Anyone know where I can get a KZ-TE (double Cab) fuel tank protector, either an original or an after market. (Its the metal housing that protects the fuel tank that Im looking for).
Mine has some fatigue cracks in it, and I want to replace it. I actually cant believe the original one is made so poorly.

What if you weld it? Probably the cheapest option.
With each replacement of parts, a car slowly becomes Chinese.

Drill a hole at the end of the crack and weld it. I have fixed mine like that

Thanks for the advice - whats the reason for drilling a hole before you weld it ?
