Great looking truck!

 

How did you mount the road shower in the bed? Nice build!

 

Where did you get the rear resi/bump mounts?

 

thank you!

 

I got them from Offroadalliance.com. It’s kings rear bump stop kit. I didn’t want to pay extra for the resi mount tabs so I drilled out the holes on the top of the bump stop and was able to feed a hose clamp through to secure the resi

Thanks! I used the rago fabrication bed rail accessory mounts .

It pushes the road shower out away from the rail so that it clears the diamond back cover. It’s sturdy too, there’s no unwanted movement from it

 

thank you!

 

Very clean!

 

Thinking about pulling the trigger on the King rear bump stop kit -- those appear to be bold on, is that correct?

 

They’re bolt on. You have to drill out the rivets in the frame that hold on the factory bump pad. It’s a total pain in the a**. I used a combination of an angle grinder, drill, and air hammer to get them all out of the frame. Then the bump mount just bolts through

 

Still sounds easier than welding. Thanks!

 

Only diff is one takes a ratchet and a welder to install

 

It’s definitely not that bad and exactly the reason I chose them

 

Awesome suspension setup!

 

Thought I’d share the camping trailer, looking like I’ll have to change out to option 2 on the rxt leaf pack

 

How do you like the sliders? I'm getting myself a set of these for my double cab long bed. They look great

 

The sliders are awesome. Super high quality welds and for the price you get DOM tubing which some others are not for more money. I yes rust oleum bedliner in the spray cans to paint them and it’s held up great

 

Bumper finally came in from SSO
