02 Double Cab Build

Wooohooo new seats. PRPs

 

Those are sick man that is one of the next rings I have to buy!

 

Yeah they are definitely nice I am excited to try them out in the desert. They hold you snug in the seat really well.

 

are most of those carli guys running the stock auto trannies??

 

Negative the only one of my coworkers who still had a stock tranny is currently having it built up. They all have done all the mods to make those things bullet proof. Serious cash but seriously necessary the way they all drive their trucks haha

 

yeah my dads was stock and i swear it was ready to blow haha...he sold it but now wants another one but still wants the shitty automatic.

 

I don't think any of the guys at our shop have manuals but I have seen a couple roll through that we put kits on. Super bad ass. Once the autos are built up though nobody seems to have major issues with them.

 

Looking good!

Do you have any shots of how you secured your shell? Glassworks is making some 7" Bedsides for my double cab right now and I need some idea on how everything will work when I mount them.

 

I do not have any pictures but my shell mounts exactly how any other shell attaches to a bed. I kept the stock bed rails so it is still sitting on a solid surface just with fiberglass bedside sandwiched between.

 

Damn is that your quad???

 

Negative I wish haha. It is a company called www.AerialImageryWorks.com/ they were getting some footage for their website of the truck and the Porsche

 

Ahhh! I hate looking through your build! Makes me want to finish up my truck faster.... Got the bedsides now I just need an axle.

Do you do anything special for you fuel filler neck?

 

I left it in the stock spot for a while. The bedside flair out so much you can fit it in the fender well without putting a hole in the bedside.



After my bed cage was built my friend the turned the filler to face up into the bed but did not cut or extend anything.

 

Here's a pic. Keeping the tailgate was not a problem

 

I saw ur truck the other day in Corona on Compton Ave... Sweet ride man very unique!

 

hows the hardtop holding up in the desert? or do you remove it everytime you go out?

 

Right on thanks dude. I take my pups to the vet right there.

I still take it off. Honestly it would not stand a chance through a big whoop section without any support up top. It flexes too much. Absolutely no problems on local trails and constant daily driving though.
