Trayback TJ
« on: September 18, 2011, 08:19:28 PM »
So, I'm thinking about traybacking my TJ, as I intend to relocate the fuel tank into the tub, but wanted to sink it down a bit. I feel that I am constrained by the inner shape of the tub and wonder if I get rid of it will that be the way to go. What are your thoughts? Oh, and no its not my daily drive lol :greggmo:

Have you looked at bladder tanks? I believe this is the way to go....

Something a couple of Birtys done awhile back, zero budget and got rid of the TJ's Saggy arse :003:

http://www.birtydastards.com/frm/index.php?topic=9904.0

Looked into dropping it down and the like of Hand brake, driveline, exhausts and Long arm/ 4link issues started to occur.

Pirate4x4 will have some great ideas too.
