I actually ordered a kit from Plantdrive and would love to go that route. Unfortunately shipping is difficult... I need this thing before/during my drive through Peru, and the last thing I tried shipping to that country about 3 months ago still hasn't arrived.

As far as the vehicle being top-heavy. My plan was to store only one or two of the 20L oil jugs up there. I see people storing 4 20L jerry cans on their roofs in lifted trucks. My truck is stock height and already very heavy, so has a very low centre of gravity. I have harder read suspension, and my opinion it has excellent road handling. I can't imagine one or two 20L jugs being a problem.
Tank in the cargo area is not really an option, as that is already totally full at all times. The only other option is an externally mounted tank where the spare tire used to be, but I haven't had any luck finding a shop good enough to do that, and also then there's fuel senders, lift pumps, fill nozzles, all that garbage to worry about.
Maybe I'll give it a try.
