A custom fuel cell is on the list. Specifically one that fits in the stock location and uses the stock fill hose. I think there is a guy about an hour away that can build a good one, I just havent had the truck running well enough to be able to take it to him until recently.

 

Sounds logical to me!

 

I put on the drop shackles on this morning. If the guy I bought it from had not of made his own trailer hitch and welded it right in my way it would have been a lot easier, but I got it done.





I took it to get aligned and appearently I need to replace the pitman and idler arms, along with one of the ball joints. Not really surprised given the miles on the truck, just annoying.

 

if you gotta do that and you do plan on 4wd launching i would decrank the front and try to get the flatest angles you can... get the cogito idler and pitman support and some moog bjs and idler and pitman and maybe some hiem steering just to stiffen up the steering..

 

Yea, thats why I didnt mind dropping the back so I could drop the front a little more. All 4 corners sit right around 33.5" at the top of the fender well, the angles are pretty flat. Didnt really want to spend $500 on steering parts yet...

 

500 would be cheap

 

Its about $550 for 4 ball joints, 2 inner, 2 outer tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm, and idler bracket, all moog stuff. Undecided about the cognito upgrades...not sure if Ill need it considering my tire size and that **** is just so overpriced.

 

it is overpriced.. you can get the pitman and idler support for about 200 bucks then some ffrhiem steering 240 then all you need is about 500 dollars worth of idler and pitman and balljoints

the hiem steering looks good too and alot stouter than factory stuff

 

just keep some lithium grease on hand for when they get noisey...love mine though

 

Be cool like the rest of us, replace stuff when it breaks.... And pray that doesn't happen down track lol
