(VolatileA) Big Sur - 2021 Sting Gray Mojave Build

[VolatileA]

Gotta be a bit frustrating but it will all be worth it

It’s a bit frustrating for sure, I understand everything is a bit slower right now but for a truck that has been ready to go for 3 weeks with an additional week delay….

Stopped thinking about it so it happens faster haha.

I think we're past that already hahaha, I'm still ordering parts weekly, winch and bed cover next.

Couple more parts arrived this weekend!

The first one below is something I wouldn't normally go for because I want utility over just aesthetics but I think this one pretty much sells itself as an extra safety measure + aesthetically it looks pretty awesome when lit up.

Secondly, something I knew would have to be done with 37s+ is the track bar.

I was conflicted between the Steersmarts and Core4x4, mainly b/c the core4x4 was the same price and comes in orange which matches the Mojave theme...

Ended up going with Steersmarts for the adjustability while on the rig and also because their brand has stood the test of time and customers all seem happy with it.

When I say this thing is beefy, I mean it.

I think you made an error posting this in the build thread but your dog looks pretty awesome next to the Sting Gray :D

Sold the 35s to a local forum member, 37s have been on backorder for a month now.

Sounds like I should be picking up the truck this week, since I don't want to put a lot of miles on the stock take off wheels and tires besides delivery...

I may end up going with 38s to get them here right away, this escalated quickly.

If I'm not mistaken there is a rear track bar that will accommodate a 38" under the bed but I need to do some research first.

Are you still going with the Milestars? I ordered a set of 37 Cooper STT Pros from Northridge on 7/28 and just got them yesterday.

@VolatileA have you heard anything about shipping?

Yeah, I looked at the 38" Nittos as well, not sold on spending another $1,600+ for the Nittos, basically double the price or buy these twice at some point.

I think I'll stick to the Milestars at least for one cycle.

Nothing, it's been in "shipping phase" for a month now.

Bummer. Hopefully we all hear something this week. There’s quite a few of us that are built and ready to go to Gupton.

Stocked up on a ton of these molle pouches (couldn't fit all in 1 pic) in all size, unreal deal.

These will work great utilizing the molle panels built into the back of the seats. The large ones are fairly large, use the picture with the iPhone 11 Pro Max for scale.

I hope so, I'm not even mad at the dealer b/c it's out of their control but would like some kind of explanation of why it's been sitting in shipping for a month when it's a 6 hour drive from plant to dealer.

It just doesn't make sense.
