I talked to one of the Brenthel brothers the other day and the shocks will be here at latest the first week of September. I need to check with Kartek on the timing of the bedsides.
I'm still trying to figure out the timing of it all and whether I should start tearing things apart and fitting the front glass. I'm thinking if I drop the truck off at the fab shop without fenders/bumper it saves me a few bucks, but I was going to try and have the front bumper fabled up at the time of install.
I'll definitely post pics as I go.

This might be the wrong section but I know there has to be people here that have removed their antenna to put on glass. It's kinda silly that it's giving me problems but it looks like the only way to remove the mount is to pull it out the firewall am I missing something? I don't see anywhere that it unscrews.
Heres whats going on with some of the other stuff

Hey man. This is what we specialize in!
All of this comes down to your intended use of the truck. If you're trying to build a purpose built prerunner then any of the LT kits(alpha1, RPG, HM, brenthal) will give you 17-18" of usuable wheel travel before cv bind. However these require a large amount of fabrication.
A good mix of great performance and streetability is a RPG or Alpha1 mid travel kit. You get 14-15" in a mostly bolt on application and we move alot more of these kits and they tear up most anything.
We have verified all these numbers personally.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

I'm preparing for a build with my 04 4x lariat. In SoCal part time . Looking for a small fab outfit that can hook me up propper. Someone that's cool to work with, affordable, creative, resourceful etc. maybe we can have a Chat and I can tell you about my specifics on function and form.
I design buildings and not incredibly knowledgeable regarding the different systems in the prerunner world . And I'm not the guy that's gonna drop a blank check and say do it up fancy. . Although I understand this **** ain't cheap. I may require a little more patience and someone gladly willing to design as a team and toss ideas around with... Let me know what you think . My plan right now roughly . Which is highly open ; is JD fab LT kit with kings. Mild low profilish cab cage, custom dash, bed in back seat (to sleep on
bumpers, gears , winch, small bed cage , and some other stuff. Apologies if I'm posting in wrong section or off topic or what have you.
With respect
Matt
