I think it was about 84" outside of tires.

When my money tree is at full bloom.

Out of curiosity, are those toyos 35/12.5/15s? I skimmed through the thread to find the size, maybe I just missed it? I'm going to get a set of these, but had only seen the a/ts in smaller sizes until now... Truck looks great btw! I'm a little jealous of your rear setup, keep up posted on how you like the 64s!

The last picture posted, shows Stainless fuel line, battery cables? And another couple wires all ziptied together....


Id highly recommend mounting the fuel lines and battery cable by themselves with adel clamps.... to the frame.... the stainless fuel line is very good and cutting thru battery cables....

Just a thought

Ya, I thought about that when I was mounting them...I was just really running out of room for everything with brake lines, 3 fuel lines, and battery cable. Theres just not much room, and it complicates everything else on the inside of the frame. You think if I just wrapped the battery cable with some kind of braided sleeving, it'd be alright, or you really think I should just relocate it all together?

I was also kinda rushing things a little, so I could get it running...But I do plan on going back and changing that around.

Honestly the furthest you get them apart from each other (electrical/fuel) the better... just zip tie the fuel line to the bottom of the inside of the rail... electrical to the top... just an idea

The tires are 35x12.50 R15's. And so far its just been on the street, but without any tuning or valving of the shocks, it rides super smooth. So far I love the 64's. Theyre unlike any other leaf pack ive experienced.

Havent had much time to do anything to the truck lately...But I did manage to wash it finally, after not being washed for almost a year and a half.











Oh, and I finally got a new DD/ Tow Truck to complete my mini fleet. Three deep (Third back is now for sale).

It's all so nice!!!!!

Nice enough for you to get one again??

You have to color match the cab to the glass, and then get the beadlock/simulock rings powdercoated red. It would deffinitly set the truck off and match the interior.
VERY clean truck btw..

You may have answered this already but why do you have so many pickups in your fuel cell.

thats the plan! repaint the whole truck stock color, then powder coat rings to match.

theres only 2 pickups. Its got 2 pickups, 1 vent, and 1 return. This way I have two seperate supply lines...so if i get a clogged filter, defective fuel pump, clogged pickup or anything like that, I can switch to the auxilary supply line and have everything seperate.

Ya, thats my brother. Not much happening to the truck right now as I just bought a new truck and trailer. So I got lay low for a little while and save up some more money...Soon enough I'm gonna get a 9" Full Floater and have kel finish everything up including front bumper, custom center console, mounting lowrance gps, mounting floor jack, and more plating from cab to cage on inside. Then the plan is to get the inside sprayed with bedliner, then off to my new sponsor's shop for paint. Just gonna stick with the stock red color and I think Kel wants his logo on each door...We'll see...Hopefully it will be coming together soon.
