NC15TRD's Build

This is now just a BS, keep track of my Silverado and Commander thread. 2016 crew cab LT Z71 Silverado, 2015 Can Am Commander 1000XT




My new build for my 2015 DCSB TRD Sport 6-speed! Going to try to do things right the first time on this truck haha Plan is to have it setup and ready for my favorite activities like kayaking, camping, ATV riding, hunting, and showing off in front of the ladies. I'm the most indecisive person ever so I'll probably list 10 things I want and buy something else haha

Nicknamed: "The Dark Knight" by my youngest sister. (She named my '10 the TuRD)

I thought you said you were going to do things right? But you're using light racing uca's?


Take a look at the zodi extreme camp shower.. I'm probably going to buy one.

 

Sub'd to not comment because surely no one comments on Nick's threads

 

Probably only because he pulled them off the old truck

 

Scrap em

 

Thought I've been seeing you in a new truck!, what the hell happened to your old truck? Pics don't look good, new truck does though!

 

Honestly, I have the newest version of LR arms out there. I have had absolutely no trouble with them whatsoever and that's why I'm keeping them. Plus, around here with the brine water they spray on the roads, a sealed ball joint is the only way to go. I'll check out that shower! I think I saw you link it in your build or the BS thread.

And you get the first of this thread!

Bingo

As I said, like the sealed ball joints. It's only costing me $120 to throw new ball joints in these for now. If/when I decide to upgrade, I'll be going TC for sure. I'm enjoying the 6-speed a lot! Going to swap the trans fluid to Redline MT90 at the first oil change and get a Hurst shifter at some point

I kept waving to you when I was running my dad's Silverado or my sister's Corolla and I figured you didn't realize it was me haha I ran their vehicles for almost 4 weeks til I got this one last Thursday. I got hit heading home from work on craft day (I wasn't at craft day). And thanks! Definitely enjoying it!

 

Just teasing

 

Subd. Build threads are so much easier right from the start

 

Yes! haha I always wondered why you waited so long to start yours!

 

We'll glad to hear every worked out and that you weren't at craft day! Lol

 

Lol Craft day is the one day I run away from town as fast as I can!

 

Ordered a wheel to replace the one lost in the crash. Here we go!

Will get a new 295 Cooper when the wheel gets here

EDIT: also PM'd a few vendors about all the suspension parts!

 

Sub'd for a fellow NC native. Need moaaaar pictures! Sounds like a nice rig. Also going to a MT set up on my 6 speed.

 

Lol NC are my initials not North Carolina! Certainly agree on moar pictars. Gonna bathe it when I get off work and I'll post a couple fresh ones!

 

You'll have to tell me how those wheels handle the road salt this winter

 

Fail

 

They better handle it perfectly because I'm going to plastidip them before that shit starts!
