Defined LT is in, bed cage is 50% of the way there.

Pretty confident in the install, best welding I've ever done (pre-heated things and spent a lot of time on prep).

Thanks for the advice

Haha looks like ill never fix it then

I'm just gonna buy another radiator support for $60 off rock auto and plate it up some, so it doesn't happen again.

 

Do it like Matt's and keep the bed , such a pia to try to strap coolers and stuff in the Bedcage !

 

I'd run it on my truck

I think it would look good on a white truck

 

Titanium dawg, TITANIUM!

EDIT:
Some days I'm glad I have the bed, some days I'm not. It's noisy and full-bed cages look so sweet. It's fairly easy to make a spot for something such as coolers or gas cans on a full bed cage.. But you never know what life is gonna throw atcha'

 

Cantilever. FTMFW! Room for coolers and bitches. Lots o bitches

 

True this!!! I'm pulling around 17" of travel and still have about 98% bed space. I love the canti!!!

 

Lets see some pictures! I've got my Defined springs just sitting there waiting on me to figure out how I want to do my bed cage.

 

What am I missing here? Show race fuel cell and an optional metal case and only $300 new? I know I'm missing something...

Finally!! Engage kit installed, praise the lord. 2 problems tho,need new rims cause not enough backspacing since I have stock rims. Solved tht temporally with wheel spacers. Second problem when I turn the wheel all the way it the buttom plate hits the bolt holding the brake line to caliber. First time we didn't realize this and I did a u turn and lost braking cause it hit and caused it to leak

 

gabe i'll have some ar 172s with 4.5 bs for sale in i hope 2-3 weeks when i ge my truck back. i'll sell em cheap.

 

Just checked the near the back of my cab and its split wide open. I can see my extra tie straps that are in the extra storage spot under neath the back seat taking my truck down to a buddies shop with some metal 3/16ths sheet I have and flattening/welding/plating the front core and cab

 

have any of you guys had to deal with shock shaft rust?

 

Never heard of them, but by the time you add the metal can and extra fittings ( it looks like there's only one on it, you need 3) you could almost buy a JAZ

Either way I wouldn't recommend a fuel cell on a DD

 

The price listed is for the poly "inner". Add the outer container in the options and you're at the price for a legit fuel cell. Better off keeping your eye out for a used "legit" cell somewhere. I would guess you could probably get a Jaz cell from somewhere like ORW for $300 ish.

I know everyone seems to say this about every part, but there are some things I probably wouldn't want to skimp too much on and a fuel cell would be one.

 

surprisingly i havent. only issue ive run into it the actual bodies rusting.

 

My fox shafts are rusting before the bodies even dull

Sent DSM an email but I figured you guys know your shocks

Idk what to do that won't fuck them up more haha
