the truck had more airtime in this video than most planes had in the past year


i want one now too...

 

Pretty much sums up whistlin diesel

 

I've learned today there's the fourth in there already.
Won't point fingers though...

 

They are bolt on Cali raised led 25 degree with the kickout

 

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than to be good:

 

I don't think your lucky, I think your calculations were correct. looks good

 

The "lucky" part is the wheels are more inset than advertised. The Konig Six Shooters are stamped 17x8" with 0mm offset. 8" wide rim with 0mm offset should be 4.5" backspacing. These measured to 5" backspacing. This may cause problems when I get spindle gussets. For now it means I'm able to drive around on 35"s with no trimming.

 

I have never heard of that b4. everyone ( which means internet) says you have to cut hear, hit with hammer hear and cab mount chop hear to run 35" tires. well you found the combination, good for you man.

 

Anyone interested in getting in on this group buy/ ship to me in St. Thomas?

with that much angle.... Drift truck?

 

I'd need to do the locker anytime mod first Because you want a spool rear end for drifting, according to what I read on the internet.

 

locker anytime mod going in my rig tomorrow

 

Thing did.
3/4 send.

No usable loading ramps nearby, but I did find a concrete ledge at the back of the mall:



Still getting about 1/4" clearance to the cab mount:

 

Drivers side was definitely chewed, passenger starting. Still only 50% less noise. Brake pads have a good rattle too.

 

Couple things. RCI Sliders.....Gar-Fab....OK eXpedition....Prinsu....AOD Fab.

Lets see.

RCI: 20 degree. Easy install but took me a bit, solo + Jack. Very nice.

Gar-Fab: Hell yes. You should not have missed out on the group buy!

OKX: Affordable option, great quality, perfect welds, painted them because I didn't want bare metal and look great. Very responsive and helpful with any questions through DM too. Would definitely recommend for medium use. Will add the diff skid when it comes out!

Prinsu: Fuck these guys. I should have bought a sherpaEC and supported them instead. CBI in general is whack, but the product is good.

AOD Fab: Dude is awesome, Super high quality, in Canada and affordable compared to US guys. Got Stiffeners and Molle panels....the ultimate tabroma accessory for the accessories. Note: had to cut a bit of the mat for the stiffeners + Molle panels work with Diamondback mounts as shown. Some findangling required.

Takeaway: The 3 Canadians I bought from, OKeXpedition, Gar-Fab, and AOD Fabrication are all great dudes and clearly make quality, competitively priced products. Buy their stuff!

 

Never heard of this "sherpaEC" brand, i assume it's an alternative roof rack to the over used Prinsu?

 

It's just another alternative that I stumbled upon over the years of contemplating a Prinsu - honestly they make a really good product from the looks of it, very similar obviously but lots of great available options within their product lineup. They look great and if I ever sell the prinsu I'll get one for sure. US$$ was just a couple more than I wanted to spend, I ended up getting the prinsu for less directly and shipped than buying it in Canada.

Still happy with the Prinsu!
