Iseeredandyellows not much of a build thread

After an 8 month deployment I picked up a used 2010 DCSB TRD off-road with 30k on the clock.

The day we picked it up


The came 5100s 285s and some ocotillo wells runs




Then came some fiberglass and a sweet bumper built by Jeff (jeff_orz)




Then at 41k miles I decided to order King 2.5 remote resi shocks for all 4 corners and got s screaming deal on some DSM UCAs thanks to Chris (NFS_257) for the help on install




And my two favorite things next to each other

 

Got a color matched grill on today thanks to Reece!

 

Looking good! Can't wait to see more

 

That grill looks super sweet. You should paint the emblem blue to match!

 

looks good man!! hope you and your wife are doing well!

cant wait for dune season to come

 

Very cool Jeff!

 

Jeffe finally made a build thread? Shit where you been all my life? Seems like it's been a while. PS I'm stealing your glass you don't need it

 

Thanks guys. I ordered some method double standards with machined lip too. Waiting on cash flow to get my fenders color matched. John, no!

 

Nice!
Did you change your leaf springs or are those still stock?

 

Still stock and squeaky. Saving for the DMZ kit!

 

I'm thinking a good can of spray paint gets those fenders just the way you want them lol why pay for crazy shit that's just gunna get scratched and chipped to hell

 

I wish I could find my color lol

 

I got some double standards on....

 

Why you gotta copy my rims bro? Haha wish I could made it out tonight it's been a while

 

Thinking about selling my motorcycle to dump some more money into this truck. Any thoughts on that?

 

Personally I wouldn't but it's all up to you I always love riding my moto when I had it but depends on your plans for the truck and how much your trying to get for the bike

 

The bike is a whole different release. If it's paid for for and you use it then keep it. If you turn around and replace it it's gonna cost even more I'm kinda partial to the bike thing though.

 

It's paid. If I keep it I am gonna rip it apart and weld a hat tail on it, another never ending project. I just think I need on project to focus on right now

 

Jeff you must be young. I had an old shovel head with a daytech hard tail frame. (Bar hopper) 104" S&S motor and it was the worse thing I've ever owned. Instead of welding just put some solid struts in first and see how bad it is. Ruins the handling and takes away any chassis performance it has. Sportsters are great bikes and handle really well.

 

This is my third swingarm bike, first bike was a 32 flathead that was as close to original as I could afford, had a pan shovel for a few years and road the wheels of my fxd. The sporty is cool and fun. Cut to peices already. But needs more room for a passenger, so figured since the struts are gone already I would have to mount a sissy to the swingarm and do a free moving rear fender to accommodate a seat large enough for someone. And either way it's gonna be a chunk of change and effort. At this point I'm just trying to get the truck dialed in to hit the dez
