    I think from the factory they had wood blocks under the tank?

    Rugged ridge/comic Ada. All that came with it, so nothing to go off. The strap fastens to what at the back?

    Focker, your second picture is still a flat fender, though the CJ5 is similar. Someone needs to get a measurement for Jeepstar from the rocker panel over to the hole location. Same with the rear mount measured off the side of the wheelhouse.
