06 Wangler - dropping the gas tank

[Polecat]

I am needing to drop the gas tank on my LJ in order to repair the evap lines that run across the top of it. Just wondering how much of a pain this is to do? I'm not afraid of tackling the project alone but fear that I might get in over my head. I've been looking around for someone to help out this weekend as I'm not about to pay the dealer $300+ to do it. Is it something that can be done alone or is a second set of hands helpful?

Second set of hands would be helpful, but I've had mine out and put back in a few times by myself just using a floor jack and a 2x4. Best thing you can do is to drive as much of the fuel out of it as you can first.

Just wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with this on Saturday or Sunday. Located in Holladay. Willing to provide the usual food and drink as well as gas money and some extra for the help.

Thanks for posting the vid. It will defintely come in handy.

Second set of hands can be useful, but I've done it by myself about 10 times. It's not a biggie.

I was able to get it done with much help from a buddy today. Now that I've done it it wouldn't be impossible to do it alone.
