Gas Tank Skid Questions

ZachAttack923 · 11-22-2009, 03:37 PM

I Have been searching all day on google and here and other offroad websites but i could not find what i am looking for

a while back i saw a write up on how to take your stock gas tank skid and with another stock skid double it up so it is stronger(poor mans gas tank skid)

or one where they took and used 3/16 plate and welded it on to the stock skid

i have been looking for these write ups so i have an idea of what to get and where to start when i get back home from college

I doubled my tank skid. I swapped out the dented 97 for late model tanks. I clamped them together and welded in spots.

x2. Might as well do it right the first time and save yourself a lot of hassle.

The late model skids are actually good enough to take some serious abuse. And you can pick them up for next to nothing. I'd grab one and do a homebrew gas tank tuck. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have wasted money on a Rokmen tank skid....not that it isn't a good product, but it's just not the way I would go now. I would have used my stock skid and shortened it to tuck everything up (exactly what the Rokmen skid does) or would have spent the money on an RCI fuel cell. Then you have no more tank to worry about.
