Wow you dropped the tank. I've changed quite a few of those over the years and didn't drop the tank.

I changed it twice and still leaked. So we dropped the tank.

Ah yea that o ring is a biatch. IIRC I put a dab of rtv to hold it in position. I could be remembering some other repair though.

They are not painting fenders and have 2 small dents to fix. We just go it to a good point to let them do the rest
 
Bad news is the jeep is going back in 1 month. As a bird crapped on hood in 2 spots and hood is now messed up.

They left it outside today as shop was full and it was on the hood all day
 
Why we wait to take the Comanche back to fix paint we are going to work on other parts

Today we started front bumper

Started on the rear bumper

We had to make some washer on the cnc machine so we could space out receiver hitch mount and bumper mount correctly.

Main bumper parts and receiver are tacked in place.
