[@B.lake623]

Try replacing the liner in your Miller. That got mine back pulling wire smoothly.

[@skillset_ben]

@Lakeside623 Yeah I think you may be right. I've had other people tell me that. Maybe a full maintenance before it heads to the shop

[@MrReaper5120]

Did you ever re gusset the front upper bag brackets?

[@skillset_ben]

@MrReaper5120 Yes, sir. They've been done all ladt year since the first time i bagged the truck. I completely redid them when I bodydrop the truck. Go checkout video: Lower Control Arms episode 13....and you can see it all. ❤️🤙

[@MrReaper5120]

@skillset_ben I see it now I remembered the triangulation from that episode but didn't notice the upper brackets were re gusseted. Btw love the videos glad to see a member with a channel

[@User33134]

What gauge sheet metal is commonly used for fabricating body panels, c notch cover, cab panels for the body drop?

[@skillset_ben]

18 gauge seems to be the go to choice for most. Someone feel free to chime in. Any fabricatiors out there?....🤣❤️

[@User33134]

@skillset_ben Thanks i have seen a couple c notch covers for sale and it was 18g. I just wasn't sure if that's what you used when you did your body drop. I'm thinking about trying to add tubs and a c-notch cover myself on my s10

[@skillset_ben]

@@User33134 Oh nice. That's gonna look rad❤️

[@cassiejorgensen4787]

Can you use a 4Runner gas tank?

[@skillset_ben]

@cassiejorgensen4787 I'm sure you can use whatever tank you desire. With the bags and bars, there's no room in the stock location for anything. ❤️🤙
