Bad Idea

Got it on all fours yesterday. This is front all the way down. Now I guess I gotta start gettin the air management wired and plumbed.

Nice alternative to the stock tie rod adjusting sleeves.

Cool build, those Captfab brackets look stouter than the other brands.

Great build, tagging along for the rest.

Got the twins mounted up in their PB brackets. Just sitting here trying to get enough sack to mount them in the right spots with the bed off. Probably just sit here and stare at it for a bit.

Don't know what I'll get done today with the toy out. You should see the neighbors when I bring this thing out.

Ya in for a race?

Old people shake their heads at it.
Husbands wanna ride it till their wives say "um no".
Kids wanna know what the hell it is.
Mostly people just laugh and say I'm crazy.
The thing is an outright death trap....but fun as hell.

Got this little sum ***** this week. Looks like it sits really low when it's mounted to bottom of the frame rail. But, that's how they say it's supposed to mount so unless someone on here tells me different that's how it's goin.
Was pretty sick so didn't anything done this week. Did talk to the guy I think is gonna paint it. I don't even wanna talk about that. I'm not a body man and not a painter. I won't pretend to ever be. I'm a really good wrench that's about it. I never had anyone show me any of that and I know I don't have the head or nerves to learn. So, the body is in another's hands.

Hey bud, hows it going? I know about the body work pain... I'm elbow deep into mine now... Most of my time is taken up on the road so its slow going and haven't posted any updates until I have something Pic worthy. Had to buy a much bigger compressor with my parts money so I'm back in saving mode for a bit again.
If you wouldn't mind sharing, could you tell me what cell this is and where to get it? You can PM me if you don't want to post.
Thanks brother

Your vision is awesome. I am in the middle of mine and I will not be going with this nice of stuff. I really like what you are doing here. look forward to more from you this.

Here's where it sits now. Seems to fit right. Just looks low to me.

looks like a nice tank... but as far as it sitting so low... is it meant for something that sits as low as what you're building?

[nlped]

Could it be mounted higher in the frame & still clear the bed floor? It does look pretty low.

[RRR18]

From the threads I've searched on here it seems like the way I got it is how it goes. Keep in mind my pic was with chassis all the way down. It is low...is it lower than the Blazer tank that was on there?....who knows. I'll probably put a call or a message into Boyd Welding just to make sure. Even though I'm staring right at their directions right in front of me.

[Possmguts]

Im sure if that pic was with the frame sitting as low as it will go that thats not the hight you will be driving at anyway.... so.... looks good to me.
By the way... what panhard bar are you using?

I'm gonna reuse the one that came with the truck when I bought it. Think it mighta been an older CPP single adjustable unit. It seemed to do fine so back in it goes.

[nlped]

Oh, if that's all the way down then you're all good. Boyd tanks are primo!!!

[RRR18]

It's a nice piece. It's goin in one way or another. I'm overthinking it.

[knomadd]

Yeah, since you're all the way down with the frame, the tank is fine. That's how my tank is mounted, although not a Boyd's tank. Wish it was though, yours looks great and I've heard many good things about those tanks.

Got my Wilwood D52's yesterday. Fit on the CaptainFab brackets is perfect.

Rotors are still taped up from when I painted em.
