MTNative's '04 DC 4x4 build

Thanks. Your correct, order the set for an extended cab. They fit perfect. Not sure why they don't list them to fit the DC.

 

On my double cab I have the trail gear rear bumper. Do you remember if the rear flares go past where the stock flares are located?. I guess another way to put it is the diameter of the new flare larger than the old fender flare? The trail gear rear bumper comes pretty close to the back of the stock rear fender flare. Thanks for your help!

 

If I remember correctly they are real close to the stock position. You can take a look at post #28 which shows what you will have to cut and the finished product.

 

I have to ask why do you want as low as 4:88s when your running 265s?

 

It was okay when I was running 265s but I'm running 305s now and pulling a trailer with the rhino is killing me on low end and fuel mileage.

 

lol makes more sense now

I plan to go 4:56 for a lil more pull and better city mpg

Well it's a sad sad day here. Have to take the supercharger off as it needs a rebuild. It doesn't look like I'll have the funds to get it rebuilt so back on goes the OEM manifold. May put the S/C up in the shop for awhile and see if I can scrape the funds up to rebuild. If not I may have to sell it.

 

That is a sad Day - BTW, instead of re-gearing i thought of something even better*....ready....here we go........5-SPEED swap

 

Hmmm, yep that could be an option along with a SAS . Now we're getting somewhere.

 

SAS for me wouldn't be for a couple year, i'd have to have the truck paid off + a different DD for work etc.

But now a 5-speed could be sooo sick!!! and RARE as hell. I've seen people who do a 2wd-4wd + auto-manual swap for under 2k. So i bet just a manual swap aint gonna be too insane.

 

Nice truck! I have a daystar 1inch lift, but I haven't put it on yet.. What did you think of it quality wise?
