Hi folks! I am here watching my own video to recall what size carriage bolts i needed here. I have the tank out again, because of yet another fuel pump problem, and the only bolt I was not able to get to when I did this, is now a problem. The rest of them held up awesome though! Just thought I'd share that update! This time when I reinstall, I think ill see if adding some neversieze helps.
good job but those washers arent gonna hold long.i have same issue,hence is why i looked this video up and i commend you.Although i think once i get the other nut loose im gonna go with stainless or zinc coated bolt and nut and gonna grind one nut down till it is about 1/8 to 3/16 thick and use thin nut as a jam nut then put gas tank skid up in there and leave those nuts in place and use regular sized nuts and plenty of anti-seize.either will work but that area gets lots of trash on it.i just had my tank down 4 months ago with no problems, now one nut is spinning and nut is in horrible shape.Never-the-less good job on the video.gave me some ideas for sure.Keep up the good work.Thank you
Thanks! The toothed retainer washers really just need to hold in place until you get the tank on. Next time you drop the tank you've got other methods to get them out if they're rusted again. There are lots of possible solutions for holding them in place. Even tack welds. Thanks for watching!
Thank you lol. Real pain in the ass getting this Jeep back up when all it needed was a fuel pump. Now I need new bolts, washers, skid plate, possibly a clip for the fuel line when I finally get this SOB off 🤣 Thanks for the specs on the bolts. Screenshot yes and will be doing this too
Very thorough and good sourcing on the bolt size. Question for you; How do you insert these carriage bolts into the front three holes? The back four bolts are easily accessed but the front three are seemingly impossible to replace unless I cut holes in the tub.
It's been a while. But as I recall the top of the Cross member that they are in is open. I can't remember if it just had an access hole or if it was a u-channel. It was packed with mud and dirt though. Mine is an lj so this may be slightly different on a TJ. The gas tank is the same but the Cross members may be different (because the frame is slightly different in the rear of the lj).
@@SWBCrawler Thanks..maybe it's different on the LJ. There's no clear way to insert the front 3 carriage bolts on the TJ (in the front) as far as I can tell.
@@jmjones1060 I may be under the LJ tomorrow. Ill see if I can check. Im almost certain I replaced them, but its possible I didnt, and only replaces the rear ones.
JM Jones I’m curious my self. My 06 Jeep Wrangler X needs a new skid plate for the tank and some evap line repair. I don’t dare touch those three rusty bolts until I see how they can get replaced. I’ve seen a video where a guy used a hole saw from inside the Jeep but is that really the only way? If so what was jeep thinking in this design?
Once you got the tank down are those accessible to change out? I have one bolt left to get my tank out and the carriage bolt is spinning... So I want to replace them all if possible.
Thank You, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!! You saved me hours of searching the internet trying to find this hardware.
So glad my video helped! Thanks for watching!

@@SWBCrawler i may try those washers if i can get off without grinding or cuttin it off.really get aggravating
Thanks, my 98 needed a fuel pump, I broke the bolts on back two. They were rust solid. Now I can get new ones put on
Glad the video helped!
or new bolts and tack weld them in place if one has a welder.
There you go, you read my mind. ;) Thanks again!

@@Journeyman83 they were thinking that it wouldn't be their problem by the time they went bad. ;)

You'll have to forgive be if my memory is off, I made this video a while ago. But if memory serves, yes I was able to replace all of them.
@@SWBCrawler thanks for replying. Got just one to go and want to replace as I go. May have to cut it off.
thanks for posting
