03 Double cab 4x4 build

Newest addition is some hydro dipping courtesy of Cbass38. Did the entire dash and radio surroundings. Next step is door handles and window switch panels

 

I really dig the A Track on the bed rack! That's on my short list. Tell me how you like it, and do you use it much?

I'm going to LineX the bed and will bolt some down in the floor and on the bed rails.

I also just got the same CBI mount, but I use it for my cb antenna. Just mounted a Uniden 880.

 

I use the tie down rails all the time. If I am offroading I throw my spare tire up there. I have picked loads of stuff up from Home Depot and hauled it both underneath the rack and on top using the tie down system, and I eventually plan on a RTT.

Nice choice of CB! I went with mine for the sole reason it fit in the ashtray spot lol

 

Digging the hydro dipped digital camo theme. Looks good! I've been wanting to get some parts hydro dipped for a while now.

 

A/C knobs. Get them before I go crazy!

 

I really do like the bed rack, but with a second kid about to make her debut I need a topper. No room for the dog, luggage, equipment...

As for the CB, I struggled to find a spot for it, and was very close to getting a 520, but I liked this one and felt that the NOAA was worth it (which paid off last night with tornados in the area). I decided to mount it to the glove box door. It worked perfectly.

 

I have them lol. I had just put it all back together and was getting some pictures before it got too dark.

 

Looking for some input here! I am looking into lift spindles from Solo Motorsports, and I really like the idea of them, but I am not sure if I should keep my current setup (All Pro UCAs, King coilovers) and get the lift spindles, or if I should go with Long Travel. Just looking for Pros and cons of each keeping in mind I fully use my truck for its intended purpose . There doesn't appear to be too big of a price gap from what I can see as the spindles are $1600 plus the factory hubs. Thoughts?

 

The lift spindles do not work with 4wd so I don't think it's worth it. I know they make fabricated 4wd spindles but they do not provide any lift. If you do decide to go long travel let me know cause I would be interested in your coilovers and uppers. Good luck with your decision

 

Solo motorsports have 4wd 3" lift spindles now and they run about $1500. I just want to know performance wise if I should go long travel or lift spindles

 

Are you talking about these spindles?



If so they do not provide any lift. You will definitely get better performance from long travel.

 

I don't think those are them. I spoke directly to someone at solo motorsports and they gave me all the details. I will see if I can find it.

 

Here is the information from the email that was sent to me when I inquired about the spindles.

"You have the main part, the UCAs. However, our 3" liftspindle require a 5/8 bolt and taller (our machined) spacers that sit on the indexed part of the spindle and the underside of the 1" uniball. With the liftspindles you can relax most of your preload on your Kings for a much better ride quality"

Any idea on overall price of long travel? These spindles are around $1600 when all said and done so just wanting to work out how big the price difference is the best option.

(Sidenote: you were right PhdNPrerunners! Those are the spindles)

 

Had a roof rack built and installed by Avid Offroad a couple of months ago and love it! It took a bit of getting used to, but it has been so incredibly convenient to have! Sorry for the really bad cell phone pictures. Will get better pictures soon.

 

Looks kick ass . Taco coming out sweeeet

 

Great idea, you are really handy!

 

In the process of building a drawer storage system for my bed. Not completely done yet, but got a good start on it this weekend and should have it finished in a couple of days. Going to rhino line it once it's complete.

 

Nice choice with the Kreg. Makes for some clean woodworking. Nice truck too

 

Looks like some snow boards will fit there and a trip to Colorado will be in order,
The snow is flying,

 

go ahead and do long travel
