    My advice is normally questionable at best but at least somebody appreciates my keyboard vomit. :D

    Drilling out the ends is a good call too @TMFF

    Yeah, this is getting ridiculous. I pulled the truck in the garage a week ago to fix the swing out latches, and just now finishing up several fixes later.

    Welded the gas tank strap and I think it'll work. Pretty sure I had a spare but it went with the skid I gave away....

    Hmm, can't remember what I did with it. There a chance it's still in CO. You should probably just build a frame around the flange and raise the tank though.

    I sure hope so! I'm really tired of fixing things.



    It did get me out to find some cutties close to home I didn't know were there, so weekend wasn't a complete waste.

    Rear axle housing is leaking still at all four inside corners on the perchs, cvj CV boot bit the dust, one tire down, and my coilbucket is about to implode. Not bad for a few days.
