    That's exactly my issue with it. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Frame undercarriage prep and paint

    Yeah, it's phosphoric acid stuff. Many swear by it, but there's some arguments about paint adhesion if you dont wash it all off. Lots of arguments about por15, too, though. I just dont really understand what por15 does that paints dont? Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    10-4. That's pretty cool. I was just looking at options for mine. I dont think, for me, that's one of my options. Ha.. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    I'll take a look at mine tonight and see if mine has the holes. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Fuel Tank Size

    Overall, probably not worth it. Plus, it would take you out of the elite club of dual 16 galloners. :D Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Fuel Tank Size

    Good info, man. That was my concern, too. Mostly the filler necks. Not sure if there are factory holes for the other tank brackets, but that could be a little bit of a pita, too. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    What size shielding gas tank to get for welding

    Awesome, man. It's night and day different with gas when it comes to aesthetics, spatter, smoke, etc. I'm really happy to have gas back again. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Decent Paint That Won't Break the Bank

    Good to know about summit and Eastwood. My plan was originally to do spi epoxy, followed by a urethane color from tcp, and spi clear. I heard tcp regular clear is kinda ok, their speed clear sucks, but spi clear is really good. But I'm still on the fence about even trying to do a bc/cc...

    What size shielding gas tank to get for welding

    Ended up getting a new tank today. $180 out the door and they threw in a pack of 35 tips I needed. That's ok. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    I'm honestly leaning towards tcp global again. And trying to decide if I really want to try to do a bc/cc in my fucking driveway. The two times I did single stage, I was pretty impressed with them. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Decent Paint That Won't Break the Bank

    I don't know why I have such a problem with the duplicolor name. I think it's because I welded and rattle canned a Toyota pickup bed with it some years back. Lol Honestly, though, the blue color was pretty damn close. :D Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Frame undercarriage prep and paint

    I've been wondering what I'm going to do, too. I have the bed off and at least feel like I should do brake lines and clean up the frame, etc. My plan was to pressure wash for dirt and loose stuff, then wire wheel, ospho, rinse and repeat. Then epoxy. I'm not sold on por 15, honestly. I don't...

    Decent Paint That Won't Break the Bank

    I've heard of that before, but dont know much about it. I'll definitely look in to it. Thanks. I keep hearing that SPI makes good primers for not much money, so I may get some primer from them. They supposedly have paint, too, but only like 5 colors or something. That would be cool if they...

    Decent Paint That Won't Break the Bank

    It seems when people ask this question on paint or body forums, a lot of guys just get all huffy and say "you never want to skimp on this!" or "if you're worried about a few hundred bucks, you re in the wrong hobby" etc.. But let's be real here. Some people were getting quotes of like $800 for a...

    What size shielding gas tank to get for welding

    Well I just got prices from a few places near me on a new 80cf tank. $270, $260, $280. Then I talked to one of my work suppliers who originally quoted $260 but said they'd discount me and do $180 filled w/taxes and everything included. How are you guys getting such good prices?! Sent from my...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yep, my factory 87 brackets had nuts already welded to them. I was concerned about that in the beginning. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    The 16 gal capacity is for WARM gas. This is COLD gas, ya frickin' gringo. Go ahead and touch it. It's cold. Esta frio! Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    I bet the dirt in my truck is close to maxing out the payload.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, I got both new tanks in, senders/pumps, new straps, and a new selector valve. And everything works! Hallelujah! I've never even had a frickin gas gauge that worked at all, so it's pretty cool to see the gauge work on TWO different tanks. And when I hit the switch to change tanks and it...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    My new ones were the same as stock and even had the same harnesses. The only minor difference was that the ground was in a different spot on the new units, but the same connection for the frame. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Driver or passenger side? It looks like the drivers side has a good bit more play in the lines. Not so sure how easy the passenger side would be. I think it's totally doable, but even when I just had one line hooked up, the stupid tank didn't want to drop. It took me a while to get those...
