2001 Double Cab Diesel Expedition Build

Thanks! Here's where I got the tie down system. This is what I ordered... http://www.uscargocontrol.com/Ratch...ie-Down-Systems/Anchor-Point-Tie-Down-Kit-8PC

 

Cool. Glad Low Range hooked you up.

 

Wish low range was that close to me... I just paid $23 for shipping on a axle rebuild kit...

 

They are literally 10 minutes from my house.

I bought my all my suspension stuff when they had free shipping and 10% off. I couldn't pass it up.

 

Damn, I missed out on that deal..

 

as far as i know its still going on.. if u spend 500 u get 5% off order, 1000 u get 10% off the order.

 

I was just about to look!

 

Lol that's why! My order was just $220 lol

 

Dang it! So close but so far.

 

Well, with the rain/snow we are supposed to get this weekend. I don't have a garage so I have to postpone the suspension a week

 

You had me here at white doublecab, and I'm dying to see a diesel swap unfold, sub for future badassery

 

Thanks man. The diesel is the end goal with the truck. There are a lot of other things to do first.

 

But of course! It's just the beginning, Your off to a good start though keep it up

 

So I decided to take a picture while driving (I know, not the smartest). Maybe you guys can tell me if this is normal or not? I think I am getting great gas milage and the truck does not seem to be running high rpm's. I'm pretty sure that the speedo is off since the bigger tires. I guess that I am doing about 75mph.

 

Seams fine, mines a little higher rpms. In 5th gear but I'm a manual

 

Awesome! I really wasn't worried about it. I was curious of what other people were getting. I love this truck more and more. My wife has a Lexus suv (the RX) and I get better mpg then she does. Maybe it helps that I drive 100 miles a day on the freeway.

Oh, I'm probably out for the class tomorrow. My wife and I are going to a bunch of open houses. We are in the process of trying to find a place to buy.

 

Finally got some work done on the truck today. I've start the new suspension instal. Well, it's a little more than just suspension. Here's the list:
OME 882 coils
OME Dakar Leaf springs
OME Add-a-leaf
OME Nitro Sport Shocks
OME Greasable Shackles
Trail Gear 1.5" Extended Greasable Shackles (for when I put on a bed rack and tent)
U-bolt flip kit
OME 10mm Jeep Jk trim pack - I was sent the wrong ones. Once the new ones show up I will pull the front suspension and put this in.
1" body lift
SPC Upper control arms
New lower control arms
New front brakes

I did one side this afternoon and will do the other side tomorrow. Next weekend I'll swap out the rear suspension.

 

Got the rear finished up this past week. Everything went well. I copied BoxRockets design on his shock relocation. I'm pretty happy the the finished result. I'll post some pictures of how the truck currently sits tomorrow. The shocks don't look evenly spaced in the first photo, but it's equal. I took the picture from an angle.

 

Just ordered a 22'' LED light bar. It should arrive saturday. I will post pictures ASAP.

 

subbed, good looking, makes me want to get moving on mine
