How sturdy is that gas tank, seems to hang a little low. Would be fine for most but I clang my bumper off of rocks all the time. I've been thinking of doing something like that in the person but am scared that I would completely bust it within a year.
Awesome truck by the way.
Sweet build write up and truck! I have to agree with your statement about when you can remove the 3rd row seats. An absolute necessity for a truck as nice as yours will be a fridge and storage drawer system in the back. A fridge is SO MUCH nicer than hauling an ice chest!!!
The gas tank appears to be pretty sturdy. It's not that low, but I have managed to bang it on rocks and dirt occasionally. A few scratches and gouges, but no structural damage, even after one pretty good scraping.
I don't really do serious rock crawling, just rough trails, riverbeds, old logging roads, etc.
I do have a fridge (ARB 50) It fits nicely in the back with the 3rd row seats tipped up. I keep it in place with a ratcheting strap and my tie-downs. For storage, I use a combination of 3 Bundu Boxes, and assorted soft sided bags (Bucket Boss). A drawer system with a fridge slide will definitely be an upgrade, but not having one hasn't kept me from staying organized or bringing along the stuff I need/want.
