Abel LMTV build part 189 (MRAP self healing 78 gallon fuel tank upgrade)

[@moybone6641]

Great video!!! Thanks for the shout out! Can’t wait to get mine installed.

[@SeanFillner]

I recall you said something about 49" straps that you found. Did you have a link or a part number?? I might try a set out to see if they fit.

[@moybone6641]

@@SeanFillner 1200mmx30mm = 47.2” x1.1” these are the longest I can find and only 1.1” wide. I’m going to look for a better option.

[@SeanFillner]

There has to be a part number. With that I can scour the web and ebay...

[@thomascraig548]

Well done Sir! Thoroughly enjoy watching your custom fabrication.

[@SeanFillner]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@southernhomestead5749]

Thanks for the video and info Sean

[@SeanFillner]

Hopefully it helped!

[@urgentcareguy3]

I have the same tank on mine. I like it. My HarborFreight hydraulic lift table really came in handy for this.

[@SeanFillner]

Did you have the correct brackets? I had to manufacture mine...

[@urgentcareguy3]

Been watching you for a while now and my wife hit the one-year mark last month for official retirement so I'm loving your Abel content. I was leaning hard toward this sort of setup, but I want a pass through pretty badly, but we'll see. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there. Have no idea how you're not getting constant request for custom work or maybe you are lol. Seen a lot of people talk about what they can do but you get stuff done.

[@SeanFillner]

I have a hard time sitting still when I get an idea and want to execute it... The only work I do on vehicles is the ones that I own. If I did the work for other people it would go unappreciated unless of course you are buying a vehicle I built (like Rusty the snowcat). Plenty of LMTV owners have a pass through for their habitat. Check out the Broke Overland channel...

[@OOOOutdoorOffGridOverland]

Ground clearance is upgraded too. Hopefully the brackets are thick/strong enough to hold extra the weight and leverage and will not fatigue in time. On the highway probably none of this would matter.

[@Porsche_Past]

Nice upgrade

[@SeanFillner]

I really like it!

[@rickysmith8810]

Been following abel since day 1 gotta say ide like to take the cab off one of thwse and put my 44 coe dodge on it

[@SeanFillner]

That would be interesting but I don't think I would want to sacrifice the space with a smaller cab. Hey BTW thanks for tuning into my ugly mug for so long. I appreciate it!!

[@fsfazekas]

Dang what a great upgrade…would love to do this but have so many basic maintenance tasks to complete before I could get to this.

[@SeanFillner]

Get a fuel tank while Moises still has them.

[@fsfazekas]

@@SeanFillnerI just messaged him though I think getting one shipped to central NY might be a bit pricey…but I’m checking it out…

[@fsfazekas]

@@SeanFillner tried messaging him but no response 🤷‍♂️

[@SeanFillner]

I let him know.

[@fsfazekas]

@@SeanFillner thank you we are in touch and working through details. Sounds like a great guy!

[@roceye]

Note- when working on fuel tanks they will always be full.

[@SeanFillner]

I think I dumped 35 gallons out...maybe more. I was not counting...
