Since the challenger has been a hit with the wrap we decided it was time for a personal truck. I haven't had a personal truck in almost 6 months now since mine have been adopted by the shop.

Picked this up over the weekend. Not exactly how I would build one but it draws attention and that is the main priority.

'14 mega cab, 68rfe auto, Laramie Limited. Unknown (at this point) ~6" lift Looks to be a combination of all out offroad parts with bds shortarms. 22" Fuel wheels and some dinky ass 35" tires. I have a set of 37's on the way as these are about shot anyways. Other than that, it's got all the fancy brodozer shit any true bro would need. Nfab slider steps and front replacement bumper. LED light bars, Leather headliner and some JL audio subs and amp.




Parts on order:
Unlock tuner + PPEI Efi live
5" TBE no mufflers
EGR Cooler remove/delete kit
2nd gen manifold and s480
new injectors and an add a cp3 kit
as well as the supporting things, intercooler, piping, studs, rings, coated pistons etc etc.

we will be wrapping it this week or next. The wife and the designers are working on the design so I'll post updates of that as well.

brodozer as fuck but aside from the rims, which honestly could be worse, its a good looking truck.

I'm well aware LOL.

It actually rides pretty decent for a lifted truck. I'll give it a couple weeks and see how it goes but will most likely get new shocks and different coils. The wheels probably wont last either. They aren't growing on me at all. if it were my choice it would have 17" steels on it but that defeats the purpose of the truck.

I think Carli offers the best riding setups myself. It's going to be a nice truck when you get done with it. Stock over S480 is good gor what? 650-700whp?

Depending on how hot you want to run it yes, around 650rwhp through an automatic is in the safe area. There are a few guys out running close to 900 with those chargers but they run really really hot.

I'll probably end up tuning down to around 570-590 at the wheels and leave it that way. I'm not a huge fan of smoke with a DD and I really don't need these guys at the shop tearing up a 15k transmission if they have to use it.

Carli does offer some really top notch setups out there for 3-6" lifts. I haven't been around one of their lifts for the 14+ with coils in all 4 corners yet.

I've always had very very good luck with the BDS 8" kits with king shocks. By far the best setup i've ever had on a leaf spring truck with the exception of the air ride kits. Keddleman does make a kit for these trucks but god damn for the price I think I can live with a case of pancake ass for a while lol

Ha! They are folded down lol. I had them up this weekend when I was moving all the boats and campers around and didn't think about it before I took the picture.

The steelies would be my preference as well, but yes the 22s definitely get more attention. For a 22" brodozer rim they are relatively tasteful though haha.

Nice truck! The powdercoating on my nfab rusted off after 1 year cuz Canadian winter . I had to get it line-x'd, but I don't think you will have that problem lol. s467 is a good charger lights pretty quick good for 700ish. I got the s464 better for towing and still good for over 600. 467.7 seems to be the turbo of choice for the 6.7s with a second gen swap. Can you delete the 14s ? Been awhile since I've lurked any cummins forums.

Wrap the boat next - Advertising on the water.

Gives you the excuse to say you're "working" one day while you're out on the pond.

Tax write off anyone?

:lol:




Truck looks plenty capable. Could look real mean with less silver and more black. What are your plans for the trucks color?
