my thoughts on the bigger tank are that it may hang down even lower and be even more prone to hits.. ??  not sure without actually seeing and measuring though.

My thoughts is gas in the tank is always better than gas in a can.  One, its a lower center of gravity.  But two, and most importantly, you don't have to "donate" it to a gas guzzling Heep, because they thought they could get out to Chicken Corners and back to City Market on 3/4's tank of gas, only to get the can handed back to you COMPLETELY empty and a "Thanks, man" for repayment.


been there, got the bumper sticker "I drive a Jeep, therefore I have a small brain and a smaller penis."

    the extra distance on the larger tank would be nice.

I thought they were both 68 Litre tanks

Hey BZZR2 pm me how much it was shipped to ottawa

OK we have:
myself (Blacknight)
Davyboy
blacktrack99
what about JDMCRX,nprecon or bzzr2 (if the gas tank thing work out)

4cyl's have 56L tanks according to specs. 

you might be able to use the sidekick skids but not 100% on that.

hhmmm, that would be interesting if it would bolt up.  i'm waiting to hear back from aftermarket4x4 on the size differences.  then i will be able to give a definate answer regarding this pre-order.

so, i'm just gonna put this out there.....  who is serious about wheeling and does not feel like getting stuck on the trail because their gas tank is F'ed from hitting a rock, backing into a stump and/or so on!?  i'm in for the pre-order but we need at the very least one more person!  this is a way cheaper and better option than replacing a busted tank!

OK we have: 4

what about JDMCRX,or nprecon

this thread will NOT die until the skids are made and we have them installed.  wheeling season is coming up - no time to waste!

I'm trying 

So no replys on yahoo group GV or XL-7 .  Will try some other sites will see.

I'm in.... IF I don't have to wait 4 months to receive the product .  Does anyone have any idea  what the  shipping cost on this hunk of steel would be to ship it the 600 +/- miles to my honme of record?

OBTW, I have the STOCK, 17+/- gallon fuel cell in my 2002 Tracker and I have a valley tow hitch on Buster too.  I would hope these babies are fabricated so they fitinside the hitch frame without additional fabrication. 

Did the guys at Aftermarket say they would build the skids with five orders for the SAME style skid.... or was it an open ended statement that they'll build them with five (PRE-PAID) orders?

I would contact AFtermarket4x4 to get the answers to your questions, I have emailed them to let them know we've got 5 people at this point and we'll see what the response is in a day or two.
