Eric3187 DCSB Build

Nice man, get those fenders on there and painted and crank up the coils and you will be good to go!

 

the fenders are ready for paint now. so for those curious what hannamenn fiberglass looks like.. here ya go.




just have to add the small piece of plastic under the headlights

will have better pictures up tomorrow when i pick it up hopefully.

 

the guy who is mounting/painting fenders just posted theses pictures.



they will cure over night and then final mount/fitting and wetsand/polish. super stoked

 

and now the truck has painted fenders! the fit of hannemann glass is 'ok' but it is obvious it came out of the mold early










sunday will consist of mounting the spare tire and a yeti cooler in the bed.

 

spare tire and cooler mounted in the bed... will hopefully be able to fit a jerry can for fuel and water back there some how

not much room in a short bed. thats a 285 and Yeti 65 cooler

 

That's a badass setup man! How'd you secure the spare right there?

 

in that picture it is just sitting there, but i went out and bought 3 5,000lb rated flush mount d-ring tie down points, bolted it to the bed and used a 3 way tie down that i bought from SDHQ. i have some 1,200lb rated d rings to mount under the tire to attach a cable lock, and to secure the cooler down.

ill snap more pictures tomorrow when i finish it up.

 

pictures of the exhaust work i had done. 2.5" y pipe into 3"






probably have to redo parts of it if i ever do SUA setup.

deletes rear 2 cats, 18" magnaflow. under 2k rpm its similar to stock sound, over 2k it gets louder but not that bad.

 

went to a Coffee and Cars meet this morning with my friend and then spent the next 3 hours finding random places to screw around at. heres the only video we took


nothing extreme, felt pretty good. speedo was reading about 30-35 mph when i glanced at it

 

went out yesterday dickin around at my friends farm... found the weak spots ha, tweaked inner fenders from bottoming out. need to crank coil overs up about 1.5-2"

heres a video of the suspension.... yes i know the ABS wire is ripped off... and any clumps of "dirt" flying around... well its cow shit.


rear end likes to buck a bit..

 

and just random pictures from over the weekend.

 

Hahaha crank up them coilovers man! Squattin up front!

 

ha ya, i am going to crank them up tomorrow and hopefully wire up the lights.
hopefully have the truck dropped off on friday to get the bedsides mounted/painted if they come in this week..

 

well i am heading out on the road(and off the road) for the next 6+ months tomorrow morning, no more to add as far as the "build" but ill post pictures from various places i visit.

 

Exhaust and truck look great. Any concern with burning out the 4wd actuator with this y-pipe reroute?

 

nah, i ran it hard for a bit to get the temps up then crawled under there and grabbed the actuator, no issue from what i can tell/feel. there is maybe 3" clearance between the exhaust and actuator.

the Doug Thorley y-pipe runs back like this if im not mistaken, and the URD crosses beneath the transmission on the 4wd model. i think ill be alright

 

some pictures from my trip thus far.

 

jeeps in moab looked at me like i was insane following them on some trails in the truck

 

Gotta sub! Was in here way back in the beginning, you've gone a long ways since I last was in here, damn. Nice rig!
