Heck I'm still on #8 and haven't got to any of 1-7 yet! I tried to install my CD player today only to find out that the install kit out of wifey's old Ranger is slightly different than what I need.

Have fun It's amazing how quick and responsive DP's lower setting are compared to the Six-Gun.
Reccomend a long handled brush for washing the truck. Don't forget inside the door sills (mine are very rusted around the rubber "seals"

I'm pulling the big tank from the bed of the truck and start prepping for a Linex.
Floor of the bed of the truck is starting to rust.

Talking

Well shovel snow off driveway so I could lay on my back and change oil.

Then do more reading on FTE about DP tuner vs. Tony W.
Then lay down on couch because it's 3:00 am and all I can think about is getting a tuner!!!!
I think I caught the bug

Was hoping to get the new exhaust installed, but the wife is going to be gone most of the day and is leaving the baby with me.....guess I'll get some bonding time in.

It will happen, but not until June. This is the best weekend for me to get the tank out and stowed away, then other things to do like a 25th anniversary trip to Hawaii in three weeks.

Well lets see, My sig says nothing awaiting install, so i guess that means nothing.

Was going to go help Rampage_F350 put on a new set of bellowed uppipes, but he took half a day off yesterday and already did them.

I did have a new windshield installed yesterday.
Possibility of rain here for the next two days spo I am not going to wash just yet.

Dan, is that a custom made fuel tank? Seems to fit the opening in the bed very well.

It is a Transfer Flow 98 gallon tank.
I had to notch the bed of the truck in order for it to fit without putting it on a pallet.
I ran it on a pallet the first year, but could not make full 90 degree turns without having the trailer come too close to the tank for comfort.
So I notched the bed and removed the pallet.

Link to the tanks if you want one.

I think they are worth every penny because you can get fuel on your own time instead of sweating it to the next town if you are low and in a remote location. Been there done that. 135 gallons total fuel capacity - there is NO WAY that you can drive it all out without having to stop for some other reason. Now I can drive for two days.
Big $$$$ to fill it up, but it ends up being the same amount of money spent in the end.
