Thinking about fabricating.....Anyone interested!

Ok,

So this monkey has a 4x6 sheet of 1/4 inch steel.

He thinks to himself......HOw will I hang this nice aux tank I got from WH????

I am going to fab up a hanger (akin to the original one) that mounts in the original 4 bolt holes.

IF I were to do this & offer them up to buddies here at cost, would anyone be interested, or should I use the rest of this steel in making myself some kick ass bumpers?

at the price of steel these days not even counting the cost to ship bumpers I would make those first. Hanging the gas tank can be done with angle Iron and skinned with aluminium diamond plate for a cool look. use that 1/4 steel on the bumpers of wich hopefully some day may not be needed to protect you. Whats the likelyhood of needing bumper protection over rear skid plate protection.

I would be......depending on costs

I am not planning on making skid plates, but a special bracket to mount the Aux tank with. When you get the tanks from the MFR, they tell you to drill through your floor boards! AFter all that work to weld mine back in, I am not drilling more holes in there than needs be!

The floorboard brace is equipped with 4 caged nuts which used to hold the aux tank straps in. I want to make a bracket that mounts to those nuts & doesn't require drilling into the floors.

I"ll make a picture.
