UPDATE, I purchased this to put into my 91 77 series, and it does not fit not even close, the 77 series come with a compartment that hangs down to store tools and whatever, this tank is clearly made for ones without the cubby. Newer 70 series wagons, I believe 2000s stopped having the cubby, and that is what this tank is made for. Sucks for me. Beware these tanks are made for the newer style wagons. For what its worth they are indeed made well and I wish it would have worked for me. Since I have it now, and highly doubt can re-sell it I might try to modify it to make it work, but it will take some serious fab work. Stay tuned

Hey Nick I am very sorry to hear this , I will try to fit one under a troopy here in a few weeks and will post up about it here. So in order to fit it in a older style 77 you would have to remove that small storage compartment in the rear floorboard correct ? I wonder if only the jdm 77 model has this ?
Interested to see how you get this to work. I have a 91 77 as well and want to see this work.
Tackled the tank install today on my HZJ77, worked out pretty well. Cut out the storage cubby and it fit up there nicely. The two front mounts worked perfectly, fabbed up outriggers for the rear to bolt up. Actually have about 3.5" of space for the cubby still, made things more difficult for myself by cutting it out completely should have just cut the bottom part and made a new floor, now I have to-rebuild the whole thing completely.
The bolt pattern on the sender does not much, should be easy enough to re-drill the sender flange, tackle that next, but all the other connections line up well.
The tank tucks up nicely, the bottom about level with the bottom of the rear shackles.

I have 2 more left of these and a possibility to get a few more in Europe at this moment.
I just installed one on a HZJ75 troopy and it fits perfect, I had to remove the spare tire carrier bracket and it fits right in. I will post some pics of that later this week.
This is a 145 liter that can be used for either fuel or water so if you have a troopy and want to carry water for those long trips then this is it.

Just installed one of these from Joe on an HZJ77. Took some minor tweaks, but was pretty easy and a nice upgrade for any fuel-thirsty Cruiser!

Some more pics of what these tanks look like under a Troopy , I have 2 more in stock here but my supplier in Europe has 4 more I can bring over.
I decided to weld in a second oem filler neck in the body but I have seen a few troopies in Europe with these tanks and those guys just used a round aftermarket gas cap as seen on rv’s and boats.

Hey Joe, I'll take one of these. If you don't mind hanging on to it for me until after the holidays then I can pick it up.
