looks pretty cool. i have always liked the way diamond plate looks.
well, you cant get a tank from a vehicle that isn't that high, but with your fab skills, i suppose you could make your own, and use an e350 fuel pump, or some other truck with a 5.4 triton fuel pump, which is external, and found on the frame rail of most 250-350's with the 5.4
i love my ZJ tank, but i think you're a little more concerned about your space in the vehicle, i could also suggest a 70's f150, or 90's f150, with the dual tanks, the rear most tank sits between the frame rails, and has a pretty low profile, my buddy has one on his truck, and i never did measure it, but it really is pretty small, although fairly longer than the xj tank from front to rear, might fill up the entire cargo space, but a very short profile from top to bottom.
I'm building the box to keep it dot legal in NC, it can't just be vented to the outside, that and my spare tire is going on top of the box, and I'll be building boxes out from the cetner to the sides of the jeep to carry tools and spares and be able to lock them.
If you're trying to keep it somewhat street legal, you may not want the loss of range that would come with a smaller fuel tank. Although you probably want to keep some semblance of cargo area too.
My fuel tank is under the floor.
You're dead on, I don't want to lose the range, but need to relocate the tank because of kicking the axle back 5".
Cargo space is a concern, but I'm more concerned about raising my COG from lifting the fuel tank upward.
Is your tank in the stock location with a skid plate?
