SUB BUILD:

 

What's up. Nice looking truck, I'll be on the lookout. I live in Ashe but I'm in Boone a lot. We will have to meet up when I get my lift put on

 

Nice looking rig!

 

Nice shot of Rocky Knob.

 

Sub'd. Nice truck mang!!

 

Good looking truck man

 

Thats another "build" i gotta get on as soon as this weather starts getting better it's getting a complete rebuild on the shock and fork and im gonna upgrade to some SLX brakes. I have not been impressed with Avid. Hoping to get out to richlands soon too or head over into TN, Havnt been out there in a long time.

Getting back on topic... I just got my ultragaugr and diff breather parts in, so those should go on soon. Parents suprised me with a spring break in St. Thomas (graduation gift) so im typig this in 80 degree weather on the beach.

Which Avids? I run Elixirs on my demo and love 'em, never had any issues with them. Might go hit up PB&J tomorrow if you're around.
Edit. I just learned how to read, you're in St. Thomas.

 

i think they are Elixer 7s but not a 100% on that

 

just finished up a Sunday of spring cleaning. washed all the salt off and waxed her up for the season. also finally finished installing diff breather, Ultragauge, tierod end, blacked out surrond (that chrome was killing me).

 

went mountain biking at Beech and decided to do some exploring. those 886 coils do not like to flex even with bumper and winch.

 

Dual battery set up - Complete

 

We need to meet!

 

For sure man. i need to get back up the mountains again and get off road. since i graduated though i dont get up there as much as a wish i could. im at the white water center in charlotte almost every day though. hopefully ill be able to get up there to kayak and camp this fall.

 

Oh and i just finished my bed lights and power outlets in the bedside compartments

 

Details on the "in console" holster,

I need a quick go to like that for my G19...

Truck looks good,

 

So i basically just cut a small slit in the bottom of the center console (the width of the steel) and took some right angle steel and algined it underneath the center console where two bolts are and drilled it out so the steel got bolted inbetween the console and the frame. After that i just took an old blackhawk holster and screwed it onto the steel and painted it black. I would take it out and snap some pictures but with the cb and everything in there it is a PITA to get it all back out.

Works really well and i have the option to lock it in there

 

LR UCAs installed. that went a lot smoother than i thought it would. although using channel locks to bend the fender made me cringe a little bit.
