it might just barely....but not for sure...my 90 didnt leave much room in there and the 125 being a 6ft tank..dont think its gona fit....not to mention not sure if we are riding with lennie and tracy or if well have people with us yet...
trying to find away to save jake some time and money on gas....hate for him to make it to rhinelander...and have to go home empty handed and then have to make the 3hr drive back up here to get the tank....
ANYONE?

Maybe you could strap it to a trailer (using lots of padding, of course) and tow it behind the Explorer?

Awesome, thanks Jake. If you can find another person or two, that would be INCREDIBLY appreciated. And if you do, and it's not too much to ask, please send me first/last names. They'd like to know ahead of time who all is going so that they can be prepared for the # of people we're bringing.
Thanks Jake,
Joe
