New timing chain cover, water pump, drive belt, spark plugs, rear main seal, and exchanged every fluid. I’m hoping I can still find the time (and money) to get my suspension done before the winter.

 

August 7th, 2021
Received my 5100’s, ECGS bushing, and Pro skid. Also finished up the upgraded fender liners.

 

August 14th, 2021
Bilstein 5100 and ECGS bushing went on today. Serviced both diffs and the t-case.

 

August 17th, 2021
Installed the upgraded splash guards.

 

Love it! What's the stance look like now? I'm debating a similarly sized tire.

 

Not a huge change in stance after the 5100 install. I drive this truck A LOT for work so I wanted to keep the CV's as close to the stock angle as possible. I set my 5100 on the second clip and gained about .7" of lift. No lift in the rear. Tires are 265/70/17 and I don't rub at all after removing my OEM mud flaps.

 

August 19th, 2021
Subaru Kicker tweeters installed

 

You sound like me. I daily my truck. Got any pics after the lift? Pretty level?

 

Hoping to get some updated pics this weekend with all the new parts installed!

To the naked eye it looks level but I’ve got just about .5” of rake, which I wanted to retain because I’ll sometimes have tools in my bed and I didn’t want to be squatting. I also didn’t want to lift it so much that my tires look small because I still have plenty of life left on these Wildpeaks.

MESO total tails - Stage 1

 

October 22nd, 2021
Picked up a faux TRD Pro knob from eBay. I really like the larger size of this shifter since I usually rest my right hand on the shifter when I drive. Now that I know I like this knob, I’ll start looking for an OEM or *fingers crossed* MESO stealth knob.

 

November 12th, 2021
Ordered the N2 designs remote start, Anytime front/rear camera system, and some sequential mirror signals from Cali Raised.

 

November 15th, 2021
Remote start installed. Super simple plug-n-play install after watching a YouTube video from N2 Designs.

 

November 22nd, 2021
Got everything pre-wired and plugged in for the Anytime front/rear camera.

Installed!

 

November 29th, 2021
Couldn’t pass up the Black Friday sale at Meso. Installed the LED dome light and Gashole since my gas cap leash finally snapped.
