That looks terrific. I will get a hold of Fat Fabrications tomorrow. I understand the shop is still working.Mr Zero wrote: Sun Apr 05, 2026 3:03 pmHere are a few photos of K fuel and water can placement as food for thought. I’ve been running a second underbody NATO can on the driver’s side for 7–8 years now without issue.Alaskantinbender wrote: Sun Apr 05, 2026 8:26 amAfter looking at pictures on the forum, I like the idea of a second gas can mount on the left side under the 710K door. The only issue I see is the exhaust pipe in that location. It looks like there is just enough room to squeeze it in. I will see as the project develops. If I want more spare fuel, adding two more cans on the back would net 20 gal. The question is, how much is enough?
A few caveats, though:
- Rock crawling is not the primary mission of my Pinz.
- The exhaust is routed down and away from the can to make room for it.
- The can is housed in an exoskeleton/guard that also doubles as a step into the K doors.
The project 710K Begins.

To clarify, Andre Swanson fab'd the winch mount and K door steps and Billy Beddow @ 3saurus co-designed/fab'd the tire+fuel carrier.Alaskantinbender wrote: Sun Apr 05, 2026 7:49 pm That looks terrific. I will get a hold of Fat Fabrications tomorrow. I understand the shop is still working.

Re: The project 710K Begins.
Thank you for the clarification. I have a can holder coming from SAV. We will see what I can cook up with my wire feed welder.Mr Zero wrote: Sun Apr 05, 2026 9:09 pmTo clarify, Andre Swanson fab'd the winch mount and K door steps and Billy Beddow @ 3saurus co-designed/fab'd the tire+fuel carrier.Alaskantinbender wrote: Sun Apr 05, 2026 7:49 pm That looks terrific.

Mounted a drink/cup holder on the dog house. And got the front and rear seatbelts sorted out (I think) and installed. But what are these short straps with the large gate clips?
