Can't comment to whose build this is, but it looks like a Bed Slide mounted on the top of the Truck Vault. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Agreed. My cab height with my Decked is doable, but if I could do it all over again I would have gone mid rise. Build looks good though, keep us updated!

Really happy with it, only downside is it was extra on top of the system. With the Decked stock you don't really have any points to tie things down to. When I bought the Decked I didn't order any add ons so that I could run it for a while and decide what I needed. Early on I figured out that...

Agreed, it's doable but it's definitely tight. Looking back I definitely would have gotten a mid rise cap. Either that or tried to justify a Flippac, At Habitat, OVRLND, or the like. But I guess it's been a year since my original post on the setup. I'll add a couple more photos of everything...

Looks good! Yeah I corrected the speedo. I have an Edge monitor mostly to watch for regens, but that will correct the speedo. Knocked it out right quick in the parking lot after they mounted up the tires. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

After posting a bit this week in the build thread I realized I never posted after a trip to ANF earlier this summer. Summer has been pretty crazy so far this year (work trips, weddings, baby showers, etc) so I haven't been able to get out much and lost track that I didn't post this. It also...

To the comments on TCO I'm going to copy another post I made yesterday in my build thread: I'm going to try to put together the best response I can on TCO while also not creating a book here. There are really a ton of variables, but I'll share my experience. I just knocked out my 60K...

I have not owned another diesel so I can't really compare. However I really don't notice the warm up time being poor, even in the winter. I kept an eye on my dash today and I was at operating temp within 3 miles of leaving work. Obviously it's the summer so warm up times won't be bad. However...

Might as well jump in here as well, but don't worry about cluttering my thread up! I'd agree at 10 miles you'd be pushing it dependent on your winters. My commute is about 20 miles and I don't have any issues getting up to operating temperature. Sure a longer commute might be more beneficial...

Going to answer your questions a little more directly here as well, I was a little general in my earlier post. Plus that one got a little long winded. In northern Ohio I'd say I see gas average around $2.80, with diesel about the same during the summer and in the low $3.00 range during the...

I'm going to try to put together the best response I can on TCO while also not creating a book here. There are really a ton of variables, but I'll share my experience. I just knocked out my 60K maintenance and am sitting just under that mark as far as total mileage goes, unless otherwise noted...

I seem to have lost about 2 MPG from all the suspension and tire changes. My commute averaged 24-25 before everything and now I average 22-23. Really not too bad in my opinion for 2" of lift, removing the front valance and switching from 265/70/17 P to 285/75/17 E tires. Hopefully I have a...

Yeah I don't blame you, towing a camper is something you don't really want to mess around with in any 1/2 ton IMO. I had thought about pulling out the back seat entirely, but honestly I don't know that I would really gain much. I'll also occasionally take a water or snow ski trip with some...

Great to hear! I figured since I took so many ideas from other trip reports I'd do what I could to get my trip documented. I pretty much planned out the whole trip from just searching around the forum and saving things that looked cool. From there I punched everything into Gaia GPS and started...

At about 500 miles I had to break a good portion of everything down again to retighten all the fasteners to proper torque specs. I took the opportunity to also add the fourth skid plate I bought a while back. I still think it's weird that it's not included in the 'Skid Plate Package' that came...

Been a crazy couple of months so the updates on the tires are a bit late. I actually got a the tires and a new alignment within a week or so of getting the lift kit on. This whole project came on a bit earlier than I expected since my stock SRAs were starting to vibrate a ton on the highway. I...

If you haven't checked it out already check out the "Ham Test Prep" app. It's a flashcard based study app for all different levels of the test. I used this when I got my Tech and it was a pretty big help. I'm on Android so I know it's there, not sure if there is an iOS version or not. Sent...

Kind of like the rugged case aspect, whatever works for you. Personally I have had no issues with the built in GPS in any of the Android devices I've used. I can't say that I've ever had a fail to lock and usually get +-15 feet, which is plenty for me. I'll add I also don't have the devices up...

I'd grab a 10" Android Tablet, a MicroSD Card (128GB, 256GB, etc), a rugged case and call it a day. That skips the need for an extra SSD to lug around and worry about. All WiFi based and you can use Gaia to cache your maps on the SD card. You can cover your music needs as well. This is pretty...

Once all of the parts came in it came to get everything installed. Well I guess I should say almost all of the parts, for some reason the new sway bar links did not arrive at the same time as all of the other packages and weren't on my doorstop until the following Monday. Parts List: Fox 2.0...
