carwash pimpin' IS easy Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Union, KY Posts: 3,344 Images: 605	Ok, due to popular demand, i put some extra support around the tanks. This should take care of any possible issue on a rear endover... Lines up well with the angle of the line of the back of the chassis. Came out very well i think. I wasn't excited about adding this as i was afraid it would kill the lines of the back of the chassis. But, after seeing how it turned out, i'm happy with it. __________________
