NC10TRDSPORT's DCLB Build

You wouldn't happen to know any truck friendly wheeling spots near you would you

 

Uh we can explore a few trails I know from riding my grizzly. There's a few I've run my truck on before just to play around a little bit

 

Changed out my blown 5100s last saturday:



Good LORD how different new ones look!


And a finished shot:


Ride is much better. Also moved the 1/4" spacer I had on the driver's side to the passenger side and added a 1/2" spacer to the driver's side. Still haven't measured to see what kind of lift difference I got but I think a good chunk would be offset by the different spring seats they use now. The new ones are MUCH thinner.

 

Rust cancer! Spray some fluid film on there

 

Negatives of the salt belt. Gonna start working on it soon

 

Sold the Pelfreybilt last week to PantherTaco.
Last pic on my truck:

Now onto deciding what size tars to put on this bitch!

 

could go with a 285/75/17?

 

I'm pretty stuck on the ST MAXX and they aren't offering that size. Either 285/70 or 295/70

 

go with 285

 

Yeah not enough gains to make the 295 worth the extra 6 pounds each and the extra chopping. Trying to keep that to a minimum for the time being in case I want a new truck come spring I may jump on that!

 

For 285's I didn't really trim much, took a bit off the bottoms of the fenders and bumper. Probably could have gotten by without the cmc but I did it anyway.

 

I'll do it anyway. Simple enough to do and no need to worry about it then

 

Didn't take long, I got the plates from BAMF

 

I'll probably hit up Pelfrey about them and a skid

 

I just got the headlight hoops and stuff for the led cutout.

 

I'm anxious to see how it looks when you get it done!

 

For my reference IF I go with a body lift:

D2 + RAD + GAS

 

does this mean 35's?

 

Highly doubtful. Still just planning on 33s. Still see myself looking at getting a new truck in another year or so and can't justify chopping fenders to run them only to get rid of the truck.

 

Did you get the coops yet??
