Finally got around to getting the new gas tank, filler neck and skid plate installed. Lot of work, but totally worth it. Now that rusty turd that was in there won't be the demise of such a nice truck.

It was great meeting a fellow h8er.
I have only been to Death Valley when it's hot. feels like a proper desert then.
Put in thicker drive flanges... Way less slop now.
This pic hurts my brain. Everything looks wrong.

Did some camping at a nearby Forest Service Campground. It's one of our favorites because it's always empty and about 10 minutes away.
Shot my flares with some Dupli-Color Bed Armor, and put them back on with new hardware. Someday, when I'm feeling ambitious, I'll weld up all the holes and paint.
I don't get it? It's a wheel...
Be forewarned that stuff can get pretty gummy in the sun. Don't lean on it too much, because it will leave prints.

I've used it on some trim pieces on other vehicles in the past and haven't had that issue. The Rustoleum brand has done that (stayed soft and gummy). I'll keep an eye on it, though.
Hit up the Grand Canyon yesterday. Just a flying visit but still saw a lot.
Started with this big guy (not 100% sure what it is) strolling out in front of me. Saw some good views.
Ended up camping in the park and I even used my tent so I would look normal. Still prefer sleeping in the truck.

Yeah, the Duplicolor stuff is better, but I have had a little bit of an issue with it, especially before it fully cured.

Was happy to get a slow weekend for once. Made some time to get the boys together for a picture though.
Went fishing Saturday
Tcase crawler gears sure made a difference but this truck is still begging for something lower.
took the boat out with LC no problem pulling it with the 5.3 V8
Took 3 inches outta the front fenders in preparation for 37s.
Kids are cruel but hilarious. My brother has been using my 80 while his Suburban gets fixed. He is teaching the oldest of his kids to drive. The other 3 are in there screaming "get out of the way save yourselves" or making other remarks its hilarious. When they get to choose the songs on the stereo they play songs like "Highway to hell". Sarcastic little boogers.

I have seen this by @bkcruiser but have not heard back from him yet with info.... I believe he is a Sacramento guy.
I'm willing to go this route, but that also eliminates the option of a 3link unless I link the driver side.
Is just stock 80 routing, nothing special
