[QUOTE=shanechevelle;688640]You got ripped...

I would have done it for free just to meet the man behind the legend.

It's not everyday you meet a guy that manages to run his rover out of fuel, travel down a hill coasting for 7 miles making his truck have near infinite fuel mileage...AND THEN drop his tank on the ground because he couldn't put something under it.

i thought he was trying to run out of fuel on purpose so he can strap or something his gas tank

How much did you pay for all those parts ?
Are you planing on doing some crazy off-roading ????? If you you need 33 inch tires and a big winch and cdl with traction control don’t forget about rock sliders

pretty sure he's just putting a bunch of farkles on it so he can feel like he's intimidating people in the parking lot at applebee's.

to para-quote the op himself, he wants to "make his s**t look good."

The thing I do not get, or rather the thing that jumps to the top of mind is why wouldn't the OP do this work himself? If he is going to remove a gas tank, I would assume he has the capabilities to add the bolt on trail gear.

I agree.

David...why did you drop your tank but felt you couldn't put a plate on the diff?
