Hey, guys. I found yet another something on my Jeep that needs fixed...
It turns out my gas tank shroud is toast. In fact, I think toast would be stronger than my gas tank shroud.
If I make a shroud, or skid plate, rather, would it have to completely encompass the tank like the old one, or could I just make one that covers the bottom and bends up on the sides a ways?
I'm thinking 3/16in. steel with the sides open. The sides would have a 90 to 120 degree 2 in. or so wide piece welded on to keep the tank from sliding sideways.
What do you gentlemen think?
It would be a lot of messing around, but I've been doing 5 months of messing around on this menacing Jeep... I miss my Jeep...
