Been a little bit busy but thought I would post a few updates.
Finally got the rear pump station removed. What a pain the the A$$ that was but its done. The rear pump station was not only bolted onto the frame but it was tack welded in spots making it a bit of a challenge to remove. Persistence prevailed!
Significantly lighter now, better handling and dare I say sporty off the line
The 1HZ appreciates all the help it can get.
The rear spare tire carrier had to go and new mounts for the gas tank were fabricated. New tank and brackets dropped in like a glove and so far I am really happy with the turn out. Will need to go back and do some touch up jobs for rust prevention but all in all it was a productive and successful day.
To be legal I picked up some fenders from the local Princess Auto and through them on. Very little allowance was left but now with the 3" OME that was recently installed there is certainly no rubbing. All of this will come off in spring anyways when the tray gets installed.
The only hiccup I encountered was the fuel sender. The new tank was a two wire unit and the old a three wire. I tried several times but finally resorted to picking up a new sender. Hopefully will fix the issue and ill have my gas gauge back.
On the to-do list is to build a temporary frame for the back just to keep things covered and to add a little sandbag weight for traction.
