Hi AJ. I don't think I will weld it closed. The cap is really tight so I don't think there is risk of it coming loose. Interested in your thoughts.

I was thinking more for an aesthetics aspect having something useless like it was just thrown together and not though about. Well, yours is hidden so that really wouldn't be the case for you. I think mine will be visible.

Agreed...just saw your latest pics and see what you're getting at, your's will be visible, I actually think it's going to look bitchen seeing the tank. I bet you can get either Peterson or Aviaid to build the tank without the filler neck. Not sure if you have the tank yet.

Deck lid support. Fab'd up this little bracket and used a support from Lift Supports Depot. Couldn't make one of the prefab'd ones from our normal go-to companies work because of the fiberglass lid... I did try.

Used nutserts to attach the bracket to the lid. I ended up with a 58 lb. support, though I don't have the spoiler on yet, it should still be stout enough.

You guys will appreciate this story; good friend of mine started his company Factor 55 at his house, lives few doors from me, with one product - self designed and machined. Mostly off-road recovery products. factor55.com. Heavily focused on engineered and tested products that are 100% American made...here in Boise. They now have a ton of products and are the shizzle in the off road world, something like 15 SEMA awards (South Building in the center, this year)

I convinced him to build me some custom tow hooks and this is the beginning of that process. The front will get lightened up quite a bit but waiting until I do the front spoiler. His system uses a soft shackle for connect to the tow vehicle. Not sure how I'm going to attach the rear, will work on it this weekend.
