I have my totalled '92 XJ trail rig in the garage and am in the process of pulling the drivetrain to swap into my 2000. I hear that the older steel gas tanks (pre 97) sit a little higher than the newer plastic ones. Is it worth the swap? Anything that would make it tricky? I also would like to have the fuel filter outside the tank like the old design.
The 92 has a small dent in it, reducing my capacity to ~19.5 gallons. I have never been able to squeeze more than 18.5 in the 2000 tank, so I'd be adding capacity as well. I am of course getting a skid plate on the 2000 once I figure out what the plan is. Any recommedations on the best skid?
Thanks
