Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

would that be a metric tonne, eh?

 

Obviously

 

I always thought it was just the cab moving, but ain’t no way it’s moving that much, especially with poly bushings. I’ve fought with the idea for a while, but I’m about to put a shell on and unfortunately probably the swing out back on. Trying to plan ahead for the added poo factor.

I had to put 27,000 envelopes under my tonneau cover and fill up my back and passenger seats today. Common occurrence when it rains and not ideal. I could use some more dry storage…

 

FYI. When looking at load bearing tools etc. (T) is Imperial. (t) is metric.

 

Didn't know that!

 

Always a good time talking to JD Fab.
Course between shop noises and noise from my work makes it interesting on introductions.
Timing of LT kit should line up with front CO arrival

 

Anybody ( @kasnerd @snowsk8air2 ) wanna be a gem and shoot me some reference pics of your slide rack install? Texted @81Trekker but it seems like he's working or something and can't be bothered. Just doing the install for the first time on a customer truck (ended up selling him my personal truck's kit, so I need to re-order...) and just want to make sure I have this somewhat right. I think I do, but no harm checking. I usually like to do this stuff to my own truck first to make sure i have it 100% dialled but no dice this time around.

I know I know, it's in the thread, look harder, whatever, I don't have time.

I got nothing from during the install, but they emailed me some pics. Pm me your email and I’ll forward what I have

 

@Airdog ftw. lemme know if you want bougie glam shots of anything. Vaseline lens effect no extra charge.

 

Oh amazing, that's perfect. Thanks so much. I had it right, but glad to confirm before cutting up a 2019 truck. Also just did the LCA pivot kit and rear shock relocation/hammer hangers on a truck with less than 1000km on it. Can't help but be a little nervouse cutting stuff off the frame of a brand new truck!

I will say that doing the LCA pivots on such a new truck was a breeze compared to doing it on my old shitty clapped out and bent frame.

 

Are you installing the slide rack on a 3rd gen?

 

Oh right it doesn't fit on those does it.

I'm going to see what I can do....

 

I was just about to ask. I thought it didn’t fit due to oil filter.

 

Keep me posted, I'm excited to see how it goes.

 

it won’t fit

 

Fair enough. I just had it here and the guy asked and I got all excited and forgot about the oil filter. I'm doing the lca pivot and the 934's anyway, so all that stuff is cut. Just trying to figure out steering, because the tie rods hit the coilovers, even in the furthest back position.

I'm guessing the slide rack contacts the bottom of the engine itself from the looks of it

 

Stock tie rods?

 

On the long travel, the stock inner

 

That’s surprising to hear
