Im making progress on the fuel filler saga. Turns out you need to remove a bunch of the floor to fit a 40 and a fuel filler.
I want to do a bit of explaining here. Once the filler tube was cut i was fully committed. I have a new set of factory filler tube to tank hoses to use as a union between the now cut tube sections. The hoses will provide a bit of an advantage in locating the tubes, theyll make up some distance and theyll bend pretty easily. I wanted to keep the gas cap in the original position if i could, so i reinstalled the inner and outer rubber/plastic pieces, i jacked the tire up, then i installed the tube to see what kind of clearance i had, turns out i have plenty. Ill end mounting the the “tank side” tube in its original location and hoping the “body side” will be close enough to use the hoses to make up the difference. I havent tried that yet, but i will this week. This has been the hardest part of the project, mostly deciding how to do it, i had some buddies over to brain storm, we though of moving the fuel door in the body, boat style filler/caps with a long hose all the way to the tank, on and on and on… i just started cutting and this is what i ultimately wanted anyway, mostly stock. Ill update with more info and pictures soon.

Ive also started on the sliders, for a bit of break. The front end is coming off anyway but the fenders have to come off to so these sliders, so i got started on that, and i cut off the pie cut and bent chunks of inner fender.

Fuel filler “tank side” is reinstalled and the hoses were trimmed down about 2.5” I have fully installed the “body side” and it clears the tire completely, i do t have a picture of that at the moment. Ill be mounting the body side with a couple P-clamps and spacers to final position. More pictures when that happens.
Great work! The tubs came out great!
Well they extended out with round tube, or are you going with just the square tubing.
The only regret on mine was not extending the round tubing out another inch or two to keep the doors away for the rock a little better

For now im going to leave them like this. I can always add to them later if needed. I dont have a tubing bender or a buddy with one, so thats part of the reason. The other part is the leverage on the body, the further out the sliders extend the more leverage the rocks have to bend the stock rockers. I dont expect these to stay put too long if i get them in big rocks, but i have so much clearance that im not sure ill use these too often anyway. Time will tell..
