I've had my '07 LC now for 2 1/2 years and it's been a great rig. In 43k miles it's taken me all over the west and as far as the U.P. of Michigan. I've done a lot to it and plan to do a lot more... but as we all know there's one glaring issue we all have and that is the miserable range. The problem is massively compounded when you put anything on the roof or god forbid, have to tow something. Early 100's can upgrade to a LRA sub or main tank but post May 2005 is stuck with what the factory gave us. And no, I'm not interested in hauling around fuel cans. The point here is to not have to stop for fuel so often, if I'm pulling over to dump a fuel can in the tank I might as well stop at a gas station. I want longer range no matter if I'm driving around town, on a road trip or in the mountains.
That's the one problem that I can't find a solution to and it's driving me f**king nuts. I'm genuinely considering buying an earlier rig and swapping all of my parts over before I get too deep into this thing. The guys at Long Range Automotive and Long Range America aren't interested in solving this problem, the market is likely much too small to bother with. @porkandcorn gave the sub tank a solid effort and was defeated. @J1000 seems to think a larger main tank should be possible with some clever/simple reengineering of the EVAP line. The '07+ Tundra was fitted with the same size tank that we have but had an optional 38g tank... I can't imagine that the EVAP system was different between the two so maybe there's something we can learn there? Personally I'm interested in a larger main tank as I want to keep my spare in the factory location but I'd be willing to bet similar solutions would work for a sub tank as well.
Any insight or advice or general BS comments are appreciated!
