Got the suspension finished up today (except for the front sway bar links, which i forgot). Here's some pics. Fairly straight forward install other than the upper passenger side control arm bolt needs to be cut off and replaced from the other side unless you want to remove the entire exhaust...

Ha, yes it would! Unfortunately, the box portion of this may be on hold. Mom is on the east coast and elderly, so that’s obviously first priority.

Amid everything going on right now, its hard to get excited about things. For me, working on my stuff, and building new things gives me great pleasure, and i find it very calming and relaxing. I've been going a little nuts with a brand new truck sitting in my driveway with nothing to do to...

Awesome Truck! Seems to be the way a lot of people are heading these days with these types of builds, should sell fast!! I love the paint!

I’ve spent a ton of time down in Baja over the years, mostly on a Moto. I’ve had some of the best times of my life down there honestly. But the more time I spend exploring the backcountry of the SW US and Canada, I’m realizing I just scratched the surface of my own country and our neighbors up...

Thought about that, but I like the tradesman material, it’s a different plastic. that and it’s fairly cheap. I can probably sell all the chrome bits and bumper and still make a few bucks

6lb 8oz Baby Jesus is stoked

I'm on it sir, i cant stand to look at the chrome.. The trasdeman bits (matte black) were ordered the day after i picked it up! :)

Thanks, so it’s a campsite thing, and not a park entrance thing? THAT would make perfect sense. I’ve been to several parks with tiny camp spots. I was thinking it was an entry thing! Whew

Gorgeour rig, GLWS! Sorry for a slight post hijack but this is the second time i am seeing a 24ft length limit mentioned regarding National Parks. I cant find ANYTHING on any of their websites mentioning this. Anymore details on the NPS length limit? I am about to start a new build, and...

If you move up to an 18" size on the Nitto you'll gain almost 1000lbs (rated: 4080) in load capacity per tire. I ran the 35" flavor of the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 on a 9k rig with all the weight on it full time and tons of offroading with not a single issue ever. With the truck and fully...

Fun fact, since basically nothing really exists yet for the 2019+ 5500s, compatibility is key. The Mopar "All Weather" mats from the 2500/3500 fit like a glove, and are even a little nicer and beefier than the Huskys (neither Husky or WeatherTech make any mats for the Reg cabs) ive always ran...

yeah, seems hit or miss.. several rave they’re the best ever and several friends have had the same experience as me..

I don't have a "weight goal" actually. I bought the biggest beefiest truck I could so i don't have to nickle and dime myself weighing every single thing i am adding to it trying to make sure i am staying under GVWR. Been there, done that As the truck sits, I have almost 10k pounds or so that...

well... not sure on that, but I plan on keeping a close eye on wear.. Like I said, I rarely drive over 70 anyway, I’m “one of those people” hahaha

Yes, @Healeyjet seemed to have an excellent experience with them, and that’s great. Me, not so much. It’s ok. As for tire choice and the 68mph rating of the Contis... 2 things, the 68mph rating is for full load. I won’t be near that 14k +/- load rating. That, and I rarely drive over 70mph...

I don't want to publicly bash companies, especially those with lots of fan boys. I'll just say the several unanswered emails, and their rudeness and off the charts arrogance on the phone, was so off-putting, Ive made it a point to never use one of their products ever. I've made it a point to...

ahhh... yeah... I’m guessing it’s the same hahahahaha

I've never driven a lumber truck... But i did used to ride down the hill in shopping carts when i was a kid, its basically like that! :)

Actually, it was 1150 when I first filled both tanks but forgot to take a pic :P
