After some research decided the cheap aluminum straps are a bad idea. Making a support cradle instead, still need to add the gussets and some rubber lining.
Still waiting on the tank to be done at the weld shop. So I went ahead and finished the fuel pump harness extension. 6.5ft should allow for me to mount it along the frame, out of harms way.
Going off the Motobilt kits for the jeeps, this is a similar design.
I think it’ll be fine, with the metal cloak bumper, the 3/16 skid and being surround by the frame. Although I will say this is not a daily driver, strictly a trail truck. Also the tank is pretty high up no where near the...
More progress today…got the tank dropped and determined the lines, splices, and connections I’ll need to make it work. The oem pump flange from Boyd is perfect. Pump height is spot on too, won’t need to extend the support rods. Should have the tank back from the welder in a few days. Hopefully...
Started the process of relocating the fuel tank to the rear. Capacity is 17gal same as stock. This will allow for a true triangulated 4link setup. Also it allows for trail repair of a fuel pump without dropping the tank. The bottom of the tank sits flush with the bumper. Also picked up a muffler...
The rears were garbage, folded after sending the tire into the fender well, the tire grabbed the edge and folded it. The front have held up pretty good.
Would anyone happen to know a resource for part numbers? I'm looking for the part numbers for the male and female pigtail connectors for the fuel tank harness highlighted below. I'm extending the fuel tank harness for my rear mounted fuel tank and would like to make a "plug and play" harness...
Ordered the tank and OEM pump flange. Ready to make this happen! I found a skid that will probably work with little modification. Rock Hard 4x4™ Muffler Skid Plate for Ford Bronco 2021 - Current [RH-60507]
Found an “off the shelf” tank that should fit, same capacity as stock. Still going to make a template to be sure, but I think this is what I’ll be using.
Going to start working on the next big project earlier than I thought. Switching to a fuel cell and relocating to the rear. Found all the pieces needed to relocate it just need to start ordering and get it done. Starting with the pump flange and tank.
