The [-]"Cocker"[/-] kit / Now is the "tuckerdog" truck:)

Not sure how many of you read all the threads but there are 2 members that have been joking back and forth with each other and this was the name they came up with for 1 of there truck builds. 1 guy is "Copter" and the other that is the new owner of this truck, "tuckerdog". Tuckerdog has owned a hand full of Chevy's and a few years back he contacted us about product for one and sense has had us ship out packages for each of his new trucks. This one he happened to purchase from another member not far from us so before the truck gets shipped to TX. he has us doing some suspension work to it.


She is on the rack !!!!

More to come....

The ole Cocker Kit huh!!!! Should be interesting....:D

no comment

this is tuckerdogs truck? I have heard of him before. He in Housotn?

There she is. The good old Cocker kit better be a good rider.:D Copter is the one who got me started on this stuff. His LBZ has always been my favorite truck. I copied it with my white one, but I still liked his better. It isn't over done, but it sure does sit well, and I bet it hauls ass with my twins on there plus the hair dryer.

I bought this LMM from Jody on the forum. This was about as easy as it got, and he went out of his way to bring the truck to Nick for me. Jody, thanks again for everything.

Nick, I keep coming back because you are honest to a fault on this stuff, and I consider you more a friend than someone hocking truck parts. I call wanting to spend more money, and you pulled me back and said this is what I need. I guess it says something for my trust in you and Norcal in sending a truck I have never seen directly to you to for you to tear in to. You guys have always been first class to me, and you will always have my business.

I can't wait to see it start taking shape. This will be my first twin turbo truck, so I am actually pretty excited about getting her home....ON TIME.:D:D:D

Bring on the pictures.http://www.viperforums.net/forums/images/smilies/hdbng3_smiley.gif

Full Cocker kit install.........YEAAAAAHHHHHH BOOOOOYYYYY! :ro)

Don't get all Cockey on us Nick!

Can't wait to see what this truck is gonna look like when it's done.

Did you have a dodge for sale?

Anyways this should be bad ass.

Yeah, that is mine. I am just ready to do something else, so it is up for grabs.

i thought it was the king cocker kit

Im lost what is the cocker kit? A joke?

i thought it was the king cocker kit

Not enough time for the Kings, so it will just be a plain Cocker kit. Copter will have the Cocker kit before I do I am afraid.

I think we need to change the name.. The whole "c o c k" thing just doesn't sound right.....

And I thought it was in honor of Joe Cocker....An avid off roader and heck of a singer!

True. We can just call it the "C a l i" kit instead.

You know why I spaced it out..... The filters don't like ****. They prefer *****... meow



The Cali Kit it is...

Nice and classy!

Thanks Nick. I just got the handles in over here, and the new paintable bumpers. Looking forward to your updated grill pictures;)

Looks killer so far. Perfect stance for me. Not too tall, not too low.

Well I am going to get it right now so maybe a video soon :D

So you like the stance? I am going to drive it and see how she feels and then decide on where I am going to go with it.

What's the backspacing on those wheels Nick?

So you like the stance? I am going to drive it and see how she feels and then decide on where I am going to go with it.

Yeah, that is sitting pretty nice. Not too tall, not too short. I actually don't mind the chrome grill and bumper so much on that color after all, and the black handles don't look bad either. Oh well.

Well I am going to get it right now so maybe a video soon :D

Lay some down:D

What's the backspacing on those wheels Nick?

20x9 5"bs. w/ Toyo MT 33x12.50x20

Lay some down:D

?? Rubber ... ha ha This truck is freakin nuts. Can we turn a turbo off? I need to take a test drive with out shredding the tires off:o:

That's the set I need. You still have a set?

That's the set I need. You still have a set?

I just need the wheels, I have a fairly new set of Nitto's on my Incubus Alloys right now. Thanks though, seeing your truck with them sealed the deal.

What kind of Incubus wheels you got? I am looking for some Recoils.

Gotcha, i lowered my truck after seeing yours so i guess you can say that we've helped each other out.

DAMN COPTER. You out did yourself on that one. It looks to pull pretty well for just being on the DD tune. I can't wait to get those damn chrome bumpers painted.

He wasn't even in the throttle....

He wasn't even in the throttle....

If I could ever get the shipping company to pull their heads out, I might have some tires left before it gets here.;)

Did you get any shots with your truck?

Awesome video Copter and sweet truck tuckerdog.

The tires still have the hairs standing up on them. This freaking truck just bumps the boost so fast you don't even feel it till the tires are hooking back up. First time I took it out on the street I really was say WTF.... they left the u-bolts loose then looked in the mirror and saw a hays posi mark....:eek: WTF... Tires are all good, I am not that young but this truck does bring out the kid in you:o::D.


Yea I have just over 300 pic's I tool this morning that I need to go threw. I am going home but will get a couple up in the AM.


This poor guy has to see pic's and watch a video of his new truck he hasn't even drove yet. Man you are a pretty damn good guy. I myself would have booked a flight to drive it home buy now.

So do you like the stance? It rides really nice.

Copter, thank you thank you thank you.

nice truck I like the rims

Copter's truck looks every bit as good if not better than mine. If the classics had the new interior, I would still own mine.

Man that makes me want to go drop a ton of coin on mine!! Thats such a bad ass truck tuckerdog, I'm jealous!!

makes me want to ask you if you want to sell it!!!

Copter's truck looks every bit as good if not better than mine. If the classics had the new interior, I would still own mine.

they are both well rounded trucks mine is a lil older yet, know what you mean there on the interrior, very nice truck

CC are you talking to me or tuckerdog?

Thanks guys. I wished I could tell you how it drove, but I haven't a clue. Nick and Copter like it, so I would imagine it will be pretty damn nice.

Is tuckerdogs truck a 7-9" or 4-6" lift? Looks like a 4-6" but his sig say 7-9"

Is tuckerdogs truck a 7-9" or 4-6" lift? Looks like a 4-6" but his sig say 7-9"
i think that is an entirely seperate truck. different wheels, lift, and toys. im pretty sure he is just a lucky bastard. very nice ride. another sick truck coming from norcal.

Is tuckerdogs truck a 7-9" or 4-6" lift? Looks like a 4-6" but his sig say 7-9"

My other truck had the 7-9. The other one has a 4-6. The other one had a level. The other just steering goodies and a lowered level. Another LBZ had a 4-6 set at 6. My last LMM had a 2" drop. And the worst of the bunch had a 6" RCD, oh hell and a 6" Superlift that rode like a brick wagon.

I like the sporty look of the four, and it still is practical for parking garages etc...I fly too damn much to go big again. I will never run another lift outside of Cognito unless Nick suggests otherwise. He has never steered me wrong on this stuff.

ohhh duh sorry

I forgot about this one. 8 Fabtech and hated it. Look how far the wheels hang out. Sold it with paper tags. Hated the damn lift.

Is this truck still at Nicks? I want to go see it.

You still have any of those trucks tuckerdog?

Heck, I go on a roadtrip to Georgia for a week and and Copter is producing award winning movies out there in Californy???

Nice job and an awesome choice for music!:ro)

Have I said thank you yet? All of the guys at the office loved the movie. They were impressed with it.

yes and you're :welcome2:

Great job on the truck... looks sweet! Nice vid copter :thumb:

Awesome truck.

She was loaded on the rig headed home today.:D It should be here Monday. Once she is home, I will definitely post my impressions on the MPI set up and all of Nick's hard work he has put in to the truck.

Nick at NorCal has gone out of his way to make this all happen. Phone calls, pictures, Copter's videos etc....I knew every damn step of the way what was happening with the truck. Nick's suspension knowledge on these trucks is unmatched, and his customer service is better than I see on some very high dollar car builds. Huge thank you again to you Nick and your wife for putting up with the guy from Texas.:D

3 MORE DAYS:D:D:D

Nice vehicles, really like your new rig.....how do you plan on dealing with the smog stuff here in Cali with your twins? Watching that vid makes me want them but I fear the smog nazis would be a problem...

i believe he is from the great, non liberal, nicely conservative state of Texas where they dont have to worry about fairy stuff like emissions.

Bingo. I don't have the patience for liberals, so California is definitely not the place for me. What caused the massive delay in getting this thing shipped is the mass exodus out of California. Truckers are packed with people fleeing that State, and for good reason.

Yep got my 06 Dmax and 07 F150 inspected the other day. The tech didnt look, check, drive either vehicle and basically took my money and wrote the pass ticket. I love Texas! :)

I just watched the video and now I want twins like crazy!!!!! Sick truck!!!!!

Looks good

I thought MAX4x4 was coming over for lunch.


Sorry buddy... you missed it.:p:

I was until you told me it was leaving before lunch yesterday..........SO WHAT? Now your telling me it left after lunch and I could of come by????????

Hauler was here around 12:30ish. He had said 10am so I didn't think there was time.

The truck just got here, and WOW. This thing pulls like mad at all speeds, and it rides incredibly. Nick, the work you did on her is perfect. Perfect stance for my needs. More later....going to go drive some more.:D

Jody, if you are watching, you are one anal bastard. This thing is cleaner than a new truck. 200% satisfied with it.

Awesome!

Good lookin' truck.

Truck looks amazing! You will have fun with those twins for sure. Hey Nick where is your new shop? I will have to check it out since I live down here now.

I'm really glad. It was a true daily driver, but I tried to keep it nice. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

By the way, a bigger tune runs even harder....................... ;) I can send you a copy of what I ran for my race tune with the 4" exhaust. Pulls noticeably harder than what's in there now.

Jody

Im not sure what tuning Jody was running in his truck with the twins, but you may want to give Idaho Rob a call and get some tuning from him. Thats what I run and they are sweet. His street tune pulls pretty hard and you can still tow with it. His race tune will light my 38's up going 40 MPH, and thats with 3.73 gears, it nuts.

I started with Robs tuning too. I tweaked from there. The current tune in the truck is hotter than Robs street tune, but milder than his race tune. I also have a modded race tune that really runs strong, but I backed off on running that one daily; it was black-tracking the tires at wot, wiggled quite a bit like the rear tires were real low on pressure when I'd go wot to pass a slower car................ :eek: Started to think that was a bit much for daily driving.............. :D

You are correct, Rob has the tuning dialed on these MPI twins.

:damnit1: I wish I was able to drive it with that tune.:rules:


Nice meeting you Jody and yes your "daily" driver was VERY nice and I have to say for as much work you have done under the hood I was very impressed with how clean everything was. :bow:Truly a man that takes his time.

Great job, I now wants twins:banghead: :D

What I love about the tune Jody has in the truck is the lack of smoke. There is none. This is thing is ultra quiet. You just hear the turbo's.

I almost feel guilty for driving this thing daily. It is absolutely perfect.

Need to get some good vids of running the truck tuckerdog!
