Want opinions on this tank. Skid bent end on RR corner. Tank is bent in also and upwards. Looks like a seam in the middle of tank is "stretched".... You guys think this tank needs replacing or can I lower it and beat out the large dent in the skid and call it good ??? Thanks

Other than dropping the tank that looks like an easy fix. I'd pull out the tank. Once you get the skid back in shape a few warm days and the tank will settle back down where it belongs. If you hit once that bad you might look into another skid, even the newer TJs are a bit better although I don't know what fits what. If you cracked the tank you would get a check engine light.
