Pictures, or it didn't happen!

 

I got the idea off this forum years and years ago...2011 maybe? lol

There are 2 bolts. they bolt it to the frame rail when inside the frame rail. undo them, flip the mount to under the frame rail and re-tighten. it worked out very well. I too was having that clunk

 

Hey, Donald, I solved my clunking sound, too.

 

Was waiting for me when I got home.

Great opportunity to get my son in the garage.


Lifted it right at 3 in the back and 4 1/2 in the front.i have a double layering stabilizer kit to install next.

 

Definitely spend a little time on youtube looking at some of my suggestions. It will be very different up there than a few years ago when you stayed down near Dover / Durham. If you guys decide on somewhere else, there is always next year !

 

I think I have all the parts:

Fuel filler hoses; 3/4" and 1.1/2"
New filler neck
Curt hitch
Ford hitch hardware
Hutch mod kit (Strictly Diesel)

Any tips?

 

Use two stacks of 16" 2x4 blocks to lower and raise the tank. Go side to side removing or adding blocks. Thank me later...

 

Heed this man's words....

 

I did use some 2 buh fers, made a 'T' on the jack pad and used a small one when it tipped to the right.

It actually came out fairly easy. Once out, I put it on my creeper to move it around. I ran the fuel level way down so the tank itself is not too heavy. That steel tub on the other hand.....speaking of which, anyone have a decent one laying around? Mine is fairly rusty and does have a hole in the driver rear corner area. It had about 8 pounds of dirt, rocks and rust in it.

Anyway, I'll do the hutch mod tomorrow and get the tank ready, swap the hitch and then Monday call around and see what I can find. If nothing, I'll put some protective covering in the rusty spots and use what I have for now.

I'll post some pics tomorrow, getting ready for a hockey game.

 

Filled it up, 12.4mpg!! One of my best ever, 311.8mi, 25.1gal. I blame the e0 Shell fuel. Filled up at costco so next will probably be 11-11.5 :/

also bought junk

 

That’s not junk, those are ‘mater cages.

 

yup, heavy duty 54" tall ones!
and 12 16" pavers, and 150lbs of play sand.

also found my Klein sidecutters in the lower left, MIA since fall of 2017....apparently i need to clean under the cargo mat more often, lol

 

Maters don't grow well in sand.

 

Actually they do great in sand if you keep them watered. Many tomato farms on the DelMarVa Peninsula.

 

but my 4 kids do
