Even if its not a direct fit, it wouldn't be hard to make mounts to hang the tank

yeah im assuming it wouldnt be much more then replicating the factory holes maybe a little wider. but i am thinking of going plastic. even steal tanks are expensive so why not spend the extra 50 bucks? rumor has it they will take more of an impact then the steal tanks will

Well mostly because they have more flex, where as steel tanks will crase or most likely crack or puncture

You can run a 30 gallon Bronco tank for the rear tank, but will need to relocate the spare tire.

i thaught about it, but im looking to sas/4x4 conversion and planning on keeping asmuch ground clearance as possible. if i was planning on keeping 2wd as a hualing rig i would most likely do that but even as 2wd i take it offroad to much as it is haha.
