NC10TRDSPORT's DCLB Build

Mod day!

 

It'll be a "Who can come to me and work on my truck and work for a few hours for a sammich and (if of legal age) a beer" day lol

To be honest, I'm pretty particular when it comes to who works on my truck and this new one will be even worse. I am going to grease and anti-seize everything I can! Then it will get undercoated. I am not going to mess around and have to deal with rusty nuts and bolts later on. I'm going as far as putting silicone inside of the hex ends of sway bar links to avoid having them cause issues.

This is going to happen pretty quickly! I'm supposed to get a check tomorrow and will be calling the dealer to get a truck in. Then a call to DSMS and Wheeler's to discuss setting up my shocks

 

I need to put new uniballs in my uppers.

 

for pics

What are you undercoating with? Ive been fighting rust with a rattle can. And on board water!? Dayum homie..

 

I like the sealed ball joints for the salt and have already rethought going ICON. Until I get the ICONs with the extra coating, I can spend ~$150 extra and get KINGs and be able to do all the work I'll ever need to on them myself. Plus they hold up better to salt and such. So future plans are the same as previously posted, replacing ICON with KING.

I am going to use Fluid Film. Like the way it looks and seems to hold up better than linseed oil. I used rattle can on my old truck and within a couple weeks it was gone.

BGR was on a camping trip with us a couple weeks ago and he has on board water and it was a great idea! So easy to flip on power to the compressor and have a quick rinse down!

 

I was talking to my girlfriend about a trailer build in the future, she was into it! I already have ideas for it lol, Id rather put a RTT on the trailer than my truck and OBW sounds like a great idea for the trailer.

 

Check out either BGR or MrGrimm's builds as to how to get set up for it! I am not going to do a hot water on board deal until the day comes I do a trailer build (if I ever do)

thats not on board water, thats just a pressurized jerry can

 

Yea I'll have dat ^ once I get my rear bumper

I consider OBW to include hot water

 

Where da new truck at.

 

that would be OBHW lol


I consider OBW to mean you have a water pump

 

Alright fine that's what we'll call it

Waiting on insurance check so I can buy one

 

Full story and pics time yet?

 

X2

 

Believe me, I would like to. But I am going to stay true to my word, pics and story after the whole process is finished and I have a check. Be patient guys. I know it's killing me that I don't have a truck!

 

Okay

Its killing me that something happened....two maryland guys got in accidents recently too. One most likely totaled, the other was really close to being totaled if it isn't by now.

 

So you weren't at fault right? So why can't you tell us what happened?

 

Might be personal feelings. Nothing wrong with that

I won't push the issue. We can wait :|

 

Mine's totaled. Adjuster already told me that.

She hasn't admitted fault yet as far as I know. I'm calling the police at lunch to see what's going on.

I want to share pics and the story just as bad as you guys wanna hear what happened. I'm just holding out til then
