Hey all,
Just in case some of you don't look at the Grand Vitara/Tracker forum, we have organized a group buy for some REAL gas tank skids. These will be made by Aftermarket 4x4 in Virginia, and will stand up to the rigors of offroading (unlike the stock unit which is made of extremely thin metal). Take a look at that thread for more info, but rest assured that they will fit all 2001-2006 XL7s and 1999-2005 Grand Vitaras. Here is a copy of the email sent to me, with all the info you need to order. This only requires a $50 deposit, which is quite a good deal for this custom order:
Thanks for getting back to me with your interest in a group buy on the 1999-2005 Tracker/Virata/GV/XL-7 Gas Tank Skid Plates. I am happy to hear that you have taken the initiative to confirm that the tanks are the same for most all model years and that the new tank skids will fit all years and models through 2005 as I myself have not found anything to the contrary. We will proceed with design and full production of them as soon as I have all five deposits of $50 per tank skid. I am not asking for more than that as it will be approximately a month from the date of receiving all the payments before they are completed and ready to ship. The balance will need to be paid when the gas tank skids are completed and ready to ship. ALL shipping will be done via FEDEX Ground to the continental US and with USPS to Canada unless otherwise specified by the customer). There will be no over-inflated shipping charges and no handling fees added to the introductory price of $159.99.
For those of you ready to send in the deposits for their skid plates please send a check or money order with E-mail, telephone #, and shipping address to:

If anyone has ANY questions at all I would prefer to be E-mailed directly with them or you are welcome to call me. When ALL five deposits have been received I will get the gas tank skids into production. Perfect fit and satisfaction is guaranteed!
