Deeezy's Locked Sport Grocery Getter Build

I have a 3-leaf AAL and I left my overload leaf in. My rear hasn't sagged any yet and I have my full size spare and a big container of water in the bed to try and help it sag some.

 

Cab Mount Chop plates ordered from BAMF today. No rubbing as of now but I figure I might as well chop it anyway. Clearance for the future.

 

35's inbound!!...

 

Maybe in the very far away future

 

What did you do (rust prevention-wise) to protect the frame after drilling it for your sliders? And may I use your frame drill when I get my BAMF sliders??

 

Welcome to the club!...lol That drill will come in handy! Just some rattle can with primer-paint combo will do. That's what we used...

 

I didn't quite get them yet but soon enough.

 

10 or 20 degree?

 

I'm rubbing with my 285's and AllPro uca's. You lucky guy. That's why I'm doing my cmc after work on Saturday. Your trucks turning out very nice.

 

I'm not sure yet but I want a kick out. I'm sure it'll be useful being that I'm a long bed. I want my gf to be able to use them as steps so I was thinking 10 but I don't want them to stick out past the fenders and tires so much so I was also thinking 20. I don't know... maybe I can check yours out one of these days since we're in the same hood.

 

Thanks. They shipped yesterday. I'm just clearancing them just incase I ever move up a tire size.

 

I can help you drill those holes as long as the drill isn't tied up on the jobsite. Let me know when you need help.

 

I got mine at 10 degrees for my kids but I think the 20 looks better. Now that I have the 10's I think my kids could climb in with the 20's.

 

Thanks a lot! I probably won't see sliders till next year tho.

Yeah I'm leaning more towards 20's. I'll just wait till I make one of the meets to check out what you guys have.

 

You wouldn't happen to have an install thread for these would you? I saw them originally in TacoDane's LED thread but I can't find anything that goes in depth.

Beautiful truck btw! (or else I wouldn't consider stealing your ideas )

 

Thanks man. I basically followed other write-ups that were on "tapping into dome light circuit". There's several write-ups on wiring lights to the dome light dimming circuit. The dimming ground to tap into is in the drivers side fuse panel, behind the coin tray thingy. I think I posted some pictures in tacodanes thread where I tapped into the dimming ground. I used an add-a-circuit on the dome light fuse under the hood to tap into a constant "hot" wire.

 

Pelfreybilt orders are ready to ship out. I'm very stoked

 

Rattle can self-etching primer/paint does the trick

 

Had a blast with the guys at our Peacock Flats outing.


Sliders did their job.




Good Times

 

My Pelfreybilt bumpers came in today. Front bumper and IFS skid installed, rear with swingout tomorrow.
