WJ Grand Cherokee fuel tank lift.

Hi Chris

Is the spare wheel/boot area in a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ structural?
The fuel tank hangs quite low and it would be nice to cut the spare wheel area out and plate it with flat steel so the fuel tank could raise about 250mm.
Would that require cert?

Cheers Andrew

Hi Andrew

Yes, it would require LVV cert as cutting out the spare wheel area would be considered to affect the structure.
