    Want to relocate your gas tank?

    hey great writeup. I am sorry to say that you are not the first to relocate a new tank behind the axle, I have used a bronco 2 tank behind the axle of my 93. The bronco 2 tank fit very well as well, and looks very similar to your f-150 tank. Nice job the install came out great.

    1st Gen Toyota front clip

    Haha I know the toyota/ford cross breeding is weird, but like slammedx said, the geometry is great on them. So you mean youd like to see my beam setup? I just bought new RE-7's and went from 4 1/2'' valves to 8 3/8'' valves. Oh and I also had to make new front bag brackets and do quite a few...

    Stock floored xploder

    looks good man, nice work. You can get a tubing bender from harbor freight for 60 bucks and I bend DOM with mine, works great. SlammedX is right about the reverse link, they are geometrically unfit for any type of acceleration or braking and are basically dangerous as hell. I have a 2-Link setup...
