so the gas tank tuck is just abount finished. need a little more sheet steel to finish it. came out alright. I drilled and tapped some holes on top to have a bolt on cover incase i ever need to pull my tank, and my tap snape'd a good ways through, so i went to the home guido and purchased another tap. and thing cut one hole then became dull. i threaded all the bolts in and a few of them got stuck and when i tried to remove them they took the threads out with them and they just spun in there, so i said f' it and i just hammered the heads off those bolts.

everything is tack welded, and the gaps are bondo'ed.

i used foam sealant in one place (my floor is wavy and flat steel left big gaps there)

i know we are all our own worst critic though.

I am now debating on a chop top.

not sure if i want a 2 door or keep it 4 door, but im thinkin either chop it like dan's right behind the rear seats (but not as far because if i keep the rear doors i want a comfortable backseat)

either that or chop it right after the front doors and make it more like a pickup.

and if i do go through with this the bed will have some sort of a tonneau cover and an opening to get to the passenger compartment. I want to be able to sleep/store long things in there still.

but i'm gonna save that for when my body becomes as spent as my green jeep at its demise.

that would be sweet! I'd be interested in seeing some gas tank pics at somepoint.

tore an irok sidewall on a public road today.

the gas tank tuck is nice, but needs to be finished

i cut away a lil extra metal so i can have easy fuel pump access, but that gives the exhaust that dumps out before the rear axle a nice route to my interior , and it heats the tank up just enough for fumes to seep out of the evap/vent shizahs on top of the tank, and i ran out of sheet to finish the job, so i get a nice mixture of exhaust and gas fumes in my jeep now

How did you tear a sidewall?

[KtmRacer419]

i was driving down a narrow road.

it was covered in leaves

i pulled as far to the right as i could safely go (or so i thought)

then my jeep fell into a small ditch and onto a boulder. i went from 20 mph to 5 mph pretty quick, pinched the sidewall against the rim.

the ditch was so full of leaves it appearent to be flat

i can beat the shit out of my jeep offroad and never have a tire issue, but i drive on the street and bam sidewall gone

That really sucks. Who makes a tire with a decent side wall these days?

[CumminsJeep]

wow that blows sam....you cant get a break sometimes, you can jump it at mabell and rausch but you go a little off the road and you blow a sidewall. ghey...
