Was having issues getting my flywheel off. It kept spinning. Came up with this to hold it.

That won't hold more than 6 gallons? It looks like it would. Good design man.

When I did the math, it was about 6.3 gallons.
Then I put the hitch tube in and the mounts, so I just rounded down.
There is more pics on my build thread.

Something entirely too thin. Lol. Probably .095 or .120 wall. They r some sort of sky jacker product. Definitely not jeep. My passenger arm is bent to hell and back. I got some 2" and 1 1/2" schedule 80 pipe to rebuild them. Also gonna make them a couple inches longer

Woah there, before you go using poo pipe you should only use Dom for suspension links. Could literally be life or death for someone.

No, this ain't poo poo pipe. This is the same **** we run high pressure steam in. Ive used it for my steering for the past 3 yrs. Bent 2 tie rods, nothing has broke or left me stranded.


Plus I get it for free from work. I promise u, it aint gonna brake. Especially when its 2", over 1/4 wall, sleeved with 1 1/2 about 1/4 wall
