My house got in the way. That is my winter project though. Still kicking around propane tank ideas.

Lots of options on the tanks, just trying to figure out which option will work best for me.

Yep, don't know yet. That is part of what I am kicking around. I think in the bed is best, to protect it. I would be worried about what it might get banged around on underneat.

OK. Probably start on it when the first snow flies up here. Trails close down anyway.

I want to get the propane in, and put a LR in the front. Next two projects. Then start worrying about high steer.

Thanks. Looks pretty straightforward. Any tricky parts or things to watch for that come to mind?

No, it's pretty straight forward.

Well, when I start getting my hands dirty, I will let everyone know. I'll try to take pics of the process as well.

I am going to put in LPG (liquid petroleum gas) soon. Not sure if it’s the same thing, but it’s stored in a round cylinder. The guy I am getting it from has made up a tub to hold it in.
I will cut the floor out from under the rear seat the drop and weld the tub in then fit the LPG tank in there.
So it will fit under the rear seat and above the tail shaft.

How many gallons will it hold? What are the dimensions of the tank?

BTW, a round cylinder vs what, a square one? Aren't cylinders round by definition? ;) ;) ;)
