I guess I am ordering a new tank tomorrow.
JBweld it...it's totally safe
If you still think you need a new tank after this, find one at a junkyard at your leisure or get a fuel cell later down the road. You'll regret the $100 on a JCWhitney tank.

You might try Ace Nut and Bolt in Bryan. I can't remember where Paul found the ones for my Jeep, but if I talk to him this evening I'll ask.
I got spring pins at Napa by Walmart in CS...be sure and bring the remnants of the old ones with you...and a piece of garden hose (they usually need some persuasion before they stop saying "we don't have them" and go in the back and look)
I got my center pins at NAPA as well.
Mine came from a trailer shop.
I use grade 8 bolts and a little grinding to the heads.
grade eight allen heads- no grinding required
Not to me shown up by Tate...
rear is done except for the hard lines. I used a flaring tool to flare the hard lines, but they are leaking big time and I can not seem to get a good flared end.

kinda a ride height...it will drop alot in the rear after the gas tank, bumper, tire carrier, spare, and hardtop are on.
4 degree shims up front got me back to about 4.5 degrees castor.

hey john, make sure you double flare the hard lines. also when you cut the lines to length, you have to get a round file and file out the inside of the tube. when you cut it, it gets a little lip that makes double flaring it damn near impossible. after you get this lip off it will work no problem.

how you gonna get it out of there, take all the air out of the tires? It looks a little to big to get out but looks good on a second note.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!

I keep cracking the ends. When you say double flare, do you jsut mean do it twice?Originally posted by StevenAg03
