Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The LWB has a dirty big reinforcement pipe/crossmember joining the chassis rails just behind the transfer case.

If i leave this pipe intact I can fit maybe a 700-800mm long lpg tank and still have 100-200mm clearance to the diff.

If i remove this reinforcement I can probably fit a 1000mm+ tank in there.

So I was thinking of making up a new reinforcing crossmember which would go under the lpg tank similar to the bashplate/guard for hte transfer case/gearbox but stronger of course.

Does anyone have any ideas/comments?

The other thing is how much clearance from the diff to the lpg tank would be safe? I'd assume when the suspension is compressed the diff actually moves backwards, not forwards, so for me 100-150mm would be appropriate.

I was looking at doing this becuase i have a shorty and by law u can't mount them there i was told has to be in between chassis rails or somtehing like that incase of a crash becuase a car could just squash the tank big time there but if mounted at the back like the normal postion would have alot more protection.

I may be wrong just what i was told..
