so is the 17 suspension pretty much the same as prior years ?

that color is legit
couldnt roll it on a daily but this is obviously no such thing

Dang y'all are on it. That blue looks amazing as well

 

[Vader's Fury]

Loving the blue!!!!

I could do it as an accent color for daily driving.

Also received a few parts from Josh at the diesel cartel again. Rock lights, accuair stuff, air compressors. The norm, tore down the air compressors already, they're ready to paint.

Also took the door handles apart, along with the belt moldings and mirrors. None of it is easy on this truck but it does come apart eventually.

Oh yea, and the rock lights imp:

Some of it is, the frame as you can see it fully boxed so that is a huge change. The axles, knuckles, and a lot of other stuff has minor changes but nothing too crazy. A lot more then what meets the eye just looking at these pictures.

That blue is insane. Love it!

More money in rock lights alone than most have in wheels. That says something right there. :thumbup:

[Lthrnck]

Your last build made me a drooling fool. Can't wait to see Big Blue...

You guys are insane. This close to sema and that tore apart there are going to be some long nights ahead. Everyone else should leave their 17's at home because I highly doubt anything will even compare to this build. And 60 rock lights, holy **** those lights alone are worth more than my obs! LOL

 

[BuiltPowerStrokeTough]

Cant WAIT to see this when its done! That blue reminds of almost of the original Big Foots color, looks awesome! I always look forward to watching your builds and your attention to detail is incredible. Also, cant wait to see whats in store for performance parts for this updated 6.7 as I know they've changed some things on the newer engine. Best of luck on the build!!

I have switched from viair to the larger ARB air compressor and it is a night and day difference. I think just one will just about out flow all four of those.

Personally, I like to have at least 2 compressors. That way your not SOL if one has issues. I do like the ARB compressors and the Air Zenith even more so.

2 is 1 and 1 is none! I agree on having at least 2.

I agree. 2 of the ARBs would fit in the space of 2 of the Viairs.

 

[slowcoupe]

Gonna be watching yet another of your builds! I remember just seeing the renditions of the last one and couldn't wait for it to be done. Looking forward to whats next for this 17'

 

[Sleepersilverado]

How much are you guys tying up in multiple a compressor systems. Wonder if it would not be better to go belt driven?

 

[NotStock]

Belt driven compressors are phenomenal but take up a lot of space where there isnt any to spare on the newer trucks. The older platforms had a bit of room to make them work though.

 

[jordan572]

Belt driven would be ideal but with so many alternators, and potentially another fuel pump its not an easy undertaking. Our time frame is short obviously, and it's apparent Viair is not the premium of compact air compressors offered. But they look great imo, come apart easily and look nice painted. Plus mounting and wiring is familiar to me which is going to be critical when time is limited.
