2011 access cab overhaul

Droop check. I'm getting four-wheel blue balls. Can't wait to actually get out use this truck.

 

I got my cab mount chop plated today. It's nice to check one more thing off the list.

 

I still need to take care if my firewall """""

 

Dude I'm working on Neil's job on Corta Madera way in Portola Valley.

 

Went out to the delta this morning. It was good to get on the water.

 

Santa brought me a powertank!

 

how's it tow with that leaf setup?

 

With that small boat it's no problem. The springs are way sufficient since they come from a silverado But with going to 315's and even with the regear to 4.56 it isn't great for towing. I tow my buddies 18' stratos bass boat every once in a while and it strains for sure going up hills. It did this anyways before I changed thing up though.

 

Got a set of spacers to throw on in a couple of days.

 

Worked on the front this afternoon putting on the spacers. It got me off of my frame at full crank. Gonna do the rear tomorrow. I helped a buddy get his sliders up as well.

 

Got me spacers on all corners. The stance looks good. Me likey.
It got me off my frame but put me pretty close to my firewall and cab mount.

 

Lookin good man. Truck is looking mighty wide

 

Yeah it's noticeably wider. It puts the tires where they should be so there is no rubbing. My wheels have a 4.5" back spacing so now with the spacers it is at 3.25" back spacing.

 

How bad did it rub with the 35's and 4.5 BS?

 

It wasn't bad. It touched the frame at full crank. I am really trying to dial it in though. Right now with the spacers bringing the back spacing to 3 1/4" it almost touches my firewall and cab mount. In a perfect scenario I would probably want 3 1/2-3/4" back spacing. Time will tell once I get out on the trail this spring.

 

Dude I'm down to hit up brewer lake in the spring

 

Sweet ride I must say.....

 

Yeah I'm still trying to figure out a weekend. It's a great trail and there are quite a few lakes around to fish.

Thanks. It's a work in progress

 

Just got the powertank filled and setup. Sweet!

 

I have been wanting to get some rear diff armour but the selection is weak and they all look stupid for the 8.4" diff. I decided to start the process of fabbing my own. I like the look of blue torch fab kryptonite armour so that's what I am basing it off of. I have all my template pieces cut and now need to have them transferred to 1/4" plate steel.
