Makita Sawzall that saved my arse today...

[barf]

I have a DeWalt reciprocating saw that I use a lot, but for the fuel tank straps I just used a real cheap 4.5" angle grinder.

It's hard to tell in this picture, but that middle tank strap was so rusty that I don't know how it hadn't snapped yet.



I pulled my side skirts off when the truck was new, years later bought the little white fenders from a wrecker, and now have zero desire to ever have the skirts back on it, so I went with stainless tank straps.

There's been other posts here about how crappy the painted steel ProStar fuel tank straps are. I've had 5 break in the 10 years that I've owned this truck, so for a while I carried a spare with me. Now that I have all stainless, I hope that problem is over. Please check your tank straps!
