Here it is the day I brought it home. Had 17 miles on it when I left the dealership


75 miles later it came home with new shoes and standing a little taller (and some side steps to help the wife get in)


When I bought the truck, I convinced the dealer that I needed a Sport hood and it finally got installed by the dealership


Got some tailgate inserts


The axe and shovel mounted in the bed


Internet pic of the wheels. I can’t seem to take good pics of them


This is how the truck sits to date.





Hopefully a lot of stuff will come soon so I can keep updating this thread regularly. Trying to keep it mild looking yet capable on the trail

Let me know what you guys think

 

Nice work. Rigs looking good.

 

Looks great! Did you do the tailgate inserts yourself? Getting them this weekend. Great wheels!

 

I did. I ordered them from Eyecatcher on Amazon. They lined up perfect. Super easy to do

 

That wheel and tire combo looks awesome with the cement!

Any rubbing issues?

 

Thanks!
So far I haven’t had any rubbing issue. I haven’t had it at full stuff/ lock yet but I’m pretty conscientious about it. I’ve done some moderate wheeling and haven’t rubbed yet

 

That's really impressive, actually. Congrats!

 

Only a few more days until I get home!!!

Items waiting in the garage for me to install:
CaliRaisedLED 42” slim light bar
Prinsu Cabrac
Rigid D2 Pro ditch lights
6kLED ditch light brackets
DMM with lots of mounts
Blue Sea fuse block
Tonneau Cover
Bumper covers
CaliRaisedLED bed stiffeners

My Warn M8000 with wireless remote and synthetic line showed up but my C4 Fab bumper wont be done until next month

 

Truck looks great!

Does the Cali 42" lightbar fit the Prinsu's 40" cutout without modifications?

Is it the one linked here:
https://caliraisedled.com/collections/slim-bars/products/42-slim-single-row-led-bar

 

Yep that’s the one. Crazy thing is, the lightbar is still shorter than the cut out

 

OK, that's really odd. I've been shopping 40" bars without much thought given to their length and the size of the opening on the Cabrack, but it now sounds like I probably need to be a little more precise with the selection.

Did you happen to measure the actual length of the lightbar and/or the opening on the rack? Also, what brackets did you use to attach the bar to the rack?

 

I did not actually measure it. I emailed CaliRaisedLED about it and they claimed this was the perfect fit for the Prinsu (which it is). CaliRaisedLED sells mounting brackets specifically for the Prinsu that you have to order separately

 

Awesome info, thank you!

 

DMM done

 

Hopefully the ditch lights can get installed today. Not sure what the wife has planned but hopefully I get a few moments before I head back to work in ND tonight

Merry Christmas everyone

 

Got the ditch lights installed. Still trying to figure out a good placement (aiming) for them

 

Ugh. Sitting here in ND while my truck is back in WA. Can’t wait to get home and play

 

Truck is looking like its ready for action when you get back! Nice wheel choice they are pretty similar with what I went with.

I'm gonna havta look into that axe & shovel mount. Nicely done & handy!
