Eric3187 DCSB Build

ordered some wheel spacers and front bump stops, will be ordering a mesh grill of some sort soon and installing 2 21" LED bars behind the grill using BAMF behind grill light mount.

sliders should be shipping out this week or next and will install those as soon as i get them

will probably pick up new tires towards the end of october

 

You ever find a bumper?

 

i am building a bumper when i am back in texas for a little bit in december, i used to work at shrockworks so ill be making one of their bumpers and throwing on a winch.


picked up the blitzpro lights today from the post office...
initial impression, appear to be a well made product, the powder coating was chipped in one small part but is nothing to complain over.

have yet to put power to them but will probably be cutting the grille next week in preparation for install

 

paid for the sliders today so they should be packed up and shipped out today or monday. rather stoked about that!

should have made them myself when i worked there (shrockworks) but oh well, got a smoking deal either way

 

That's awesome man. Building that stuff is fun and more meaningful but somedays it's like beating your head against a wall. Lol well for me sometimes. But yeah build it that way it's more in original.

 

Get some pics up when you get it all built and installed.

 

for sure will! i should hopefully have my own mod day next weekend when i install sliders, led light bars and spidertrax spacers.

 

went on a adventure yesterday with my friend and his dog to the old town of St. Johns by montezuma, had NO IDEA where we were in relation to anything after we crossed 5 ridge lines but then ended up on webster pass and will be going back to do radical hill before the snow comes

12500 ft up


one of the trails


EXTREME! haha


mountain goats.... they dont like goldfish.


just ordered a grille craft mesh grill, this coming weekend is scheduled for 15k maintenance, slider install, grill, LED light bars, wheel spacers installed. hopefully ill have the lights wired up then as well.

 

Hell yeah man! Moving right along with your build. Are you gettin rid of all the chrome?

 

nope, chrome doesnt bother me, i will be pulling off the emblems though as they just collect dirt around them.

but after this swing of events, spending will cease for a while other than bumpers/winch which ive already put aside money for. and hoping my friend will come through with his hook up on tires.

 

sliders installed tonight, just have to drill one more hole and slap a bolt in there and its done. wheel spacers will go on tomorrow night as well as finishing the last bolt.

pictures will be up tomorrow or sunday.

 

Post up pictures.

And for old time sakes, heres some of Eric's old rides he has built.

 

damnit kyle, i try not to look at that ranger any more... wish i still had it haha.

ill go take pictures today.

 

found out that 5/32" tread sucks when there is ice on the road, so i have some tires going on this friday. going to give Cooper ATP tires a shot, reviews all seemed positive and the price is right!! going with 285's on factory TRD rims. still waiting on the arrival of my grille, so hopefully soon i will have the LEDs installed once the grill gets here.

 

Grillcraft Grill, Shrockworks Sliders, Spidertrax Spacers, 285s Cooper ATP installed.

 

Looks good!

 

thanks! i just need to get the cab mount chopped, and clean up my super quick hack job on the lower fender since the guys at discount found it it rubbed real quick and called me back to either continue turning the wheel and ripping the fender flare or cut it off with a knife.

hopefully i can locate a welder out here asap, or atleast a sawz-all to cut the cab mount

 

I dont know about a sawzall, It would be way easier with a grinder with a cutoff wheel.

 

ha ya probably but i dont like sparks.. i look like a junkie with all the burns from hot metal shavings landing on my arm... im not smart enough to put on long sleeves haha
