I remember seeing a site somewhere that this guy cut some bar above his gas
tank and raised the tank a few inches for clearance... maybe enough room
above it for the nest?

Just as likely mom <will> return, if the Jeep is back in the same
area. I've picked baby birds up off the ground and replaced them in
the nest and not had any problem, the story about fussy parent birds
is mostly myth. Consider, if someone found your kid wandering around
the mall and returned them, would you just walk off and leave them
there?
