For me, both tanks took a day. I paid $1450

No issues. I've already burned through an entire 43 gallons... And leave for the Smoky Mountain 500 on Sunday, it will be 1300+ miles towing my camper at 8mpg... so maybe 3 fillups? I'm also very happy with it!

From FK: Since your setup includes both the main and auxiliary tanks, here’s a quick note about how the fuel gauge behaves after installation: When both tanks are installed and filled up, the fuel gauge will initially remain stable — it only reflects the fuel consumption from the main tank...

Try the 700 videos. It's only the Auxiliary tank that needs the modification. If you just do the larger primary, it's plug and play. Looks like the pump is designed for 2 tanks, but the cap is setup for one, so you're just reverting it to a dual tank solution.

Yes, if my NEW fuel tank has a leak, I'm not expecting the dealer to fix it under warranty. But if ANYTHING else happens, I'll be first in line at the service drive, grabbing my free coffee and donuts... because I have a 100k Lexus Extended warranty that covers EVERYTHING (except this glossy...

Interesting question.... I've only filled up once, shop had 12-14 gallons in it, I added 29. I did nothing special. I am towing the trailer this weekend, so I will have more details, but from my understanding, you shouldn't recognize any difference.

I have 50mm Artisan Spirits flares waiting for paint... Painter is at SEMA, LOL.

lol… just watched the “warranty video”. Funny he mentioned turbos too.

For all those worried about aftermarket tanks voiding warranties, go learn about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (USA). I personally inspected my tanks, and they clean and debris free. Worst thing that could happen is??? I mean it a tank that holds fuel. I didn’t upgrade the turbos or anything...

Why would a shop care? They are paid to install parts. But in all fairness, the shop owner is a friend,, an overlander, and a LC owner.

Looks like both crates together totaled 158lbs. The wood is pretty thin.
