It's going in long ways as pictured?
Um, not sure I understand. It has a float the goes up and down
Sorry, I mean the whole tank
Yes the tank is going it as pictured. I have removed the crossmember from the frame and other brackets that would hit the tank.
Well the cutting has begun. I have 4 of those trailer fenders to make new wheel tubs. All I did here was make a small (ha ha) cut and will now fit those new ones in there. Gotta clear the military 46 Goodyears.
The inner part got a little messy because I got impatient. Nothing a good smear of seam sealer won’t fix. Looks like I will have plenty of room for tires , shock towers and this monster 16” 2.5 Fox shocks
This thing is going to be pretty wild when done, I like that you are not following a typical build recipe.

Thanks, I’m an unconventional type.
Fenders are nice and big but there is 3” to the frame from the inside of the wall. I have some large 11” RuffStuff towers and need to make room for them. I’m going to be cutting holes into those new fenders and and a notch in the floor for the tower. Instead of fabricating flanged box covers or just some sheet rubber to cover them up I am going to use steam table trays. They come in different sizes, have rounded corners, and a nice convent flange to make mounting a snap. Just trim off one end to length you need.
Towers are not done yet but the fender wells are getting close. Didn’t see a need to make the tower boxes removable because of access on the outside. Those pans cost 12$ each and saved a bunch of time. I’m going to have to Frankenstein the last part at the bottom but that’s it. The shock I’m using for mock up is a 14” travel pro comp fully extended. At full extension it is as long as my 16” Fox 2.5 at 6” uptravel.
