    The Aux tank is easy. I have to relocate the spare and then just order the kit from Aerotank thru Jon probably. Easy installation, there is a write up on it here somewhere. Maybe Jon should do three and then he can get his installed also.

    Ohh, I had read your thread where you had pictures of how your old one custom built. This sounds like a good solution, though they look like replacement tanks, so not sure if we can find one that fits that space below.

    Same for me regarding price, and in my case shipping to the east coast. We would have to determine if the space available on the XK is the same as the WK (as is mine). I just happened to do some quick down and dirty measurements last night because I saw some aluminum marine tanks for sale on CL. That area where the tire is now tapers, but it is about 36" close to the hitch, about 30" deep, and about 12" tall. I realize that is not all usable space, but we could even get a tank bigger than 30 gal in that space if my calculations are accurate.

    Huey, It was Great seeing your new Commander !! Looks like you found a great vehicle to start your new build up with.

    I noticed on your original one that you had chrome side steps. The last time I was home I finally removed mine. If you are interested to put them back on your new one, let me know.. they are ( I think Lol) in perfect condition. No one should have to endure what you have had to experience.. I couldn't help from afar, but at least I can offer them to you dirt cheap, if you are interested.

    So.. Congrats again .. I look forward to seeing her evolve !

    P.S. Just an after thought, I also have the original (unused) shocks that came with my 4" SL kit. I have no idea if/or how anyone could use them, but if you could, just let me know.

    Thanks for the offer, However I am fairly sure that I will put the Super Sliders on for lower side protection. The chrome nerf bars from before were mostly to help her with getting in and out of the Commander.
