Here's today's edition of Spy Pics.

First the hydraulic assist ram is mounted.

Here's the 36 gallon gas tank. Ok so it could have been a little smaller. The lesson today is measure the available space, when the space is made, not from best guess on what room will be there later. However I think this will be fine and if need be depending on departure angle, I may add some slider bars from the bumper to the front of the tank mounting.

Next will be mounting the master cylinder and running the brake and ARB lines.

You're really going from mild (stock-ish Amigo) to SUPER WILD !!! I like it!!

My prediction: After a few hardcore trips you'll either chop the tank a bit or trim it at an angle equal to your departure angle and heavily skid plate it.

Ready for Reno:question: looks like it might fit the pro-modified class:D [/B]I'd like to be, at least get my ass kicked by some heavy hitters. If I remember the rules though I need a cage. However I'll be in Moab May 11th - 22nd. CalRocks is the 18th-19th right?
My prediction: Yep, I've elected not to put any sealer/liner in it yet just for that reason. I do like the angle idea.
The only thing I don't like is that fugly diff coverYep it's theft deterrent. It's so ugly no one would steal it. :D

Thanks!

I can't wait to drive the sucker.

Looking killer Michael!!!

Any reason why you don't cut the bed and lift the tank up between the frame rails instead of reshaping it down the road?
