  1. Not for nothing, the gas tank. I see this in many aftermarket tanks. Welded on mounting flanges. BAD IDEA!! There is a reason OEM tanks were secured with belly straps. In a collision you don't want a rigidly attached piece ready to tear open your tank, that's why the bands around the tank holding it up. Wiggle room. Do you thing for a moment OEMs would have put one more step in the assembly than they had to? As an aside, I was off roading in my '62 chevyII (Don't judge me, it was a stock 194 6cyl 2 speed iron powerglide, I paid $25 for, those were the days, sold it for $75, thought I was making a killing!) I heard my muffler dragging. I got out and my tank was being dragged behind me by the fuel line. Impact had unhooked the hooks in the front. But I lived.

  2. For the price of all that hardware, I could get a really nice used truck, and not have to build anything. It's stupid to spend all that money on a truck that you're afraid to beat on, dropping them is the absolute worst thing anyone can do to trucks, unless you want to plow snow without a plow.
