It is expensive, but less than an aux fuel tank. And for me, $400 for some peace of mind doesn’t sound too bad.

u stack enough of them together to be thicker than the spare tire. You could just carry 1 (6 gallons) and it would tuck up much higher than the spare tire.
I am moving the spare to a rear swing arm. Is there anything wrong with fabricating a steel carrier plate to hold the batteries in that void? I was thinking of 1/4 inch steel.
Agreed, 1/4" plate may be a little over kill. Considering the worst that can happen would be the battery being punctured, that would mean acid spilling (DON'T TELL EPA!!!) and would basically kill your battery, but you'd still have your starter battery.IMO, no reason why it wouldn't work, but 1/4 sounds overkill considering not even the frame of the GX is anywhere close to being that thick. Even most skids are only 3/16 or less, so unless you're planning on hardcore rock crawling just seems like a lot of unnecessary weight
