Dakota's build thread

Lmao. That's exactly why I don't spend anything on it anymore. Kids aren't cheap haha. Income tax will be my time to splurge on the truck a little.

I haven't done a single damn major thing to the truck since the baby was born. But, the baby always comes first. For instance, I was supposed to put a deposit down for a heated jacket through a tool guy that goes to work, well can't do it anymore cause my boy grew out of size 3 diapers so I have to spend half that money for diapers.

Fucking diapers are no joke. Especially when they go through 3-4 a day.

Quick tip - when you potty train, don't use pull-ups. It may be a bitch at first, but they learn alot faster if you just put them in some underwear. My son turns three in January and he's basically potty trained. Just wears a diaper to bed.

And I feel you guys on truck funds. Only way I get away with bigger purchases is by selling something I had for the truck.

Well, we got the new notches knocked out last night. Still a few things I want to do but it's nice to finally have the frame fixed.



It seems like the bed got tweaked from the frame being broken for so long. It doesn't fit quite right. I'm gonna end up making new bed mounts and see if I can get it aligned right. It does looks much better than it did when it was bent like a banana though :rofl:


Rides 1000% better. Bridge and notch cover and next.

Looks good! Stoked to see the bridge and cover. Do want a deeper weld in notch.. djm shit making me nervous..

Lmao. I cut mine out like 2 years ago. Pumpkin hasn't hit since and I've been at 9.5" the whole time.

Thanks! It'll probably be a while to be honest. I want to get everything set up the way I want and gather parts to do tubs, notch cover and bridge all at once. I'd like to do a raised floor but this bed isn't in the best shape cosmetically so I don't want to sink a lot of time into it.

eventually it will dent it enough to have the clearance.

I'd advise getting rid of it. I did t at first and busted that rear brake line and it was a bitch to fix. Lol

I moved that brake line out of the way a bit but the next time my bed is off I'll just cut the brace out lol shoulda dome it to begin with

Good lol. I never thought about moving the brake line until it was too late and I had no brakes in traffic.
