Zach's 2013 DCSB Build

I haven't lengthened my brake lines yet. The front doesn't seem to need it, but I can see where it will be beneficial in the back. For the use the truck is getting right now I am fine but hopefully before summer gets here I can lengthen the rear lines. I got the LR UCA's because I didn't want any problems with alignment. To be honest, your everyday shop doesn't really know how to use an aftermarket UCA to fix alignment so unless you have a good 4x4 shop they won't benefit you much. I know many others that run the OME setup with the stock UCA's. One benefit of aftermarket UCA's beside alignment is that most of them have more room to allow for larger tires.

 

Thanks for the help. Looking into an OME lift just trying to cover the basics first

 

Love the bedracks you made!

 

Wow! Looking good, I like how you have the bed set-up and jealous of the fridge.

 

Fridge has been really nice for the trips we do. I had to get the luxury mods first to keep my lady satisfied. Now that she is comfortable I can start thinking about some armor.

 

Def one of my favorite trucks on here, it's clean as fuck.

 

I hear you on that. I need to get a tent heater mod sorted out for my girl.

 

Figured I would throw a question out there to anyone who passes through this thread. I am trying to figure out what the next set of mods should be for the truck, or something different. I have been considering a front and rear bumper for awhile for a few reasons. I don't necessarily need the armor but would like a winch for the times I am out alone or I am the only vehicle on the trip. I also have been looking at rears bumper with a tire carrier and jerry can carriers for extra storage. That being said I feel like spending the money on those things when I don't have sliders or skids seems kind of backward. My final consideration is not upgrading anything on the truck and building a small trailer similar to some of the ones on expedition portal so that loading up to go camping becomes simpler and we are able to make basecamps and then take the truck out to do other things without having to break camp every time. Let me know what you guys think.

 

I made a pretty significant purchase the other day and am hoping to get it all put together and installed soon. Super stoked about this even if it means mods are going to be done for awhile until my funds recover and my wife will see my justification in modifying our less than 1 year old truck.

 

ok i'll bite, what'd you get?

 

Hopefully I will have pictures tomorrow. We will see. I have got to keep the suspense going for the small number of people who actually look at this thread.

 

Sub'd. Very clean and quite inspirational.

I want to see this new goodie of yours

 

It is all installed just haven't had time to get some good pics. Maybe this upcoming week.

 

ready to take notes!

 

Oh--and I don't think a winch bumper before sliders is backwards-- i know that there's lots of places I go that I could easily get stuck and need a winch, but not be worried about damaging the doorpanels.

In fact, just the other day I slid off a snowy FS road and almost couldn't get myself out! Judging by your camping pics I think you definitely could use a winch!

 

That was my thought when I was trying to decide.

 

Updates!
Installed this with my dad about a week or two ago. CBI Moab 2 with center hoop and a TJM stealth 9000 winch. Overall, I am very happy. Ran into a few hiccups with the bumper install but everything worked out and I am itching to get out and put it to use.

 

Excuse the all the crap everywhere on the truck weather has been on and off with no break to get it cleaned up for a few days.

 

Looks great!

 

Thanks, I saw your lighting updates the other day. I like it. Heard you have hoops coming for your bumper too is that right?
