SocalKTK's 3rd gen DCLBOR Super White Build page!

Yes, you are correct. Thanks!

 

Not much has been updated. @Shmellmopwho did the CMC since the 285/75's were rubbing, they came out great!

Ordered some OME dakars to get some more rake in the rear. Reason? Because just finished building a platform in the bed! Left the small space for the fridge. Now figuring if i should stain the wood or just wrap it with some carpet. Also going to be adding little bumpers for around the wood, where the fridge will go.

 

Glad to have a small contribution to your build!! The platform looks great bro!!!

 

Bro! you helped out a ton! Thanks again. Any trips with the truck this summer?

 

Of course. It was my pleasure. I have a Big Bear trip planned with my family in July. That's pretty much all for right now. But hoping for more! You?

 

Looking awesome man keep it up!!

 

@Squirrelbomb

 

Platform looks good. Are any of the top plywood peices removable? I wouldn't stain it, I would just paint it. Paint the legs and support section black and wrap the top in carpet.

I painted my platform a while back, just plain outdoor grade flat black. It's held up alright but if I was to do it again I'd consider using a product called "Duratex". It's used mainly in custom speaker/sub enclosures or custom "road cases" in the entertainment business. It creates a super hard textured surface and is also scratch resistant and water proof.

 

Thanks! I am very happy how it came out. Yes they are all removable. Can remove everything in about a minute, and about the same time putting it all back in. Total is seven pieces.

I looked into this "duratex" paint, its actual paint, not a spray paint, correct? and you also wrapped it with carpet? did you glue the top and then staple the bottoms?

 

You can roll it on or spray it from a gun. My platform is just painted, no carpet.

 

what spring rate did you go with on your kings? I want the same kit but might have to order the shocks separately from baja kits uca's

 

I am actually un-sure. When I spoke to Jordan at Baja Kits he said that they were stock springs from Kings.

 

So the OME Dakar's are BEEFY! I also put in a AAL just for the extra beefy-ness.

 

Sick!!

 

Thanks Bro! The truck is raked like crazy now. I hope the springs settle in.
OLD


NEW

 

Im glad to hear that! I was starting to regret the AAL, but since there already is a topper and a platform built in, I didnt think the OME dakars would be enough. I still prefer a little rake.. but i got over 3 inches of extra height LOL. and that is with all my camping equipment in there (except propane and canopy).

I personally love my snugtop. But i understand your dilemma. I had a 2nd gen short bed and would've never got the topper since i am over 6 foot, sleeping in it would've never made sense. In the end I got one of those truck tents that worked great for weekend trips. A bed rack and RTT would go great with your set up though.

 

Sorry forgot I already asked earlier haha

 

No worries! Not sure if I answered, but i think stock is just 600#. I was ready other reviews and 700 # spring would be good if youre going with an aftermarket bumper and winch.

 

Thanks man! I love the rims too. You have great taste too
