Would you be able to tell me if you think the gastank from the XL-7 would fit under the Tracker?

I got to wondering about it and figured you might know or be able to check.

Wondering if it's worth it to swap for extra milage.
Stock Tracker 14.5 
XL-7 is 16.9

Is it worth the 2.5 extra gallons?

Get a 2" body lift get a spare tank and the top off urs and tig weld the other top on urs 2" higher. figure out the are of 2" by 26" wide and 15" deep. something like that

One issue with raising the tank on a 99+ is that Suzuki put frame rails over the gas tank.  Notice the two cross member running front to back in the rear of the frame.

Sorry for the delay.  Buying house/moving/swapping drivetrains.......busy boy.  Haven't been on any forums for a long, long time.

Couldn't have helped much anyway, though.  The rear of the XL7 I was using was creamed.  The gas tank was pretty well crushed.  Didn't leak, though.
