Just had a chance to read your thread, I bought a hard top from that guy a few years back. I got the tour of his shop also. He is a very nice guy. His son use to be on here a while back but I don't think he messes around here much anymore. Nice build by the way.

Installed gas tank and plumbed for fuel.

Anyone have measurements for how high the tank can go for a 2" body lift?

You aren't going to like those downturned exhaust pipes if you want to keep your truck clean, they will dust up everything and everyone around you.

Looks really nice. How do you like the new gas tank? I was thinking of getting one of those adjustable height tanks. Ken

I used the same oil cooler, it just seems like a perfect fit. I would highly suggest filling it up with power steering fluid. I went to these extremes to reduce the amount of air that can build up in your lines. Nothing worse than a PS pump spewing fluid all over everything when you go to start it up.

Been slowly collecting parts and waiting for weather to warm up. Finally sanded the bottom of the tub last weekend for raptor, going to spray this weekend.

Got my gauges too!
