Been awhile since I updated my status, painting the house and hunting season been taking a ton of time, but now things are winding down, and I intend to accomplish some progress in the near future.

Thanks! I will hopefully get the gas tank from Bob in the near future and get it installed and will update pictures as well. Right now my CJ2A projects keep taking up my free time!

Sweet build. I really like it. I have a 1971 F100 that I was going to restore. I recently located my Dads old 1973 Jeep pickup J4000, so I'm going to build that next. Thanks for the inspiration as I want to build that Jeep in honor of my Dad. So many cool memories in that truck. Its the truck I learned to drive when I was 16

Finally a solid update....With a little help from 460Crew, I got a used 32 gallon Aerotank for my 1970 F250 4x4, and my father in law is bringing it over this weekend when he visits.....Hopefully I can get to installing it soon

If Photo bucket is still working correctly this should be the rough install of my Aerotank
