I got the fenders awhile back around winter but was waiting until summer to start the project. From the time I ordered is only took about a month. Bakakits was a totally different story lol. I do see the hesitation on ordering especially with the lawsuit going on with APG. Crazy story and feel...
Update: I put the limit strap where the bypass mount is suppose to go. The reasoning is that the tie-rods are very close to where the strap would be. The bypass mount works perfect for now, but I will install 2.5 bypass once I finish the rear of the truck, so it's fine for now. Next order of...
Oh and side note. I did order limiting straps from dirt king. This is for precaution of the brake lines. There is enough play even at full droop and lockout at droop but I don’t want to risk snapping the lines. Just some peace of mind when I’m feeling ballsy and want to hit micro jumps ?
Update: bk kit is done âś…
Ended up swapping the brake lines with no issues. Currently they are floating with no brakes to hold on to the spindle. It doesn’t need to hold on to anything as the are floating away from the tire and have enough articulation without any issues.
The most difficult...
Update. While connecting the “extended” brake lines I realize they are not much extended. Maybe about half an inch? I don’t know if there was a mistake or if this is supposed to be correct. At full droop the lines are still in place but the float. There isn’t enough slack for them to attach to...
Okay so here is an update on the shaft.
For anyone looking to use Bajakits prerunner kit you’ll need to know the axle type you have. I have a tow package on my truck which apparently uses a different cv. Mine currently have star cages on both ends of the Cv. I guess the axles I ordered have a...
I got in contact with a fellow down in salt lake that is going to wrap the truck. He said he can do PPF as well…. Not sure how that works, maybe wrap first then PPF wrap? I’ll see haha.
Hey do you have an IG I can message you on? I’m putting together my kit and they sent me the wrong shafts. The upper control arms are good but I haven’t started the lower and I have a feeling it’s not going to be right. Looks like they did the same to me as you.
Update:
So I started to put together my Bajakits “mid travel” kit. I should have opened it when I got it because they forgot to send me the extension for the tierods. Also which is super frustrating is that the extended shaft is NOT the correct shaft. I took apart my cv, pulled out the star...
I actually found a shop 4 hours from me that’s going to do it for $1200.
sand, primer and paint. The only reason why he is doing that for me is because it’s my brother’s friend. I’m going to throw him a fat tip for the hook up.
Update on paint job: So I've went around from shop to shop looking for the best deal. I was quote 7K because they said some body work needs to be done and I have some gelcoat cracks in some areas. None of the fiberglass is actually cracked so I just think it needs a little bit of sanding and...
Got the bed side completed. It’s solid with no vibrations whatsoever. The 3m panel bonding works well. I’m still going to use a little to bond the edges where the glass wraps around the tailgate just for some extra measure.
also need to sand a little on the right upper taillight for a flush...
3m panel bonding coming in today. Going to glue the top of the fiberglass to the rails of the bed. Got all the rivets in and doing a little bondo work to get the tailgate flush with the glass. The bedsides come alittle short so just doing the extra work to make it look aesthetic.
Also got the...
Current update. I have the fitment for the bedsides on but haven’t bolted in the bedsides yet. I’m currently waiting for m3 panel bonding to glue the fiberglass. It really is a tight fit and I probably don’t need to use adhesive, however I want to minimize vibrations plus I don’t plan on taking...
