yeeeeee. its all coming in.
when i get home...
nah im good.. im planning on putting my lightbar in the grille
I have one there and they look super. Clean. Why were you considering selling ur shell? I see a few people doing that currently and their trucks look so nice with them
I wanted to get a bed rack instead and just keep a RTT on the back at all times. but in reality. I can have both Topper and RTT. so i said fuck em. i'll keep it. more space for me. and I have the option to either sleep in the back of my 6ft bed or in my RTT
Looking good!
thanks man, ive got a lot of mods to throw on. just been hella busy with work. I got an OEM trd grille. ?
worth it.
What did you mount the flagpole to? Looks great! Lol, just kidding. Trasharoo looks great. Will eventually get one myself.
Nice! Gonna be hacking up your fenders shortly. Are you keeping the offroad ones or going different route? Ill be uograding very soon! 37’s are the new 35’s someone said
hahaha.. I've already sold the OffRoad wheel set on my truck. jist gotta drive down to SD and deliver them, i'll be having this set of Falken Wildpeak 285/75R16 set of 5x for sale in a week when i mount the SR8s and Duratracs. along with new suspension.
I meant what are you doing with OR flares not wheels? Just thinning them up, replacing them?
Ohh, i'll be hacking them up. cutting about 2'' inches off the entire thing or so... then it depends of how much i need to do... Pinch welds and fire wall.. Cmc of course.
Update people. Driver side is in. Took me 3 hours with the help of a friend, plus I power washed everything before going to town on the fender well..
So my take take on this is that since I have Remote Reservoirs you’re gonna need to cut the front portion that sticks out... well I cut it out because it wasn’t going to fit behind my Reservoir. It was such a PAIN in the ASS to do it myself.. I had a friend help mock it up everytime because we had to ensure the holes were in the right place prior to drilling. On the front portion, I had to cut a HUGE slit to have it fit in between the BODY mount because that’s as far it will be covering down on mine anyway. I will be converting to a T3 CBI front bumper in the future so that little gap you see on the bottom isn’t gonna be such of a big deal.. also on the inner portion of the fender liner where it anchors to the little mount, well.. I had to trim about a 1/4 of an inch to be able to have it line up just right with my outside fender and keep it all snug with my bumper.. over all, I wish it came with pre drilled holes so it would’ve been an easier install. This product is EXTREMELY functional and I will be putting the passenger side on another day.
Keep your old fender liners and place it the fend-x liner on the bottom, then place your old fender liner on top so you can have a template for where to drill your pilot holes. Keep a square file too, because you’re gonna have to square the holes out in order to line up with the fender. I put about 6 of the plastic fasteners and screws in from the kit that I purchased with the fendx. I’m planning on doing the same thing to the passenger side as well. I hope this helps a bit. Definitely gonna go 35’s now for sure.
Let me know if you guys have any further questions.
