I cut the remainder of that area out to get rid of the crap that had been put back there. Piss-poor welding that I wouldn’t have trusted on a lawn chair let alone holding up the weight of~15 gallons of fuel. I will be building a support for an ATL type bladder cell in the future. It also made it easier for me to access the areas to tie in the rear subframe to the cage(can see in that pic you quoted) JVG needs to stop buying guns and weapons for ten minutes so he can get the cage painted before it rusts all to shit. :ninja ---

what Clark said, 1.75" x .095 wall DOM is fine. I built that massive crash bar/subframe on my subaru out of that exact material. Could pick the car up from it no problem. 1.5" of similar or .083 wall would also suffice if you’re looking to lighten it up a bit.
