How to complete the fuel tank tuck in full detail for 99-04 JGC WJ. In this video, we'll show you how to reinforce the metal plate that replaces the factory wheel well by using a bead roller, how to properly weld it into place, how to sleeve the frame so that the fill hose can be passed thru, and how to make mods to the fill neck and which one works better than others. Finish it off with reinstalling the EVAP system, reinstall the bumper cover and paint.

Martinbuilt: The rolling process is called “stress bending” as to apply stress so the flat cover doesn’t flex. I mean no disrespect to you just wanted to say what the application of Stress Bending is called. Always watching your videos your the best on youtube for explaining each step you are doing and all tools including bolt sizes as you do the job. Again Martin I meant no disrespect in telling you the process you did by rolling stress bends in the plates to stop any flex which can make noise. As always a great finished job thank you Martinbuilt.

I had never had a jeep before, but I have an Isuzu Trooper 1988 4cyl straight stick. Due to health conditions, I could no longer drive it. I had to have an automatic. My son's friend had a car for sale and my only question was "is it automatic?", he said yes, I said sold, sight unseen!!! I got it for a song and did a lot of work to it replacing nearly everything, even installed a new headliner. It runs like a dream!! It looks great and I can go in it by myself!!! I never knew a jeep could be so much fun. Having problems now with the PCU/cables plugging into it. So, I have to stand on a tire laying on its side to be able to reach what I need to. Anyway, that was a great video, I just loved it!!! Factory looking job!!!

Any chance you have a video showing how to relocate the EVAP canister ?

If anyone knows, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance

The small hose that is attached to that round grey thing goes to the fill neck vent and the middle hose on the canister goes is the large hose that heads to the front of the Jeep.

I'm on my 8th and FINAL WJ and I don't think I'd ever do this as I don't see the point. All of your other mods are very applicable. Spare tire pan provides structural integrity for the frame though doesn't it...?

@martinbuilt 2 жыл бұрын

The spare tire holder does add some structural integrity one of the reasons I didn't eliminate it all together and why I added rolled beads to the steel plate and welded it in 100% I feel the vehicle is much safer now that the gas tank is tucked up under the vehicle more and doesn't expose it as much as it did before to a rear impact. It sure looks better than that saggy diaper. Thank you for watching.

sorry to hear, what do you mean by permanently blocked? you could replace them for around $200 per axle at Pick-a-Part Your front axle is a Dana 30 and rear is Dana 44

@dshepard3161 3 жыл бұрын

If you have the overland with the 30/44 combo you likely have LSD's (come's with the Quadra-Trac 2), i wouldn't give them up as they are about the best factory axle set up on a WJ that you can get, mine is an 04 WJ Overland and that as I understand it was standard for that model however mine is Canadian, don't think it matter's. Not quite sure what the problem is but it sounds like either axle seals or cv boot's either way cheep parts that may be messy to replace but not hard for a tool user. BTW Nice job Martin

@@dshepard3161 Thanks for your comments friend, that's how it has LDS, I usually import the spare parts from Ebay to Chile, the problem is that the bleokeo of the axis is permanent, it is not released, it is practical in off-road but not in the city, some suggest me to change axles and put Air lock or electronic lock, and others suggest me to repair the LDS system, if the LDS is cheaper but difficult to find the repair kit, I don't know which one to choose

@dshepard3161 3 жыл бұрын

@@joseluisguajardo3732 Ah I see, my bad for assuming that you were in North America, "bleokeo" is not a word i understand, however from what you are saying it sounds like the diff is not disconnecting under normal driving conditions, if this is the case yes air lockers are an option however you may find it much cheaper to get a new set of viscose coupler's (clutches) for the factory unit's, they do require a diff oil that has an additive for friction however. I have to say that mine has only just rolled 220,000 km but I use her rough towing a trailer into the bush country/mountains of west Canada hunting. Never had a problem. As i do not have any idea how hard it is to import anything to Chile or what prices may be like i can only help as far as tech knowledge goes and your friends may be right about changing the factory LSD's out, but the D44 is un-stoppable up to 35" rubber in that weight class so don't dump it unless you have a direct drop in replacement, setting up new link's requires some experience.
