the styrofoam that is there to absorb impact ? yes ... but at the cost of your safety ... HDDP found a nice titanium plate above his gas tank. and you guys are proposing bringing the explosives closer into the cabin and removing the impact absorbing material around it ?

best of luck ?

BTW: i have a 1987 jeep i do crazy stuff to ... i try to leave this xf alone cause it was not engineered by a bunch of off-roaders on acid.
