Re: worked on my truck some . . .
looks good . its gonna sux puting gas in it were it is mounted (but it not like this is a dailey driver ) mines was any spills and you are getting high off of it .. just a thought but when i did my cell i just made a box the same size as the cell and flush mounted it near the taligate and also made a space for my batteries too . and since it doesnt look like you are mounting a spare tire back under there that would be a good spot. that and you will have more cargo space to haul . but i dont think you made this truck for convience just to play in the mud.. my cell got stolen where u have your right now . just my two cents. nice build

Re: worked on my truck some . . .
well i don't haul much in the bed anymore (no more 2700 lb junk metal runs). . maybe just a tow rope and some people lol. . . i'm making an aluminum box to go all the way across the bed and you won't beable to see the cell that way people can't step on it . . i was trying to decide where to put it because i don't wanna move it again . . was trying to plan for a roll cage and all . .wanna run stacks but probably take them to the outside of the bed . . . . if i ever go trail riding i might take a spare but don't know how in the world i would get it up (tow truck i guess) then just kick it off . .somewhere around 600 lbs for tire and wheel . .lol
