    Damn I damaged my fuel tank

    My truck which i call Jinxed has lived up to its name

    After driving up a very difficult track on the weekend i noticed that the contents of my long range sub tank was dumping its full load of fuel 80lts of it grrrr

    After looking at it we all come over the conclusion that the tail shaft has flexed sidways under stress and given the tank a wack

    So the tanks out already and is going the the welders to get fixed and some extra angle iron over the edge
    but how do i stop it from happening again ??

    One thought is to put in some adjustable panhards in and move the diff over a little as the lift has moved it over towards the tank anyway (Not much though)

    The other is that the uni has a large ring around it (see pics) that i have not seen on other patrols so i would need a different uni or tail shaft?







    Cheers
