this guy runs on dew.

You don't know the half of it. There should be a sticker somewhere that says "This build powered by Mtn Dew and Jack Daniels"

so greg headed down for Friday night and today worth of work
figure i wont have power so he headed home before it gets bad

made a platform for the Excursion tank to sit on
the factory skid plate was just to much and way to heavy
the 18 gauge is laid on top of a frame of 1"x1" 1/8" wall grid 4" off the ground

tank in place

from the rear

drivers side

front

Nice. Its getting there. Getting the fuel tank back in mine felt like a major accomplishment for me. I could drive it at that point.:rockon:

 

[DcMoore]

Nice drop!

That video is sweet. Will it be able to lay frame once the bed is on and with different wheels and tires?

well after a friend from CT coming down 2 weekends straight and racking our brains for 2 weekends
we've come to the conclusion that the stock control arms with ball joints will not work

so introducing the next thing to save for... michigan metal works custom control arms
Chevy Dually Upper and Lower Arm Set

got to work the other day and found a huge box wrapped in yellow tape that weighed like 30 pounds

this was inside:

t4 turbo mount

t4 uppipes

inter cooler pipes

intake elbow

turbo elbow

intake adapter

Misc clamps

the pipes are powder coated the wrong color for my truck but that will be an easy enough fix

all these parts are custom one off as of now so if interested you will have to call Clay @ Riff Raff about building another set up
