1986 22RE 1st gen 4Runner, SAS, 35 w/ beadlocks, lincoln locked trail rig
I've beat my factory fuel cell into a raisin, factory skid has become irreparable. This is a 90% trail rig only, with the occasional trip to work on a nice day (only work 4 miles away). I plan on running a small 10 gallon tank since my I usually dont burn an entire factory tank in a weekend I figure itll be fine if I roll with two 5 gallon spare jugs.
So here are my questions:
1. I've heard bad things about aluminum fuel cells cracking at the seams. BUT, they are so much cheaper and mounting is easy. What about mounting it to the body with rubber bushings to isolate it from some of the impact shock? Or, do yall have some clever ideas, or debunking the myth I've heard.
2. What fuel pumps do yall run (e.g. what psi?) and do you leave in the factory pressure regulator and just let it do its thing to get the pressure where it needs to be. AND, do you run a return with the pump / regulator combo you've selected.
