dseitler · Jul 13, 2015

What a great setup. Truck is going to be amazing. Can't wait to see it in person. It was great meeting you at PBIR the other night at the races. I'll come by when it's further along. Dan

Made some good progress today. Finished up the fuel up top, relocated the regulator, installed all the piping.

Still need to adjust the clamps and line everything up better. Also have to run the return from the regulator to the low pressure pump.

Tommorow I think we're finally going to cut and shorten the frame and then next week we will 4 link it.

Coming along good now. Hopefully it should be driving in the next few weeks.

Made some big progress today. Finally fot the frame cut and reassembled. It worked out so nicely that we have decided to keep the leaf springs and just remove the blocks to lower the truck a couple inches. This truck is a fun toy and a shop truck. We would still like to be able to move around a trailer if needed so the leaf springs seem to be our best option.

Lookin good

Inline6359 · Jul 21, 2015

What did you change to keep the factory springs, iirc you said you would have to ditch them to make the cuts where you needed?

josh@thedieselcartel · Jul 21, 2015

If you look close, we had to cut part of the front leaf spring hanger back in order to make room to do what we needed. We also zig zagged the frame to get more welding surface area for extra strength.

Installed our bad ass new Rigid Dually XL fog light kit today on the fresh painted bumper

josh@thedieselcartel · Jul 22, 2015

Also installed the new painted door handles and mirrors. Mirror lights have already been swapped for smoked Recons but I didn't get a picture.

Looks killer. I love my Rigid D2 setup from you guys. Can't imagine how bright those babies are.

CWAY6.7 · Jul 22, 2015

Thats the exact way I had my mirrors done! I sure do miss the way it looked

BEST of luck to you bro, cant wait to see it finished! Wish I got around to installing the duallys in my bumper also.

Lmao!

It does look awesome, Josh, but if you would have let me know I would've given you my Recon mirror signal smokes. I put the Recons aside and had my stock lenses and third brake light spray-tinted, and they both look awesome!

Seems like those OBS are all the rage these days...

stevens6.7 · Jul 23, 2015

Josh, who did your mirrors for you? I've thought about fully color matching mine but also like this as well.

josh@thedieselcartel · Jul 23, 2015

I had a buddy of mine locally who owns a body shop do all my painting for me.
