Dude's 2017 Build Thread!

Updated with more Racin' to the Basin pics. Sadly they weren't able to get an airborne pic. I'll see what I can get next time I go out.

Test fit a center cap and final ones in production now. Picked up a power tank and placed a huge order at SDHQ this Monday and updated the OP with my plans. Hopefully I'll have everything on in time for a so cal run in June. Trying to get some front 3.0" coilovers, rear 3.5" bypasses, and a bypass rack before august.

Great thread thanks for sharing

@dude1782 mind sharing how much the radio and install ran with SDHQ? Coming through town in a couple weeks and thinking of having it done.

The radio was around $500 plus a few hundred for the antenna and mount then about a day's labor. I'm not sure exactly how long since I think most of the install time (5 days) was for the gps and they can probably do it faster now since they did mine and they're doing another one next week. I think there are also cheaper radios, antennas, mounting hardware too. If you give them a call they can answer any questions and schedule a time to drop it off.

Nice looking truck and good thread!

Interested in the wheel caps? I've got two sets of Walker Evans and want caps. Any info would be great. I do have a guy who can CNC the caps out.

I attached some pics of the cap I was sent to test fit. I ordered them from @ChiefMachining. They're helpful and do nice work. The caps will be a bit pricey since the center bore is so large but it's much better than the crazy chrome dog dishes they came with or no caps at all.
