fuel tank in place of spare tire ?

[RustyNailJustin]

A buddy of mine who is good at welding aluminum and I built it.

I welded a couple tabs to the round tube cross member and used a piece of 1 inch square tubing across the inner frame braces and spare tire mount locations for the straps. A quick rattle can paint job and Bob's yer uncle. Ping me off line if you need better shots of the strap mounting locations.

Note: My rear cross member was in pretty bad shape, so I cut it (and 12 inches of the frame) out. This means that your application may look a little different, but the space for the tank is the same.

Coeman, hopefully this picture will help with the bumper side view. It was a quickie fab project before a wheeling trip to Colorado in 2012 that has yet to be replaced. A couple scraps of 1.75 inch DOM and a few left over plates.

What size tires and lift are you sporting looks good.

35x12.50x17s. Rear springs are OME medium duty from Kurt, fronts are Alcan custom at 3 inch lift.

The lift looks good, from the pic on my end looks almost stock, just the look I am after on my 45. Last question what is the width and back set on those wheels. I like they don't hang out . Best
