Diesel_Cruiser 08-26-2002, 04:11 AM Was thinking of using wide nylon straps to re attach the stock gas tank in my 1980 Bj40, is this a safe way to do this or should I just cough up the €€€€ and buy new metal straps? Any other suggestions? DCruiser138 08-26-2002, 07:19 AM that should be fine. its not like its gonna just fall out right??? plus your seat braket holds it in... Diesel_Cruiser 08-26-2002, 10:03 AM Gas tank isn't located under the seat's like with the older model cruiser's, it's attached under the tub. helocat 08-26-2002, 01:33 PM I would only use the metal straps under the rig. I have a set kicking around from my 1979 FJ-40. If they will fit your BJ they are yours for free. Heck I got the stock fuel tank and skid plate too. FIXXXXAH 08-26-2002, 04:32 PM HELOCAT, I AM INTERESTED IN THE STOCK TANK IF HE DOESNT NEED IT, OR IF OVER SEAS SHIPPING ISNT WORTH IT? DOES ANYONE HAVE A PICTURE SHOWING HOW THESE UNDER THE TUB TANKS WORK? I AM NEEDING TO RELOCATE MY FUEL TANK ANYWAY, THANKS MATT BJ On Roids 08-26-2002, 05:05 PM hmmmmmmm just use the factory metal straps....or get similar ones from another vehicle, dont use cords, or actual seatbelts or anything, as its subject to a fair bit of abuse under there........ vans and other passenger type vehicles, have similar setups or buy an aftermarket tank, comes with new straps, and lines and everything..... here is sorta what it looks like its a 90L tank too DCruiser138 08-26-2002, 05:13 PM wow that gas tank looks so beefy it might even stop a little axle wrap!! oh wait...theres a gas tank in that pic somewhere??? i dont see it:rolleyes: BJ On Roids 08-26-2002, 05:27 PM look above the wrap bar you stoner :rolleyes: thats what we call a fuel tank...but they only hold fuel sadly they dont stop axle wrap :D :flipoff2: also in the pic is my wrap bar, which is pretty beefy :p FIXXXXAH 08-26-2002, 05:33 PM WILL THESE FIT A EARLIER TANK-UNDER-PASS-SEAT STYLE CRUISER?

Don't think they will fit the older style 40 Cruiser's. Link to some clearer pic's of how the tank is mounted: http://www.webphotos.com/list_photos_edit.asp?mi=1&smi=1&a=68746 Helocat, I'll keep trying and locating a pair of metal ones closer to home, but if I don't find any I'll email you. Thank's fo rthe offer! | |
