Posted this in the Teck section as well but thought it might get some more eyes out here.

This company is from down under. Cost is about 350 plus shipping. It is a 32 gallon tank with the loss of 40mm of ground clearence (not much). No effect on departure angle (actually the guy thinks it is a little better).
They have a aux tank for the WJ also.
They are made of 14 guage steel (pretty thick) and can easily be reiforced on the bottom before instalation since it is mild steel. The guy said he would gladly weld on a 1/8 plate to the bottom side. That puts you to well above 3/16 thickness if my math is correct.
This looks like a great alternative to those plastic tanks and expensive skid plates.
Here is a copy and paste of the instruction that come with the tank. Looks super simple. I am considering getting one since my 24 gallon stock job is JUST BARELY enough to get me through a trip (remember I go well over 100 miles from a road). Hope you all like. Oh and I can get dirt cheap shipping here in Alaska from Australia LOL!! Cheaper than from Florida!!
