- 2000 4Dr XLT 4WD 4.0
Here is the deal. I wish I had a camera I would show this to you. I saw a straight up climb that tops off with a flat plateau. I said, I can take that in my 2000 STOCK 4WD explorer. Well, I did. The problem is when the front end made it to the top and the back end was still on the lower ground it hit with a boom. That BOOM put a huge dent in the front end of my gas tank. I lost about a gallon of fuel capacity in my tank. To protect a new (or more likely junk yard tank) I will get in the future, do they (I know the do because I have the bolt holes for it right in front of my tank) make a skid plate for the gas tank and WHY did mine not come with it if it is a 2000 4x4 XLT? Anyone know how bad expensive those things are?
