Re: Doing LS Swap - I have no idea what I'm doing!
Got the call this weekend! My harness arrived at the tuner and he was finishing up my tune. Going to pick it up sometime this week. Hopefully, I can start working on the fuel system install. Want to get the tank mounted and start running the fuel lines. To do that, I'm going to have to cut out a couple of cross-braces - one Z-style crossmember on the frame, and one of the bed braces. I grabbed a piece of 1-1/2" angle from work to use as a mount/support for the tank. I'll fit it onto the frame rails and drill it to bolt into the frame, then I can drill the mounting holes for the tank.
Question - you guys that have done the Wrangler tank, did you use any tank straps to help support the tank? Or, has it been ok to just use the tank flanges to support the tank?

Getting the rivets out can be a pain, but not really any harder than cutting the crossmember.

Personally I would put straps on a tank in a truck just for the fact that if you put the flange on top of the frame, you wouldn't be able to drop the tank if need be.
