Bobbedmanche92 Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Fuel door was filled in and welded the fuel door section in out of the donor XJ. Used some of the inner structure from the XJ as well. Oh yeah, custom gas tank skid for the 97-01 XJ tank relocated to the rear.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that only the 84-86 AMC years lack the info as to where they were sold which is unfortunate but we will take what we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbedmanche92 Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 eaglescout526 that's fair, seems like typical AMC things . Thank you for the info though! Jesse J I just welded drilled and welded studs to mount my custom skid. 97-01 tank housed in my skid and straps I made bolt to the skid to hold the tank inside of it. I can post more pics or send you some if you need then. No cutting of the frame was necessary. All of the fuel lines were good on my donor XJ so i swapped them over, spliced in a section and it all worked well and was fairly simple. I've had alot of XJs and on Manche #5 now but never had to mess with Renix fuel stuff. Fuel pump is bad/not working in my newest purchase. Gonna see if I can figure it out with Crusier54's tips...
