How tiny is that gas tank capacity :rofl: ?

looks to be around 20+ gallons or so. Maybe more. If it uses the stock pump then itll be about 12" tall (give or take a little) and its almost as wide as the front bed mounts. So I'm guessing around 34" wide. Not sure how long it is, but its longer then my cell and mines around 22 gallons and it measures 34x12(give or take a little)x13.

I love the look of camber but dnw any on my truck other than whats needed for laying out and performing correctly. Gonna load the welding cylinder in the '66 caddi before work tomorrow and take it to get filled during my lunch break. Then do some welding when I get off. Ordering an overflow from Trevor at metal worx this weekend or beginning of next. Waiting on him to get some measurements for me. Then its saving time for the MMW arms and some accuair stuff.
 
For now my 17" aluminum wheels, then some 17" steelies like Aaron(numatk_07) but with white caps, then when I body drop I'll get some 24" billets. Probably from raceline.

Hm looked way smaller to me for some reason, maybe that skinny frame is messin with me.

And def agreed on no more camber than necessary, although that comes with the territory with an indep suspension. My 01 has pretty minimal camber and good angles up front for the time being, but Im not laid out. Props to the guy for the work - that mustve taken some engineering and creativity - cool stuff just not my style either.

IRS is big with the guys I hang with. bodied toyota with IRS from a jaguar, bodied 2004 ranger on 22's with IRS, and right now, my buddy's working on a box s-10 to lay on 24's and doing a IRS on it. it looks like a lot going on but's it's actually easier to do than building a front suspension. you have room to build the arms wider or closer to wheels because you don't have to worry about turning. you can use heim joints (meaning you dont have to worry about binding) on the rear because you are only worrying about spindle moving up and down and not rotating too like up front.

front camber looks terrible there is like 20* easy, rear setup seems cool

I doesn't have 20*. no fender, no alignment, and camera angle is tricking you. same arm setup, everything aligned, and front clip on:

Looks a ton better there, I just compaired the front and rear. Sweet little truck.

I understand man. This guy has been building trucks for 10+ years. He's taught me a lot over the years. If I ever have a question, he's my go to guy.

His truck doesn't get much time on it because he stays booked up. His truck is ridiculous detailed. He did custom spindles and arms on the blue ranger.
