    IMHO for a rock crawler good from far but far from good on the bodywork is fine or in other words looks good from 10 feet. With the talent you have displayed through the rest of this build I’m sure you can handle it just fine. It’s not rocket science unless you’re trying to build a show car.

    No way will your rig be a total beater. I think it’s doable if you paint a piece at a time. When I’m working on mine I just get it the best I can with out using Bondo, as I know it’s going to get dented/ scratched again and I don’t want to be cleaning Bondo off the trail. I call it good...

    I like a clean drive train and frame and body also. I have been know to crawl around under there with Murphy oil soap to clean things up 😂 But theres no way I would pay that kind of money for the blasting especially for a rock crawler. If it was a show car it might be different. Are you...

    That's a really cool truck. Don't tell , but I'm a big Ford fan always have been. I have had lots of them including fore E 250/350 4X4 Full size Vans in a former life as a Surfer and a few first gen Broncos to name a few.

    Hard for me to tell what’s going on in the pictures What’s the flat bar that extends under the bed for ?

    There’s a reason why Warn’s winch wiring diagram doesn’t have a cut off switch in it. It has you run the wires directly to the battery. I know it’s a huge debate and others will jump in and say why you need a switch. It’s the first time that it ever happened, but on my last trip to Fordyce...

    IMO no You don’t need to change anything just add the gussets as long as the run down the front back sides of the base and are welded. The only need to go up the straps enough that they don’t interfere with the bed in the front and they don’t block the hardware maybe 2/3 of the way up

    This would work well, creating a saddle out of the straps and hard mounting them at the same time. Extending the gussets down the front and rear sides is what will make the difference. Obviously @ntsqd is better at explaining things better than I ;)

    One of my wheeling buddies has the same 4wheelunderground setup as yours and yes he get hung up on those. I think your plan is a good idea. I think your mount is more then strong enough. The flex is going to come from the frame flexing as your rock Crawling not the weight of the tank. If you...

    I understand the issue, the base mount seem to be resting on the frame at the side and clamped to the cross pipe so yesI think there will be flex in the mount. I would also be concerned that when this flex/twisting is happening it may cause the straps rip or tear where the mounting holes are...

    Totally understand your concern I just don't think gusseting the straps is the answer I would think the four straps pulling down the flat surface of the tank to the flat surface of the mount would be sufficient to keep it from rocking If it was a completely round tank that would be different...

    I don't see the issue, the rubber you have under the plates should allow a little flex. Even with out the bolts on the sides I don't see the tank rocking,and if it does gusset on the straps is not going to stop it. The gussets would need to be welded to the base plate, and I really don't see...
