Josh0351 2013 DCSB OR Build Thread

Thanks much! I got the black TRD decals on ebay but it doesn't look like the guy I got them from is a registered user any longer. Do some searching on ebay - you might find someone else selling them.

LMFAO! I just noticed that - should have proofed my post I guess!

 

Very nice build. Mine is still stock but that is the direction I would want to go.

 

Thanks, Chris, & Go Birds!

Installed my flip-down license plate holder on my All Pro steel plate bumper to access the hidden hitch & started the Bushwacker pocket fender flair install.

Finished installing and trimming my Bushwacker pocket style fender flares.

 

Not a huge fan of the Bushwackers usually, but they look really good. Nice job!

 

Thanks. I'm actually not sure if I like them now that they're on. I thought the black would be alright with the black & gray theme that I'm going for.

I might color match them but I'm seriously considering dipping the entire rig gunmetal gray this summer. Hopefully they'll grow on me over time.

 

Maybe dip the bolts? That's my biggest complaint with the Bushwackers.

 

Master Flow 1050 Tsunami portable air compressor review

So I got to use my Master Flow 1050 Tsunami portable air compressor for the first time today. I gotta say the reviews on this are spot-on! It look less time to fill my 285/70/17 tires from 15 PSI to 35 PSI than it did to air them down. Definitely worth the $40 - $50 investment, plus it fits behind the back seats.

One word of caution, the unit was pretty hot after airing up all four tires. I didn't put it back into the bag until it cooled down a bit - didn't want to take any chances of melting the nylon carrying case.

 

Definitely. I think I'll dip the truck Gunmetal Gray including the Bushwackers, and then paint the bolts black.

 

Got the tonneau cover. Went with the truxport one. Was 250 shipped but i like how the support rails roll up with the cover. That air compressor will come in handy after some trail riding.

 

Your truck looks great! (and so do the dogs in the bed)
Nice work!

 

Awesome truck my friend. Any idea what the custom length on the rear shock was? I am about to order an Icon shock/OME leaf setup myself. Thanks!

 

Thanks much! I'm not sure about the specific length. When I ordered the setup through Down South Motorsports, they knew what to order from ICON in terms of the extended-length rear shocks in order to accommodate the Dakar with overload spring and added height. So when you decide to place the order, if they don't ask be sure to inquire about this.

 

Ok I understand how that works now. Newb to lifts here but Icons and Dakars are ordered. Your thread helped. Thanks!

 

dude I don't know how you don't have more views, this build may not be the most extreme but god is it sexy. This and Rick2013 builds are imo the cleanest builds yet. You've given me a view to follow with my truck. Im surprised you haven't done BHLM yet? I cant wait to see where this goes! ps. How do you like the bed cover?

 

Sorry for the late reply, been travelling A LOT for work (90% of the time) so haven't had time for much of anything lately. I think I got them on ebay, but I honestly don't remember - that was like the first mod I did and added a good 10WHP

 

Thanks much, Kiel!

Bed cover is kick a$$ Rhett - it's been over 2 years and showing very little signs of wear. For the price I couldn't be happier with it!

Mods on-deck in the next few weeks are URD True CAI and (wait for it....) Supercharger!
Stay tuned - Heading out of town AGAIN next week but will be back shortly thereafter with pics and updates.

 

Updated pictures from my hiatus:

 

so clean, that super charger will be a beast man! Gotta get a front bumper too!
