Mufflers, spare tire, spare tire carrier and spare tire upper cover. Unhook vapor system hoses from fuel rail on the driver side (if still there), unhook fuel supply and return (if you have one) from fuel line on passenger side. If it's still in place the drain tube coming from the filler boot clamps to chassis, fuel sender electrical wire & mass. DRAIN FUEL
Unbolt the hold down clamps from the rear rail, unbolt the fuel tank support traverse 2 bolts on each side and have a helper support the tank.
Think that's about it
