[GeorgeG]

Negative! Will use them in my No.2 (ste same). They sell bare new anyways. I'm havig problems uploadin actual pics. Will happen ASAP!

 

[warrenpfo]

Do you know at what cost for a new fitting kit?

 

[GeorgeG]

I put together from OME used parts( from a junk yard) and came up real cheap.I have no idea how much will a brand new set cost.

Here's some pics:

with the size of that tank and the fuel its going to weight a lot

 

[GeorgeG]

Thats why they recommend a heavy duty suspention (which I have). It takes more than 166ltr too. I've tryed 190 and it had room for a few more ltrs.So it gets approx. 200kg. Well the drawer system I have ( African outback) empty is 88kgs. and so on. We can gain weight to our cruisers very fast and easy Because we can!...

When fitted does it stick down far? The pictures of the ones ive seen seem to come down quite low and look a bit venerable for getting caught when offroad

 

[GeorgeG]

Not really. Maybe an inch or so lower then the spare tire and way above the lowest point of the rear diff. It is designed very well to follow the shape of the vehidle(not a square box)

Got curious after reading your question and started some research. Original brand new parts are around 300 AUD. Way overpriced in my opinion. There's nothing complicated in instalation and parts for it. Here is a photo of things needed. It's for FJ (shown on the photo) but for an 80 is pretty much the same.

Silly question maybe but if they say it replaces the current tank why the dual filler neck?

 

[stumog]

As its from aus lots have the sub tank so have the duel neck as std. So this would just replace the oem sub tank.

It does not replace the main tank nor the OEM aux one. Of course if you have OEM aux(50 ltr) fitted it has to go to make room for this one. The spare tire (under the vehicle) has to be relocated as well. The tire holder goes as well. The tank fits perfectly udner neath using the mounting holes for the spare tire. So have two tanks and thats why the double filler neck. What I'll do (when gets warmer in few weeks) is have single neck and simply have a second filler door instaled.Like I said took original parts( incl the filler door+bits) from junk yard for the cost of a six pack of beer.

 

[GeorgeG]

Is the price wrong? Offers?
P.S. They sell new for alot more.

There is one floating around on the forum in the UK for £400 I think it was.

As it stands it's lots of money for something most on the forum see as a nice to have rather than a necessity. Most would rather get there cruisers up and running first and then add a lift them a bumper etc first. After all we live in Europe and most of the time there is a fuel station within 20miles so long range is not needed.

That'd be my one then. Offers.

 

[GeorgeG]

[GeorgeG]

Price drops to 650 euro incl. shipping within EU.
