2.5 Gen Double Cab Thread.

is my DC welcome? It's a work in progress DC 5.5' short bed.

 

Of course it is. Can't wait to see the finished results.

 

The ideal truck

Dude, are you gonna chop it like that red Tundra on terracrew?

He chopped it by 6” I’m going for a full 12”

 

Nice looking truck.. man, those are some looooooong running boards!

 

Yall Cali boys are on a whole different level haha. I personally wouldn't wanna do LT but I don't live near dunes and have never run any. Sick rig though and can appreciate the $$$ and effort put into it.

Orale!

 

Im not into LT either. I like it slow

 

Lies

 

Just ask some of the SoCal and AZ folks.

 

I got you mixed up with @reywcms

 

I was like this guy should know by now I'm a crawler.

 

I would definitely do trails. If we had some.

 

Yeah took me a looooooooooooooooong time to find them. Seriously.

How did your motorcycle fit in the 6.5 bed, any pictures?

 

That looks nice
I want a black one to pair with this one

 

Thanks, I am really interested in those. Might be perfect for me.
Which exact one did you purchase?

Is your LB a 4x4?

 

Have a DC with the 6 footer, these 8 foot boys are making me think I should have gone for the LB!! How is the support for them on the frame? I feel like I've read a few threads showing our DC's are under-supported towards the cab.

 

I've not noticed anything that points toward under supported - but mods listed below.

Nice! Do it.

This is a lowly SR, but yes - 5.7l V8 and 4wd. It's got a level lift, air suspension, wheels and tire upgrades, long ass running boards, stereo upgrades, headlight and tail light upgrades, tint and a driver's side grab handle.

Specific to the running boards - purchased via Real Truck - LUV-415114 - 415114 - Luverne Grip Step Wheel to Wheel Running Boards

Before and After pics -

Stock on day 1


With some mods


With some load

 

that's a beauty. last shot hits home, as I squat with the 6.5 foot bed full of mulch. Thinking of RAS, not sure I want to go full hog on the air bag and compressor etc..

 

There is an additional support near the front of the longer bed, I went out and checked after I read the thread you did.

I have loaded that bed heavy and even got in an accident when loaded heavy. Bed held up well.

 

I love that truck.

I wish I could find what I wanted as far as long beds, they are pretty rare and even more rare with extras. I was considering buying one when insurance totaled mine(minor frame buckle), but I couldn't find barely any long beds and none as loaded as mine...so I just bought mine back for 19K and am rolling with it...People seem to hold on to the few long beds that are out there.

I think you forgot to say that you also upgraded your stock mirrors to some tow/signal mirrors.

 

yeah - mirrors, fog lights, all weather mats, and the list goes on and on. I’d much rather get the bits I want than the pre-packaged offerings that I might not use.

 

Ditched the ko2’s for Baja Boss AT’s, much better!
