any way to run more fuel or relocate functional items back there vs just added mass? you know, cuz racecar.
I actually started with way more weight, then deducted fuel weight, bed, etc. The actual plate i started with was 1-1/2×18×36 (300 lbs). Once I figured what I needed it was water-jetted to size. Fingers crossed it works!

looks a little low to me for steep entrances but if you drag it once in a while will it even show?
It should be 6-1/2" from the ground and hidden by the license plate if my ciphering is correct . . . . But I like your idea too!

Thanks for looking - more later-
