What do you have done to your truck on the rear? I don’t think I’d ever go 37” tires but probably will bump up to 35” tires from my 33” tires I currently have. I also run a 17” wheel.

Honestly not much. Toytec boss shocks, 861s, extended bump stops. Its all pretty standard. Rear pinch welds are trimmed on the front and rear of the wheel well. If you keep you backspacing down (4.25-4.5") you'll tuck it inside the top lip of the body with minor massaging necessary. It does mean I run spacers up front to get the track width I want, but I'm fine with that if it means I'm not reworking a whole bunch of sheet metal and losing my flares.

Yeah, I just learned something about cross-posting photos. Should work now, I think?
Well the bumper is the same, there is an additional non-BL install kit in development. I've got the main mounts sorted, working on the frame extensions currently.

Hate posting from the computer, but decided its time. [MENTION=28464]eimkeith[/MENTION] hooked it up with his personal prototype and I was able to get it done before Rubicon late August. Hence why I painted it on the truck.

Changing the topic back to Fuel Tank Relocation.
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere...I came across a gadget called Fuel-Link by Classic Instruments which looks like it can calibrate any sending unit input. (For those of us who want to use the OEM gas gauge and don't want to modify the sending unit in the Ford tank).
Summit Racing Link
It isn't cheap ($122)...but it looks easy to set up and is probably more accurate than my fuel tank sending unit/reader is now :heh:. Anyone aware of other calibration gadgets out there?

wow - that looks really promising.
So wire the ford sender / pump to the factory Toyota wiring with his interfacing some how between the two and my factory gauge in the cluster will work?
Not as cool as having an auto meter gauge on the dash but cleaner and easier. F150 autometer gauge is $63 so not terribly to much cheaper than that unit.

Yeah it appears to do exactly that.

The plastic piece to cover the bumper comes from the OEM running boards, they just need to be trimmed, not from a 4runner rear bumper.
