Nope, gas tank... I'd love for it to be a sweet "I gashed it open on these gnarly rocks while doing some extreme wheelin" stories, but there's a channel on the side of the tank that fills with salty slush in the Midwest, and it ate through the tank.
Pssshhhhh... I wish... We got to it from the top last time, remember? We didn't actually drop the tank. 4 of the 6 bolts holding the tank in broke off. Luckily, they go to nuts tack welded on top of a bracket instead of into the frame. I was able to climb up in there and knock 'em off with a cold chisel, and have got some new hardware holding it in now. I think I still have some rust and dirt in my ear after 2 showers.
Sounds like a good time. I'm glad I missed it. Last time I did anything that fun was when I took out the old faucet in my kitchen. I had to use a hammer, chisel, and Dremel rotary tool to get it out because the old metal bolts were rusted in place. I guess that's why they use plastic bolts these days.

Don't tell me you did another head gasket. I will be extremely put out.

Ahhhh damn. Well, at least all the bolts were broken loose. :)
