I was a heavy truck mechanic fo almost 40 years. I just want to share a couple things with you. One is the "do not weld frame rail or drill frame flanges" rule. Some times ther is no other opttion, and i get it. The other tip I wanted to share with you is that frames need triaglation braceing to prevent "diamonded" frame rails in the event of an impact. I know you needed to make room for the fuel tank. You may want to add diagonal braces in another locatio. I enjoy the videos. Willys Joe
I dont like spacers either but I do like a slightly wider stance on a jeep. I had a '94 Wrangler YJ many years ago, it didnt have spacers but I put upgraded wheels with a small offset and wider tires so they poked out just the right amount from the fenders.
Does the wire go to the gauge? Then ground the tank? If you have KH 15x8 wheels you will need the spacers to clear the brakes. Caps look good. Try steel wool to clean up the caps.
@@SevenBarSalvage ok. Let me know how you end up getting voltage to your sending unit. I am thinking the voltage comes from the gauge to the sending unit spade lug. Then grounded through the tank which is mounted to the frame?
I have that option or I have all the CJ5 components... I’ve not committed to an idea just yet but there will be a video coming out in the next few weeks on this! Thanks for watching!

Thank you I appreciate the advice! I’m actually looking into building a custom frame. These stock ones are pretty weak. Thank you for watching!
As always, Awesome!!!
Thank you!
I added wheel spacers to my 50 CJ3A, and it added so much stability. I like them. Yours look really good.
I appreciate it!

I believe it’s just the ground for the sending unit. Yep if it wasn’t for the wheels I wouldn’t run the spacers. Thank you!

So what's the plan for the fuel filler? Are you going to use the original and graft it into the back corner??

@Reyansh Holden thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it !
@Dario Ezequiel glad I could help =)
Center of tire should be Center of the hubs
I hate wheel spacers they should be outlawed
