Farmer Joe Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 mark, ive had the tank in the bed for a while now.. didnt really dig it being under the truck being that low. you can see it in the first picture where the hood is in the bed.. had a fuel cell for a while before i went back to a stock tank last year. i did a full return system too so it would stop vapor locking.. yeah, this thing has gone through 3 main leafs in the time ive had it lowered. first one broke, second and third were drug through... lol and last but not least, the frontend parts from the D21s we tore apart! gonna get those sorted out here later on today.. its all coming together!!!! i was starting to worry about the time left till canby. im sure ill have it ready now. oh yeah, the timing kit is shipped. should be here later this week! woot! 2 Quote Link to comment

Farmer Joe Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 What the hell ? Do you have a camera man? Every time I think I should take a picture I am all covered in some kind of Crap . I come read up on your tread and its like a dam movie ! I m not complaining, I'm envious in fact . gloves are my best friend in the cold garage... they also keep the brunt of the grease off my hands, soo it works out okay.. hahaha so i got stuck on trying to get the front passenger lower control arm off the truck.. the bolt is corroded real bad into the sleeve of the bushing.. i put some penetrating oil spray on it last sunday and havent been out to the garage since.. i couldnt even turn the bolt, so im guessing a new bushing will be in order. is there a bushing removal tool that will work for the 620? more to come. 1 Quote Link to comment
