There are pics in my gallery, none from the back but there is one from the front and side, cann't see it at all from the side and from the front you can see its sits higher than my crossmember.

I'd be more worried about the hole you'll have to cut in the side of the box than how low the tank hangs.
Does everybody who installs these tanks cut out that crossmember?

I was looking at mine, and I could reposition the crossmember further back, but that crossmember is a heavy duty piece and it goes right between both of the leaf spring hinges! That crossmember looks way stronger than the RamCharger ones too, and the RamCharger ones aren't going to be in the same place either...

I never tow anything, but cutting out that crossmember scares me. Would anybody be so kind to talk me into it? I don't think it'll be too hard since I've had a $200 gas tank riding around in my bed for over a week know...

Just returned from a 500km round trip hauling an 1800# 10.5 slide in camper and towing an 18ft flat deck trailer with a 3500# Jeep on it on nothing fell apart.

I don't think you really have a choice on the matter if you want to put the RC tank in. If it really bothers you, check into using a tank from an aux tank from a Ford truck. They are about half the size of the RC tank and have quite a skinny profile.

Well, actually I just figured out a way to inject powdered Jello into the turbo charger, reroute my exhaust and install a dump-bed in order to generate a tachyon force field that will reflect between two aftermarket shock absorbers in order to replace the crossmember that I have to take out...

Ahh, I can't think of a way around this one. I'm ashamed of myself, actually.

Oh well, I'm installing the darn thing. Thank's for the help.


And anyways, I guess if it breaks I'll just fill the tank up with essence of civet cats and come over to your place for disposal.

I tried that. You would be better off using the power coupling from the starboard phase converter tying it into the port Jefferys tube. That way you won,t compromise your defector dish.

Ah, but the starboard phase convertor will need to be rerouted through the anti-matter stators in order to reach the Jeffereys tubes, which may very well result in an aeon-torsion flux throughout the entire latter meta-space frame! The portside phase convertor, or perhaps even the aft quasi-generator beacon, would doubtlessly be a much better course of modification to pursue. Of course, the ducting of energized gravitrons through the periphery tesla fields themselves seems dangerous.

We must consult Scotty.



Scotty, we need an etherized-particle generator to be routed to the perpindicular Weber array on the pronto!
