what gas cap did you use, where is it from

russj67 · 02-17-2010, 10:03 PM

It s basically a boat fuel filler tube and cap. I originally ordered one from Brothers, but they went on backorder so I ended up getting one from Overtons marine supplies...and for about half the price. Here is a link to what I got:

A quick update on my truck. I got my roll pan on and windows tinted. These were the last things that I wanted to do to consider the truck done....as much as "done" is possible. I will try to get some pictures up.

The bad news is as I was driving home today after getting the windows done, I started hearing something banging around underneath the truck when I slowed and went into a right turn. Not sure what it is, but I was happy to make it home. I had already broke my carrier bearing and put a beefed up one in, so I'm hoping that is not the issue. I don't know what to think right now, maybe a cab mount, broken motor mount...just not sure yet. I guess I'll climb under it and start poking around. My friend also got stuck in the passenger side. The wire for the door latch came off. I guess this is my shake down period!

Thanks for the update! Maybe you already said but, what size and back spacing are your wheels? tire size? how much is it lowered and is it static? It looks perfecto to me! thanks

Look at CPP's new carrier bearing. I think it will solve your problems.
