I hope you're gonna run a skid under the new one. How much did you end up paying for it? I'd like to swap one of those plastic 20 gallon tanks and put a skid over it, then put an access panel in the floor so if I have to take the pump out I just flip the panel open.

it was a tank off a cherokee that got in a front end wreck. got it from a fellow member on the boards without the pump.

as for the boxes. check out jcroffroad.com , expensive but worth it in the long run.

thanks man! oh and FWIW i have decided to hold off on the 7" lift, get a winch but still doing the OTK steering, long arms, brake lines and SYE..then search for a 44 rear end and HP30 that are geared, then do IROs almost alloy along with an aussie in the front. need to find a gas getter for college though but im not selling this. it will just sit.
