I was wondering does anyone know what people do with the fuel tanks in SWB when they stretch them? Ones which havent been turned into tray backs? Also I was watching this years Outback challenge and was really impresswed by Dean Killmurrays shorty :armsup: Does anyone know how he has set up his suspension or who did it fot him?
Thanks again. :D

Ring Cheezy racing.. :D

I think he can answer all of your questions. Even about dean killmuray.. I may be thinking about a different guy, though, Is it a red shorty ? With A-frame rear, dual shocks, ute conversion and a stretch..

Fuel tanks usually get a custom midmounted relocation. Obviously if you keep it in wagon/chopped wagon form size and space are limited. Going full trayback would be much much easier. Have the option of mounting high. I am sure if you search around you will see a few pics of midmounted tanks, they would be fairly similar to the midmounted tank used in dual-fuel applications...

Do a search in the members forum on Bartso's MWB conversion. He wacked a ute body and streched the rear back, with a weld in aframe, by a few inches to accomodate dual transfercases. While not being in wagon form, doing it this way certainly makes it a little easier...
