Considering a long range tank. Haven't decided for sure what size yet. If you have one, have you ever had a rock or berm hit it or dent it while wheeling?

I've measured a tad over 1000km driven on the odometer from a single fill of the 90l main and 45l sub tank, with the 1HZ diesel in mine, so I've never felt the need for more fuel capacity than that. There's quite a bit of room under the rig, so I think if you get a tank that's not too extreme it should be well up out of the way.
I’ve landed all 7500# of my 80 onto my 24 gal 2 times now haha. Dented for sure but no leaks. Was surprised it hit the first time since it’s tucked up pretty high.
Mine hasn't contacted any rocks yet. Lots of desert , almost no crawling.

I had the same concern when I installed the 28 gallon aux tank, so I had a heavy aluminum sheet bent and installed by Ryan at OTRAMM onto mine as an extra layer of protection.
I haven’t had mine installed for very long, however I put It to the test in Moab, particularly Kane Creek, it looks like it helped in a spot or 2!

I perched mine on a rock. The paint scratched. Otherwise, fine.
Since 24G LRA has been installed have gouged my rear sway bar near axle and in center near diff on rocks and clanged outer corners of 4x4 Labs rear bumper. Never touched the tank.
Hey Desmo - Is your tank a 24 or 42 gallon? Looks larger than a 24. Trying to make up my mind on the two. Thanks!

I have the 24, however it will hold more fuel than 24 gallons and I have never topped off etc. it consistently cuts off at 28 and I proceed to fill the regular 22 gallon stock tank.
Has anyone else put ~28 gallons in their's?
I haven't done a side by side comparation to other's, but comparing the pictures to other 24's I thought they looked the same in terms of how far it hangs down etc.
The 42 hung down way too far for me, I still do trail's and am yet to find any disadvantage with the small tank. I do try to run it as empty as possible on the trail just to minimize weight.

I too have noticed that my 24 gallon tank holds more than 24 gallons. I haven't put 28 in, but hit 26 regularly.
