[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 406706, member: 6317"] Installed electric fuel pump and filters. Made block off plates for mechanical fuel pump and EGR valve. Wired suck down winch and fuel pump. Built floor subframe and installed the base to mount the 8gal Action Packer tote behind driver seat. I haven't decided what to use for the floor...normal expanded metal or some other type of material. I saw something in a buddy's rig that I liked that was solid rod on a 1.5" x 1.5" square pattern that I liked. It would be really easy to clean, provide plenty of attachment points for bungees and such and was really rigid. I'll be carrying a cooler and small toolbox and/or parts on top of this area. The first thing I did this past Saturday was fab up an attachment point on the axle for the suck down winch. I ended up using a flat bottom shock tab off of the top of the TG truss directly below the winch. This looked good and was really simple, but after reinstalling the winch I realized it was too tall and wouldn't provide enough room between it and the winch. So first thing I did Sunday was cut that off and make up a new mount that is attached between the upper links right above the 3rd member...maybe 3-4" lower than the previous version and it works great.
