yeh, its a half circle rubber pad that sits on the frame backbone. My stock tank sits on that pad, plus two small rubber circles that sit on posts on the side of the frame too (if I remember correctly). It looks like the same spot that the rubber pad on the frame backbone sits on, and if the plastic was thin there it could have busted through, or if it was thick there it could have been taking more weight than it was supposed to.

Either way he should check with IMS to see if they will replace it, but I doubt they will be able to flip it out for a new one in a week before he leaves for AK.

Trace, you need to just re-install the stock tank and buy yourself one of these:



have fun making across the dalton
