My Never End Build

So I took the taco for some testing yesterday, new kit is amazing!! So big difference!! Everything went well no surprises. Just that I was going around 90 mph on some big whoops and didn't saw a big turn hole and next to it a little sand mountain, so when I saw it tried to go up hill so the hill stopped the truck and my right rear tire stayed in the air causing the truck to not move lol. Fortunately a little raider passed by and gave us a little pull.





Truck calling for help lol









Got some scratches because of that bush but mehh, truck is getting new paint soon

Took it for a wash after, well deserved



Also lost another center cap, anyone know if they sell just the caps?

 

Went to ORW and they wanted like $28 a cap and had to special order them. One of mine fell off last time I went out, I say you just run them without any. I know when all mine break off I'm not buying new ones

 

I'll try contacting method directly if not I'll buy this custom CNC machined center caps I found at a raptor forum.



''The caps could be anno'd black red blue or left raw machined to match the machined method wheels. The engraving could be done within reason to whatever you desire.''

That being said I'll maybe tell him to engrave method or TRD

 

You make em too?

 

LOL - No, I saw that in the link on the forum.

I have been trying to find someone to make Aluminum CNC'd caps for my Spyderlock bead locks. You spend a fortune for wheels only to have them cheapened with simple things like plastic caps.

 

By the way, the MCNEIL TROPHY TRUCK BEDSIDES, are they flat topped? Or is there a distinctive hump in them? I ask, because I wanted to see if a topper would fit on one. Might look funny though.

 

McNeil makes a flat top but the trophy truck ones have a hump.

Flat Top

I believe McNeil only has flat top short beds right now and for long beds its trophy style. If they have enough interest they can probably start making flat top rears.

 

I have a short bed. Anyone ever put a topper on these bedsides?

 

Yeah don't get it why they cheap on the center caps, they should come with some better ones.

Mine are the hump ones but they also have flat top.

He doesn't make short bed with humps anymore?

I have seen a couple flat tops with toppers

 

They still make the TT short bed, I'm a long bed and I want the flat tops.

 

Call method direct and you can get center caps. Talk to a guy named Wally. Also the trick to the center caps is pull two of the fake screws out and put a real bolt in there

 

The fake screws are removable?

 

Yeah just twist them and they should pop out

 

So I took some good close up pics while waiting for the tank to fill up, got a little excited haha

More like a 360 lol

 

Gas station foto shoot lol

 

Getting some sponsorships from kendal motor oil and JAZ products in process

 

Most shells won't work with glass bedsides. The top rail is much wider than the factory bedrail. Would require a lot of modification to the shell to properly sit on top of the bedside.

 

I've seen that they make some mounts for the shell only so it doesn't sit on the fiberglass so it does't crack em
