AEV Fuel Caddy for rear tire carrier

[RobertD]

Check out this awesome fuel storage idea from AEV, designed for their JK Wranger rear tire carrier. Shouldn't be too hard for a fabricator to incorporate this into a Tire Carrier for the GX. Hopefully Pelfreybilt or Demello will consider it. If not I plan on designing it with a custom bumper fabricator.

Holds 10 gallons and basically takes up no space.

So who's going to be the first to try it

Titan fuel tanks has a similar unit. Those in CA use caution because this is under 11 gallons it is considered a gas can and since it's not CA approved the BLM can write you a ticket.

Fuel Caddy FAQ

I live in California, can I buy the AEV Fuel Caddy? Does it meet CARB regulations?

Yes, the AEV Fuel Caddy complies with all current CARB, EPA and DOT regulations.


Do you have a link to the Titan one? I only saw the one they make for full size trucks that goes in the spare tire area, but it may be too big for a 120.

Just thought of this idea.

Install one of these 5 gallon transfer tanks in the spare tire well, and have the AEV Fuel Caddy gravity feed it. You'd end up with 38 gallons of fuel on board, and you could drive 570 miles at 14mpg.
