Took her to gas up and got almost 20 gallons in it. I thought I bought an 18 gal. tank from Tanks Inc!

Then to the local bike shop for roadie inner tubes I use to cover my tailgate chains until I get some proper covers made to match my interior. A quick cruise of Colorado Blvd to show her off to the afternoon's shoppers and got a few thumbs up. Finally to Sierra Madre - a small village area - for a slice of pizza and home to the garage.

Took a couple pics. The stance is flat wrong...as in too flat. It used to be lower in front. I raised it which ruined the stance. I've decided to raise the front til the top of the tire is barely visible THEN raise the rear 1" using blocks and longer U bolts. As is, the tire hits when backing out of my driveway. Comments welcome.
I agree that the back could be a little higher than the front. What a nice truck!!
