Lucky Tucker's Build & BS

So I get board easily and have averaged almost a truck a year (new to me) for the past 5 years. My wife put a stop to that after I got my first NEW truck 2017 TRD Sport DCSB MT. With that being said my brother introduced me to TW and the mod bug bit hard. I don't mind being stuck with this truck as building it is awesome. My son, Tucker, was just born Feb 2018 and I plan to keep it long enough for that lucky son of a gun to take it over, hence the name.

As always there is a lot more planned, just waiting on the funds... Somehow I don't think this will save money from trading trucks every year

I'll keep this updated as I build and wheel... Big thanks to @doorsidedown for all the help so far.

And of course more pics just for kicks...

Bedside stiffeners and Pro shift knob

Icons, JBA's, and AAL FINALLY going on


And you gotta give a little love to those who make our trucks look so good!

 

first!

and dammit, your wife couldn’t wait til your birthday to give you the bed stiffeners!?!?

 

Haha handed me the box as soon as I walked through the door!

 

Looks like a lot of preload. Noticed any problems due to it?

Kinda looks like they were set at what most would set them to - and then you went another 6 or so more threads.

 

That’s about 1.5” of thread showing. Icons max is 2.1” I believe.

 

Not at all. Icon says not to preload more than 2.13 inches for 650lb springs and I'm under 2in on both sides.

The ride is a hair stiffer but I prefer a stiffer suspension. Makes it feel more like a truck to me.

I also kinda had to. At the stock preload it was a touch low in the front.

 

Bro. You have to get your obligatory @ChadsPride like to be official... just sayin.

 

Dammit @ChadsPride where are you!

 

happy birthday bro

 

Thanks man!

 

Lookin good in here!!! ​

 

Thanks brother. Trying to keep up with you!

 

I'd say you are off to one heck of a start!!!

​

 

If he means post count he’s got yeeeeears to go!

 

​

 

Yep... no shot in that category. I'll just try to keep up a good build for the @ChadsPride likes.

 

Good job
​

I think it's a great idea to start a build. Really helps with logging info and also for answering questions without typing it all out again.

What I'm trying to say is, thank you @T4RFTMFW for inspiring me to make my own.

 

BAE.
