    I guess I could take pictures of it with the bumper back on.

    Also I mounted a fire extinguisher just in case something happened, i wouldn't have to watch it burn to the ground.

    Valid point, I may have to rethink that spot. I had a hard time trying to find a better spot where I could screw into without going into fuel lines and is mostly out of the way but still accessible.
