It's got to be the gas tank right.

NuttinSpecial · 10-11-2011, 03:07 PM

lol thats what i think i just dont know why they would use that? its so funny looking.
the trucks not even layin flat and its touching the ground it looks like

xludan · 10-11-2011, 03:21 PM

Definitely the gas tank. The original gas tank filler is shaved.

NuttinSpecial · 10-11-2011, 03:23 PM

Yea i just dont understand why they didnt do a better job hiding it?

It almost looks like the blazer tank to me which is pretty bulky. Doesn't look like they went the extra mile to get a custom fuel cell.

NuttinSpecial · 10-11-2011, 03:37 PM

Yea its lacking some attention to detail for such a high dollar truck. The side trim isnt on perfect and the rear bumper looks kinda crooked or somethin but who am i kidding, id still take it lol its nicer than my current junk

This is actually the truck I was talking with someone about the other day in regards to how crazy things have become.. I mean 24x15??? Holy bank roll!!

big_al_71 · 10-11-2011, 03:52 PM

That truck is super nice...thanks for sharing....

C20-67_N_MO · 10-11-2011, 04:11 PM

Does anyone have a picture of the front of the truck?

Just wondering if they left the grill stock or changed it to a billet look.

Yeah kinda sad they have the gas tank hanging down like that after the rest of the truck looks so good.

bumper is lower on pass side. Great looking truck. I'm glad to see they painted the engine and accessory mount, something that is overlooked on most swaps because "aluminum doesn't rust"

oldno7 · 10-11-2011, 04:27 PM

That doesn't look like a tank to me kinda looks like a spare tire with a turquose cover

oldno7 · 10-11-2011, 04:32 PM

And if it is a tank, i wouldn't want to be following him to close when it ignites. I like the truck but would just do afew things diff he should be happy its better than most

Lol i could see that if it it was a 24x15 spare why it hangs down that low but i doubt it.
That would prob be the most expensive spare ive ever seen lol

I like it, I don't know if that's the gas tank or a reflection, either way it's a sweet truck.

*RUSHNBOBO* · 10-11-2011, 06:21 PM

All that money and the side trim looks like it was put on by a third grader....spend a couple more hours and do it right.

jondancer · 10-11-2011, 06:38 PM

That's nice! Still deciding if I like the gator seat though.
