02 Double Cab Build

I just bought some hooks from home depot, drilled through the bed sheet metal and bolted the hooks down as tie down points. Simple as that haha

 

I might have to copy your system

 

Clean ass rig my friend!

 

great minds think alike.

 

I got the same set up too

 

Haha well there ya go.

Thanks man right back at ya!

 

Awesome! And they said I was crazy! Looks good, I have my bedsides in storage waiting to go on once I LT the rear on my turck then my shell goes back on and eventually a Flip-Pac.

Would you have any additional shots of how you secured the shell to the bed?
Also how do your rear springs hold up to the weight? I was worried that SUA would not be able to handle the weight+gear...

 

Right on man. As of right now, the shell is only secured by the 6 bolts that hold it down to a standard bed. When I installed the fiberglass bedsides, I left the inside of the bedrails there so it still has the support underneath. Although it is great for on the street and moderate offroading, I doubt it would hold up to a heavy beating like the truck is capable of. When I take the truck out I will be taking the shell off everytime until it is caged.

When I cage the truck, the plan is to build supports to pick up the top of the shell and keep it from having flex at the top. From what I have heard from friends with campers on desert trucks, they like to crack up at the top corners if they are not supported.

As for the weight, I have the 64" leafs and they do not have a problem at all with the shell. It is not too heavy though anyways 2 people can get it off and on no problem.

 

Work truck duties once again. I am very stoked on how well the 64 kit does with the weight. Still a bunch of uptravel with a full load. I recommend it to everyone who plans on swapping out for a wider axle.

 

Street Queen Mode for just a little longer.

 

Generals look nasty

 

Yep they definitely are rad. Just too bad they are unbearable on the street haha.

 

Lol, they look like they would be super loud and horrible in the wet

 

You are spot on there haha. But for the $50 a tire I paid, they were totally worth it for how well they worked in the dirt. Then this happened...

 

Well that's neat

 

Is this on saddleback mountain? ^^

 

It is in north Malibu

 

Skate day. Perfect fit across the 35

 

Just got hired at Carli Suspension this week full-time so the saving has officially started again. Won't be long til she's done. Still just driving the heck out of it.
