    Order up a 19 gallon scout 2 fuel tank, perfect size. 24.5X24.5X10 Will be custom building a tool box/aux fuel tank/battery box in the bed of truck. So I’ll have a total of about 45 gallons of fuel.

    Drilled out frame for F250 Saginaw steering box, then inset tubing, welded both sides and plated frame. Should be strong enough now, and may ad hydraulic assist in the future depending on tire size I go with.

    Saw this on social media at a rally. Kind of the idea i'm going for. I'll have a canvas cover, with a roof rack above it for the tent and gear. Inside their will be a full rollcage with another seat mounted so I can bring the kids along on some day trips
