I was wondering about that - looks like it broke close the mount for that...
Hey Htwon, I would love to see how you made your long range tank. I want to fab myself up one of these.
I really don't have many pics of it. I made the thing out of cardboard. This is where I cheeted alittle. I'm a fireman for the City of Houston, We have a fab shop with a sheer. I transfered all my patterns to the 3/16s plate and took it to our fab shop. I sheered it out, then brought it home and tacked it all together. After welding it up I presure tested it and put a gal of Northern tank liner in it and sloshed it around three times. it's alittle heavy but it should ride flex good. did you get a chance to check out the pic album?
had a very busy morning on the pig. i swaped out the worn out leaf spring bushings. pulled out the on board air tank and replaced it with a 5 gal tank. put in another 4 point harness still have 2 more to put in ugh! i put grip tape on my slyders the tape is from skateboard deck tape works great!
still need to install the new winch i got the other day and plum the air lines to the tank too many things to do not enough time in a day to do it in.

Loaded the truck up, and took it up to Clear Creek, with a photographer for some easy wheeling and pictures for a magazine.
It was a beautiful day up there!!

It's a special quarterly publication put out by Peterson, they just did one on JK's, the next one is on Toyota's and since my 55 has parts from EVERY Land Cruiser wagon (55, 60, 62, 80, and 100) , except a 45, the photographer thought that it was a good fit. Ha!
Hopefully I will have some actual action shots, from the photographer, but I imagine that I will only get the bad ones that can't make it in a magazine......
He also shot Ben from Slee's all Toyota, front axle. It is pretty awesome. Custom diamond housing for the 9.5" Land Cruiser rear diff and FJ80 steering. IF I ever have problems with the 80 front diff that is definitely they way to go.

Looking Good!
Is that angle iron screwed on to the rockers? I know the rockers are pretty prone to rust, would some silicon or something on the top help keep water out? Just a crazy idea. I would hate to see such a good looking pig get eaten by rust.
