    todays video i'm dropping the fuel tank in my 2003 jeep tj, this wasn't a job that I wanted to do but I needed to make a repair and fuel tank needed to be removed for this. the hardest part about this job is dealing with the fuel clips it's always best to see if you can get them first before removing the tank. that last thing you want is to drop the tank and be in a situation. once the tank is dropped you can remove the fuel pump if needed

      @@TestDontguess went well after the whole collar ring fiasco. It started as a rokman gas tank skid swap but I snagged the fuel outlet on the gas strap and broke the medal outlet that goes from the pump to the hose off... that then turned into a 200 dollar fuel pump change as well lol. But it turned out good in the end.

    I'm like you Jerry , I just broke the clips . There to hard to try and save and for a couple bucks easier to just replace. Good job my friend . Say hi to Tomcat for me .

    Hello I got a 2001 Tj sport that sat 3 yrs. Less than half a tank of old fuel. If fuel pump doesn’t work n I have to drop tank to empty the fuel do u think I should replace the tank if I have to replace the fuel pump? Or just drop tank, empty it n replace fuel pump?
    I got it for free. 165,000 miles. Needs some chassis work but nothing extreme. Plan on doin a complete tune up plus all hard brake lines r shot so no brakes right now. Thx

    awesome referencing new clips! I swapped out my tank skid for the Savvy aluminum skid. It gave me about an inch more of clearance from the ground and more space for my trackbar as with my lift and pinion angle it slightly rubbed the factory skid..

      @@TestDontguess My JKS control arms are a little longer than stock, pushing the rear diff back another 1/2 inch. Then, with my flat underbelly skidplate, the xfer case is much higher, requiring a SYE and elevated pinion angle. That change in pinion angle rotates the diff with the pivot point being where the lower control arms connected making the trackbar rub. All is solved now though! Glad I dont have your salt=rust issues down here in North Carolina!

    Damn I'm glad I live in the south. We don't have to lift things down we usually just lower them and we don't have to pull things ote.

    It's just better to break things and replace them with stronger things.

    Really annoyed right now 😠...I dropped my tank...broke 3 of those stupid fuel line retainer clips...ordered 4 from rock auto based on the number you show in the video (living in Australia, I don't have the option of just running to a parts store for jeep parts), and the damn things are not the right ones...maybe they changed them from year to year? Dunno, but there's $50 and 2 weeks waiting on the delivery down the tubes...
    Not your fault, just venting 😠

    Fastenal sells great stainless steel bolts and nuts. Might be worth it, they're expensive, but hopefully won't rust. Sometimes if odd size they won't have in stock, usually longest wait is about 5 days.

      S/s hardware will corrode the dissimilar metal around it rather quickly, not a good idea.
