15 dcsb 6spd slow progress

Hello TW.

I've been lurking on tw for a while now. originally started off with serveral 5spd toyota pickup reg cabs. then upgraded to a 01 5spd access cab. finally saved enough $$$ for a new truck(old now)


When I picked her up at the dealer, back in 12/2014



3 mile on the clock. (forgot to snap pic, after 30 mile drive home)


not much happen to the truck in the next 2 year. I've been temporary relocated to work in san diego for a few month. patiently waiting for great deals. Slowly build up a small stash of parts.

beautiful welds!

they cleaned up nicely with a wire wheel, added some por15 coating on them.

finished off the por15 coat with bedliner spray.

I realized that my king 2.5 had the wrong spring rate. I have to wait for the correct suspension to come in the mail before I tackle the front setup.

Mean while. I did the rear suspension today, Its 70% done, I still need to bring the truck to a welder to burn on the bamf relocation kit, and install king shock.
Rear setup was pain the ass to install by yourself. the dakar leaf were very very heavy to lift into place. After I muscle it in place, I used the mini jack to fine tune the leaf to align the bolt holes.. made sure not cross thread the nuts&bolts.


torque
Ubolts 75 ftlb
leaf shackle nuts&bolts 89ftlb
wheel 85ftlb

 

washed the truck today, decide to practice shooting tonight.

 

Clean truck

 

thanks louis!
