I surgically out-boarded the frame 3.5 inches per side just aft of the front cab mount and boxed/reinforced it from tip to tail. Outboarding the frame provided the room for a second Dakota 24 gallon tank and...my 40" spare tire
boo-yahh
With a big gas tank along both the insides of the frame the exhaust runs underneath - the cab and tanks make a 'tunnel', with the rear driveshaft underneath, all protected by a massive up-armored belly cradle. To keep the exhaust from melting things the exhaust went to Jet Hot and the underside of the cab got several dozen square feet of DEI floor and tunnel shield - it looks like a satellite under there -
Made a clean dash to monitor everything 'old school' -
There's a ridiculous amount of 'more' done to the thing, and I'll keep this thread updated as the shenanigans progress.
