Not hard to do yourself. All the parts are easily available. I would go with a poly tank a new sending unit and a good after market skid. Should still be cheaper than your quote.
I have a plastic/poly (not sure what the dif is) YJ tank I could let go pretty cheap. The sending unit is still there and looks to be in pretty good shape. Send me a message if you're interested.
Should be a rubber pad between the gas tank and the skid plate. I'm pretty sure mine has that anyway. Upgrade the skid plate to something beefier because stock ones are pretty thin. I have a diamond plate skid which I like.
But as was said it's an easy job. Just make sure the tank has minimal fuel in it to keep it light.
It's not hand made. Not sure of the company because I got it second hand. But you should be able to find it on Quadratec or 4WD Hardware. If you aren't keeping it much longer I'd just weld up the one you got.
Call around to the junk yards to find used one. Last time i looked i got a skid and tank for $50.
I didn't use the best choice of words when i said "i'm not planning to keep jeep too much longer".. To be correct, I don't WANT to keep THIS jeep too much longer, but money,, well you know.. As soon as i win the lotto, i'll get a newer jeep. lol
