The DERJ (DRJ) Mag Gray Build

So everyone seems to be making their own build thread and figured what the heck. Its been a slow process for me but in time I will add more to the truck. This is pretty much just an outline of what has happened to the truck since I got it.

You may be asking yourself why am I doing this on a Sport 4x2. Well the answer is because its a company truck and it doesnt cost me a dime to operate only the cost in mods.
The future mods wont be going onto this truck but if everything goes as planned I will be purchasing a 4x4 in the near future with my change of career and everything will be swapped over to that truck. I figured I might as well start investing in all the stuff now so my wallet doesn't take a big hit later on.

Let the flaming begin.

 

Reserved.

 

Do you mind if I ask how you like the GO15's? I'm close to getting a set I think, but would like to get a few more reviews. I can't find many people who have them. Thanks.

 

I think I bought the Tonneau cover from you. I have a few questions. I open the tailgate, pull the cover all the way back, then close the tailgate. Is this the proper way to do it? The problem I'm having is that it will unlatch from that locked position and go one position back. What happens is that it doesn't stay full closed, it opens about a foot or so. I think its from the vibration from driving but it should stay locked. Can't seem to figure it out.

 

I like them. They have a stock ride quality to them. Have a buddy who runs them on his land cruiser and take it off road and informed me they did just fine. Had a little sliding here and there but survived the weekend.

You can either close the gate or leave it open when you pull it closed. The way it works is if you twist the knob to open it stays in the sliding position. You have to pull on the nylon leash so you hear a click and then it goes back into its locking form. From there about every foot it will lock so if you only want to close it a portion of the way.

Does that answer your question?

 

Thank you. Pulled the trigger on a set today.

 

I think you'll like them. I'm not one for the super aggressive looking off road tire. These have the ability to go off road with still giving a nice clean look to the truck

 

Well I do hear it click but when I drive around it tends to slide back 1 notch. Im guessing from road vibration or something.

 

Oh I see. So it's clicked back open and then it will roll back again to the next position. I think you're right about the vibration. If you think their is a problem with it, text me and I'll give you the place that I originally got it from and they can take a look at it to see if there is a problem or if that's just how it is. Should still be under warranty for another few years. I either ran with it closed or when it was open it was clicked right up against what ever I was carrying so I never experienced what's happening to you.

 

Nice truck, thanks for posting.

 

I'll see if I can figure it out, if not we'll set something up. Thank you for helping me out btw!
