Getting about 18 on the highway at 75mph and 42psi on the stock ATs ?

Loving every minute of it so far, amazing trucks for sure, I’ll be around if you have mod questions.
I was the handling at 42 psi? I keep mine around 34, it feels a lot less squirrely on the road.

Dope build my Dude! Watching with joy!

How do you like the 0 offset stance? I feel like it shouldn’t be too aggressive, but beautiful.
The 0 offset stance is perfect imo, it’s not crazy wide but stands out that you 100% notice the tire.

Makes it easier to park too fwiw.

You have some work to do. Get at it.
Doing the main pieces first and will update here as I go, next week putting the ACE rails on and spacer lift so I can start working on the other smaller mods.

On the stock Falkens, 42 seemed, well stiff. The Patagonia 38” ride smooth at 30psi on street thus far, way less squirrelly as you may call it.

Thank you, working on it now! :)

Cab side Molle panel going up tonight from @eight13design.

Still undecided on LINEX but that’s a decision for another day and I’d have to take this back off so I’ll likely hold off on LINEX until can gets really messed up which is unlikely in my use case.

I put Molle panels all the way around on mine. Then added a DeeZee bed mat and BedRug Tailgate mat. I’m really happy with it.

Love what you did with your bed space.

I still have to get the side panels as well, that’s on the to-do list after the other stuff else I had no more room to keep stacking parts haha.

That bed mat is something I’ll look into as well.

Going to do a combo of iPhone in-the-moment and then better images with camera + descriptions after the fact.

Forgive me but I’m too eager to put this truck together to use my nice camera in the moment.

@DiamondBack Covers and @eight13design additions tonight.

Done for the night.

Very nice. I plan on doing both additions as well. How was the shim install under the bed rails for the DB? Heard it’s a pain getting those rails off without breaking a few clips off.

Great question, I decided to install without the shims but I will 100% be doing it after I order replacement rail covers just in case.

But also, it’s definitely doable to use a pliers and squeeze some of those clips from underneath while pulling off the top vs breaking them by force.

I was in a rush to get these on and figured I’d see how the rail covers hold up since I plan on grabbing some replacements regardless, consider it a test.

Gotcha. Heard those replacement bed rail caps are on back order though, so hopefully yours hold up for awhile, but at some point I'm sure they start warping them middle.

10 pages of new parts before the rig came in! Congrats on the Mojave, looking forward to seeing you install everything.

That looks awesome. This is hands down my favorite bed cover of any I've seen so far. Unfortunately, I need something I can remove easily for hauling bigger/taller items, otherwise I would already have this one on.

BTW, those wheels/tires look SWEET!! More pictures please.

I’m in the same boat. I’d love a diamondback, but completely removing it every time I need to haul something oversize would be a PITA.

Weird, they appear to be in stock in multiple places, about $60-70 for the pair shipped.

It was a long wait, had to start stacking the parts early to avoid delays. Thank you for the kind words, excited to have started actually putting this thing together now haha.

Yeah it's the one and main drawback of the DB is that you'd have to take it off to put in oversized items but the good news is that install is pretty quick once you've done it at least once. And you can uninstall it within 10 mins max.

More pictures to come!
