2nd. how and what have you fabbed for a roof console? don't need one

3rd. what coulor should i paint my ute? Bright pink

4th. what do i use for extended bumpstops? (im running 30's) RHS Tube

5th. what can i use for a cheap alternative for a long range tank for under my tray?
Your kidding I hope. You want to fiit a cheap 1/2 arsed alternative tank? Mate loneranger might be able to help you with a SAFE long range tank.

I had mine up against the back door.
Eye hooks and a strap.

This was after several huge woops, hence the little tilt, but, cheap and reliable.

TANK: Get a 95 Jackaroo tank if you need EFI. Or get a tank from the carby Jackaroo ( same tank, just no EFI pump). Mounts up very nicely between the rails, and 85L capacity is great! Got my carby one for $100, EFI one for $200 inc pump.

EDIT: Tank won't fit with the spare dropping through your tray like that.

ROOF CONSOLE: Its not finished, but the frame work is there. This is in my ute. I needed the space for my left knee. :roll:

i was looking on low range and found this for my front clip but my question would be, would this be the same as one out of a 1lt because i have a 1lt clip with a bit of cancer and a 1.3 but prefer the look of 1lt, so instead of buy this could just swap between clips and weld in?

I've heard that they alter the metalwork to make it fit a Samurai. It seems likely, I have just fitted a Sierra (Samurai) front clip on my SJ413K and the original front grill doesn't fit.
As I have, most likely, the only Sierra front clip in the UK I'm hoping that its an SJ413/Samurai difference and not an Aus market variation.
I'll be watching the roof console project, I need the space for my left knee too.
