Forty Below Build- 01 DC LT Build

Super slow and not real steady build.

 

1st parts to arrive. URD 7th injector and 2.1 Pulley

 

Looks good! When I was looking for a double cab I really wanted a white one but didn't have an luck finding one locally. Im also very jealous of the supercharger!

 

I was super stoked to find it. Drove 10 hours and bought it after the test drive. Loaded it up and was on my way home.

 

Got these Deaver H70's hoping they will have enough arch to keep me from sagging with a spare, a winch and some fuel and water in the bed

 

Currently waiting on Fiberglass. I had the pleasure of dealing with Glassworks....after 2 months disputed charge w/ credit card.

 

Something to look at.

 

be careful with that "heavy" box down there. Solid start btw

 

Sold the stock radio this week to a TW member. Made $30 after shipping. That whole $30 was burning a hole in my pocket so I bought this. Plan to modify it slightly. Cheaper then having it fabd I hope.

 

Very clean truck!

 

Just Added these to the pile of parts. Went back and forth between these and the solid black ones.

 

All my fiberglass arrived today. Fenders, bedsides and hood. After not getting any results from glassworks. I ordered thru Kartek and they came thru.

 

Started to do some work on the truck. Pulled the factory bumper. Mocked up the bumper. It fit like a glove I couldn't believe it. I never have any luck with stuff like that on the 1st attempt.

 

Pulled a fender. It was pretty simple. I only came across 2 spot welds I didn't expect. No big deal tho.

 

I waited months for my glassworks fenders. Then they sat in my garage for another 2 months. I don't have the time right now to finish them. But I couldn't resist. I mocked one up real quick. Looks like it fits really well. ( no bolts holding it in the picture)

 

Sub

 

Nice truck

 

Didn't get much done today. Sanded down some spots on the frame where the new bumper mounts. Then hit it with the rattle can. Finished up painting all the white areas black.

 

Anyone have any experience painting the front grill? I'm not a fan of the chrome. Any tricks or advice?

 

Pulled the bumper, tail gate and tail lights. Getting close to pulling off the bed to drill out the spot welds, and remove the bedsides.
