They all look pretty good, but have you ever hauled a can with gas in it inside your rig? When my gas gauge took a crap, I kept a can in the back for if (when) I ran out of gas... when the inside heated up, it reaked of gas inside. Just be careful.

That AND it doesn't look like the diameter would be big enough for the foot plate. - But since it's going to be too short, you can just take the end caps off, run it all the way through and and figure out a way to anchor the top end of the jack to the front of the tube.

Sheet aluminum wheel well covers. No more mud filling the door jambs since I have no inner wheel wells (and dirt flying in your face with the doors off)
