Tube bolted between rear cross member and bodywork and auxiliary fuel tank

Hi,

I "recently" bought a auxiliary fuel tank from Front Runner for my 2001 110 TD5. I am now trying to fit it only to find that it does not fit. This is because of the tube bolted on the rear cross member that holds the bodywork above. It prevents the tank from going back enough to be bolted and align properly.

Questions are:

- Has anyone encountered that problem and solved it?

- Can the tube be removed?

- If the tube can't be removed, can it be replaced with something else?

Cheers,

Fred

the tube is to support/fix the rear seatbelt and seat assembly so if you plan on removing the rear seats then yes remove it.
