need gas? don't go here.

This place is only about three miles from my house, but every time I try to go to take pics some one is there. They live in the building behind the sign. I finally caught them away so I shot some pics. I also got to use my new FujiFilm camera. Enjoy!

Re: need gas? don't go here.

That is almost exactly like what I want mine to look like done.What kind of spindles/springs do you have on it?

Re: need gas? don't go here.

Thanks 68stepbed I was planning on running 2.5 spindles and 3 or 4 inch drop springs on the back of mine.How does yours ride and do you have any trouble with speed bumps?

Re: need gas? don't go here.

Mine rides out real nice. My seat is a bit bouncy with the new foam, but everything else works very nice. I slow down over speed bumps anyway, so they're not an issue. My exhaust even hangs below the frame and I've not scraped anything yet. I'm actually thinking of putting a 1" block under the rear. I would like to have a bigger rear tire, but I can't seem to find anything that would go well with my front tires. I don't know if a 285/70/15 would look good or not.

Re: need gas? don't go here.

A 285/70/15 sounds a little tall,my dodge ram 4x4 has 285/70/17 on it.What did you do for a gas tank?I was thinking of going with a blazer tank.
