My fuel tank developed a leak after filling it up one day in baja. I stopped filling it all the way and made it back just fine. In my case, it turns out there was a hole in the top of the tank caused by the tank rubbing on the frame because it wasn't properly replaced after being shortened for the 4wd conversion. Some gas tank repair epoxy and a bit of rubber under the strap fixed it right up. I've pulled the tank twice, once for the leak, then again to replace the fuel pump, and as long as the tank isn't full, it's not too hard to remove. I'll be in town in a week or so and can help if you don't have it fixed by then.
I definitely won't have it fixed by then! Appreciate the help/advice as always, but when you come through, it's just a beer drinking mission Any chance you'll be in SF on a Thursday evening? That's our regular dinner & beer night every week.

Re: Updated running boards today ***Update post #13***
Yep. Turned out even better than I expected. Took my time rounding off the corners and it looks almost factory like. Obviously super grippy and way better than the old rubber...and way better than the aluminum boards that had no traction on the outer edge. I used the leftover bits on the top of the rear chrome bumper. Safety third!
