I was going to do that when I got my Snycro parts van - figuring the
weight of a full rear tank with the Syncro trans would give my 2WD at
least the off-road capacity of a bay-window van.

Put after stripping away the van and seeing that tank wedged way up there
above the tranny - I gave up on that thought.  Maybe two rear mounted
jerry cans is nearly as good.
