I think it might work for racks not on the DB. But from my experience the camera looks back and slightly down which put the rear rack right in the way.
I adapted a previous gen Chassis Unlimited Thorax 12" bedrack to my Diamondback.

Yes, my biggest gripe was that it was in the perfect spot to block my camera view. Do not...
I have run both these tires on RRW rims:
285/70/R17 Falken Wildpeak At4W SL
285/75/R17 Falken Wildpeak AT4W C Rated
You want the SL rated tires. There was a significant MPG drop going from those to the C rated and I honestly have considered switching in the SL tires during the winter when I am...
Alu-Cab really is a top option for quality products. I could see this being a better long term option than the smart-cap with a little more complicated ordering up front. I like that they made a shroud to cover the gap behind the cab. Thanks for posting.

@JustDSM I am tuned from your guy at High Country Tuning. This truck sees daily usage offroad and gets pushed to find the limits. I dont think ambient temperature has as much to do with it. Its also not an issue with slower obstacle focused 4WD usage. It seems more agitated by variation like my...
I just looked that up and it looks like a great panel. Withe the 120W at 41", Do you think the 200W at 49.6" wide would fit between the rails like that? Two 120Ws are the same price as 1 200W so it may be better to split up the panels.
I found a workaround for this. The USB C connection on the right side of the screen allows for wired carplay/android auto. I start my starlink up, connect to the wifi and then plug my phone in to that port. Sometimes its not perfect and i have to go into bluetooth and pick the phone.
I just...
So for example, climbing at 3000 RPM in 2nd gear vs 3000 rpm in 3rd gear. Even though RPM is the same, there is less load on the engine in second gear. RPM is not directly linked to engine output. Thank you, that is a helpful way to visualize that. I am being a bit facetious with the red line...
So the idea is that we use the manual gear selector, keep it in a lower gear with higher RPMs on long 4wd climbs. It’s funny because I typically would avoid that to avoid overheating the engine. I will go test my climb spot again redlining 2nd gear and see what happens.
@rchrds good tip on...
If the carbon fiber hoods is too much I’ll take it off your hands. Are you building this truck for any outdoor activities or just to have the baddest taco in Boise?
you install first and then I’ll see if it all fits. Had to pickup a hand riveter/nut setter for this.

I will mention this to the dealer on my next service since I am in the transmission TSB. But you know, thick tires and aftermarket tuning dont help my case.
To be fair. I was probably around 7000# and it didn’t happen until I was in 4wd back it up a gravel road. I think these trucks just have...
yup. overtemp warnings on hill climbs and just had it after some towing. Have never seen anything like it. Im not gonig to dump the truck but I will jump when aftermarket coolers come out.

I’m not sure why but I thought the sway bar links were for the rear only. Thanks for posting up so I looked and they now show install in both front and rear. I will have to add that on for the front for my build.
did you already get the DV8 center cab molle panels? That’s one thing I got that...
