I love it when a plan comes together...

Mark did you decide what you were going to do with your Aussie fuel tank?

I keep fighting the urge to use it for a RTI ramp ; )

Which one of you's have that tiny tank? And does it accept the OEM sending unit?
I'd love to see a pic of it at least... that way I can start looking for one...

Here is the smaller subtank.

Here is the smaller subtank.

That subtank is not going to work on Lenny's pile...way more work that he needs to deal with.

 

[lenross1]

Will work in my 80 though

You mean my pile?

You're right... it won't work in my filth. For some reason, i was under the impression that the oem piece (oval) would drop right into this? it would be a no brainer for me if so.... move the tank into the bed and hook everything right back up the way it was... guess it won't be that simple will it?

Make a fuel pickup hose and cover for it, then run an electric pump.

I will be stretching the samurai over the next couple of months. I am still gathering parts for this.

Who needs what done to there truck ?

 

[MEMCruiser]

I need a new steering rack. Mine was leaking but seems to be under control. How hard is that job?

Also still need a rear bumper for the 100.

I think they are expensive for the 100. Sell that bitch and pic up one of the 80's for sale and be cheaper in long run.

oh geeze brother!! currently im redoing my tub inside but in this order bc of where I am with the interior.....

1. My rear tub sill channel is shot (Greg got me in touch with pacol guys)
2. Driver's floor pan looks like swiss cheeze (waiting on est. from pacol on this too)
3. rear main seal is leaking
4. front axle rebuild

ill stop there as this is a ridiculous list for me to even think about at this point....hence the new Sig line!!!!

Mike, fill that steering system up with Lucas stop leak. It really works.

I did that a month ago and it seems to have worked. I guess they have good stuff since they make enough to have this.

That thing looks like a mountain in Indianapolis.

that and

2 sceptor cans are under $100 = 10 gallons. I would need $1100 and 2 or so more gallons to equal the capacity of the subtank. and deal with wiring.

I have a subtank for sale ;p
