No compromise did it with his huge build, just put it in the rear cargo area. He has a special tank though so be sure to get the exact details from him for safety precautions

it does depend on how extreme your build is, for regular wheeling the jk does have some prertty good skid plates.....

the only thing stopping you from moving it is a longer fuel line and wires for the pump.

Default relocated gas tank

Gen-Right has just released a 20 gallon aluminum "Crawler" tank that mounts in the back, where the factory muffler goes. It cost less that 900 bucks and it includes a skid plate and it uses the fatory location for the filler and everything. You can also use it for an auxillary tank if you just want to extend your mileage. I want want one bad, but I'm stuck in Iraq and I'm sure my wife don't want a gas tank sitting around the house for the next year. Here's a link genright.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=GST8002 I don't think they're a sponser here, so I deleated the www. from in front of the link. I think this sound exaclly what you are looking for.

some people don't see a need for a 4x4 jeep or a need to ever remove the top.

its all in what you want.

myself, I am perfectly fine with were it is, nice and out of the way.
