Cut rockers w/ both gas tanks??

[moabers]

I am wondering if anyone has cut their rocker panels off, put in rocker skid tubes, etc., and kept their Auxiliary fuel tank in place? I would love to see some pictures of that if possible, and how exposed to damage has that been on the trail? Does it look OK? <br>I am wanting to cut my rockers off, put in ~2"x6" rectangular tubing, and raise my fender flares, but I want to keep my side fuel tank for fuel range.<br><br>TIA!<br>

I cut out 3-4 inchs out (was a LOOOONG time ago) then welded in some 2x4 to just cover the AUX tank<br><br>

Thanks Mark, that really helps. That gives me a really good idea of what I am looking at as far as potential aux tank exposure.<br><br>Thanks again!
