They're probably the only way to go when you want to take on 10-20 gallons at a remote pit though. Can you imagine trying to put 3-4 5 gallon gans in quickly? I'd rather heave-ho an 11 twice. Best with a drylock fitting so you can't overflow, but that's a lil too bling for us, I think.

We have the ranger for remote pit gas transport. May be able to rig up a tower in the back for fuel dump? Probably not enough time to fab.

your chassis gussets are full welded and your window nets are re drilled because it takes a legit 15 min per cut on the band saw to hawg through 2 3/8" 7075  X4 tonight

Multi tasking at it best.

I will have some time Friday Saturday and Sunday to lend a hand if necessary.  My only real project is to SQUEEZE the ranger in the back of the RV.


It feels strange not having to work on the buggy before a trip.

Whoa you were up late! Thanks though! A 10 mm union and some fuel hose I'll be able to pass tech!

another failing trailer door?

Sucks it's still stumbling.

Fitting broke on the remote? I have a spare from my bad shock that I'm not swapping onto my right front any time soon if the remotes and fittings are the same. or if it's a hose issue that's probably a straight up spare.
