For those that have installed a gas tank kit on your blazer, I've joined the "never want to do that again" club

First I had to drop PO's custom tank...must be about 40 gallons or so, then I had to figure out install. Instructions? of course not, why should they include

I wrestled with it, the hoses and the brackets and in the end I won! I also had to cut out a huge, VERY heavy bumper that had been welded to the frame by PO. It is heavy.
Between the custom tank and the bumper, I must have shed about 250 pounds from the rear of the k5.

If you have questions about the install, feel free to ask. No pics yet, but maybe i can get in next few days if needed.
