I would like to take a stock tank, and section about 2" out of the middle (thickness of it) and weld it back together. That would tuck it inside the frame rail nicely. I've been thinking about this for a while now.

Who wants to donate a stock fuel tank for an Unlimited ?

Not sure I'd trust welded plastic with my gas.

I've had exactly th same thought thought, I'd happily accept a smaller tank to get it tucked up by the frame rail. A decent skid would be much easier to make then as well.

Damn I forgot the tank was plastic. :bawling: Heck it may be just as easy to measure the stock one, and have a custom fuel cell built for it.

I know that the whole COG is up in the air right now, here is my thoughts...

You can get a 2" body lift, then lift the tank. Everyone is saying that 2 inches would be great, well. There you go.

Then you can lower your suspention lift to get your COG back and still have enough room to flex and build a skid plate that is flat.

I havent looked, but, it should work. Im just not at my Jeep right now to see for myself.

That won't work, see pic below. The frame crossmembers would have to be raised somehow in order to move the tank up.
