Well today I went out and tested the my rig for any issues that I might find. Found two! one caused the other.
attempted to climb a local notorious creek wall. I could have done well but at the angle my truck was ( Nose up leaning hard to the right) my fuel cell would @ 1/2 tank run dry and starve the motor. I couldn't get back level enough for it to pick up, So I tried to winch my self out. So I ran the cable to rear by tree, got in winch till I got my suspension compressed to and turnd the key while in gear so it would crawl up the bank w/ help from the winch I was going good till I heard a loud pop and the truck stopped. I bumped the winch and nothing so I got out to see what happened and my front bumper is facing the ground 70*. RIPPED the front crossmember nearly off the truck 
So my Q is has any one had this problem and how did you fix it? Can you add the inner foam to any fuel cell and does it help?
