That looks like a Baja monster, but that gas tank being exposed just looks a little unsafe

as long as its mounted securely then it's safer there than under it.

The tank sits pretty tight between the "frame rails", but any rear impact could be bad. I havnt gotten around to securing it with the steel straps, although i think most vehicles will slide under the bumper if i get hit :/

Well if jeep put it their than it has to be safe but I doubt they take into account of people wheeling them

I'm hoping a we are about a month out to get it on the road. But that's without the exo. We will put it back in the shop to build the exo at a later date but not far away. But it will be done and painted I think within a month.
