This is really close to frame all the way around. 1/2 in from sides back and 48deg frame corner braces. With my 14bolt pushed back 4 inches I have 4 3/4 in up travel till center section hits bottom of tank but my bump stops are 4 inches so hopefully it works out.
Hydromat does anyone else use...
I am moving mine to rear outside. I bought a NOS confer tank it was a nogo with my 14 bolt pushed back 4 inches. I spent some time with tape measure and drew up a tank for rear. I had steel water jet cut at work and sent it to get bent on CNC brake. Front bottom and rear one piece 1/4in...
Been working loads of hours and I built a 1995 4 Runnef up on the quick. 22RE 5 Spd just spacers and OME coils new shocks 4:88’s with Detroit locker in back and true track in front. I put rear discs on and am running 255/85r16 Falken wild peak MT tires. Couldn’t pass it up we get a good bit...
Well I didn’t get the steel back for my tank. My buddy is cutting it on his laser and bending it on his CNC press. Bottom/front back will be one piece 1/4 steel. Sides and top will be 14 gauge.
So this morning I built and tacked on my rear shock hoops. Not finished yet once body on and...
Rear confer fuel tank for FJ40. I searched for a hood one got one with confer skid plate but will not work for what I need. Located in WA State (east side). $200 and it’s yours. Shipping on your dime but it’s big and bulky to ship.
Next up I’m welding my rear tank up, putting my walboro pump in for LS sender for fuel gauge and installing it. Then shock hoops front and rear. Body back on soon after.
Here are the spacers I turned at work to add to my shackles so the creeper joints would equal the same width as my FJ62 rear springs. I’ll post pictures finished so it shows the perspective.
I like the mount. You definitely put some thought into that. I do have a question. You are running flat flanges what U joint did you end up running? I was originally going to run toyota joints but after talking to drive shaft shop they recommended running at least 1350 you joints. I...
Nice build. Looks like it should work really well. I really like the rear fender flares (be fore warned I plan to build similar).
Thanks for posting up a post build analysis...
I am building this not to be a wheeler for crazy trails and I am old enough that I've tested full throttle assaults' and don't wish to pay for parts like I used too. 95% plus of this things use will be hunting and snow wheeling. I also agree with that much weight not hanging off the rear...
So before I put my confer tank in I had to get my rear axle back in place. Well rear tank does not fit. I literally have 2 inches between the 14bolt truss and fuel tank. So I’m building a tank. I spent a few hours yesterday measuring and drawing up the tank so I can get all the pieces cut on...
