You have just defined the OEM subtank in the textbook manner.
Your resolution is an OEM subtank. It fits above the existing spare tire carrier and holds 13 gallons.

Dan--Will it still fit after I did the spare "lift" mod? If so "sold American" and please send me one. If it is OEM I assume CC Toyota would install it.
Thanx, Jim
Jim,
Read George's page describing the OEM sub-tank (http://www.george4wd.taskled.com/auxtank.html).
You can also do a search under the 80's tech as Dan and others have documented installs.

I do not believe there is enough room between the tank and the spare crossmember to enable you to keep the washers there.
I doubt you would be able to get a dealer to do it. Even if you did, this job is labor-intesive to say the least and it would get really expensive very quickly. I have over 30 hours invested in mine.
The only source for cost-effective tanks is the OZ wreckers market.
OZ subtanks
I priced a few in the OZ wrecker market and you can find them ~$350-400 as quoted but its difficult and expensive to ship them. Ocean freight has minimums and air will run you $400+. I think it would be easier to work through one of the domestic suppliers that get them every so often. If anyone can find a reasonable ocean freight service than were talking a different story.

MAF has gotten them off and on in the past as has $OR.
I got mine from MAF, Steve was very helpful.
