What's also awesome is the price.. There's a guy on eBay selling them for $50/each.. Apparently he has more than 400 of them to get rid of

 

[my blood flows OD]

At that price I wanna buy one and shoot it to see how it works at self healing.

 

[JohnnyBM931A2]

Ha. That would be interesting. You would have to drive down to Texas to pick one up though, because apparently it's local pick up only

 

[ROCKWELL-C60]

Wow and I thought the 250 I paid 4 the pair was a deal. They don't have sending units but stock one fits fine.

 

[JohnnyBM931A2]

Ha.. That's usually how it works. You buy something, then instantly find it cheaper or on sale somewhere else

Coating that reacts when exposed to petroleum by expanding. You spray the outside (where petroleum isn't supposed to be) - when someone shoots the tank, the bullet spreads the coating which them collapses back into a smaller hole then the fuel leaks onto the reactive surface inside the hole and expands, plugging the leak.

This company up in Oregon does self-sealing and self extinguishing tanks for the military.

Ok, so to make tanks fit this is how I modified mounts . I couldn't find another set of tank brackets so I used stock box brackets. There the same except for the ends.

 

[my blood flows OD]

That makes it easy. Nice job.

So for rear cab mount I used another stock rear cab mount. My concern is the additional 2000# in armor so what do u guys think of putting small air bags under middle of rear cab and regulator set to whatever psi to take some of weight while driving.

 

[JohnnyBM931A2]

I would assume that air bags would allow more frame flex (which you want) rather than more solid mounts. However, that's just a guess since I haven't really paid attention to how the stock cab mounts are on my truck

 

[my blood flows OD]

The rear cab mount is in the center. So an air bag should do just what he wants it to without hindering frame flex at all.

Plywood I can order, but I don't have a clue about ordering steel plate:

- You give them thickness and what else?

Like how many variables are there (dismissing stainless steel altogether), in ordering plate steel?
