Dude's 2017 Build Thread!

Dealership is waiting on parts to warranty the 4wd issues. While that happens, new wheels from @CUSTOMWHEELS4U and fancy tires.

those look sick! How is the road noise? 7000 miles and mine ( KO2's) are about done, good thing it's summer here.

They’re pretty loud. Not unbearably loud but it’s noticeable and it’s there at any speed.

Love those wheels

Since my last update I found some more problems. Locker broke, got at least 15 different codes, traction control broke, bcm problems, truck only decided to start when it felt like, went into limp mode a few times. To fix it they warrantied the hub actuators, a connector for the differential, replaced a wiring harness, and cleaned a bunch of connectors so it sounds like most of my problems were electrical. So far everything works.

Edit: Still getting a grinding sound like there's an IWE vacuum leak. Check valve is brand new so maybe there's a leak somewhere else.

Ha that TV dude is me!
GF and I said **** it and camped out in the dunes. Hoping you guys didn't laugh too hard.

Your build is an inspiration. Keep this up man.

More pics. And yes I am aware of the ***** on the side of my truck. Fenders and bedsides are messed up but glass is finally on order.

After all this time I finally realized there was velcro on the back of my first aid kit and I could stick it to the seat and I also got some of the built right velcro seat mount things. Still working on how/what I'm going to mount but I'll finally have a place for all the stuff that's usually just flopping around in the back. Also here's a pro tip, the new adam's interior goo and detailing brush are super useful for getting sand out of the tight spaces inside your truck.

Also still having vacuum and starting problems
