Prado 120 sub tank in a GX470 - has anyone done it? Well I’m gonna try!

[Toyoland66]

The two electrical connections. I am checking with another supplier for the wiring harness.

the completed tank

The other parts - filler and tank straps

 

[Toyoland66]

in our city, they sell this fuel tank from prado 120 for $150, Almaty, Kazakhstan.

I am sure people would buy these if they could, but I don’t know how you would ship them to the US.

I am still trying to find these two parts - the wiring harness and the fuel tube grommet

just pack in a box and send, we can send up to 14kg/30.6 lbs through a standard post office.

what is the part number of this wiring and pipe attachment?

I was assuming shipping would be restricted because they contain(ed) fuel unless the tank was thoroughly cleaned out. I don’t think you could ship via air and can’t ship overseas via ground, the only other option would be by boat. I am basing this on what is restricted for shipping in the USA.

82165-60170 “wire, frame, no.2”​

77295-60260 “grommet, fuel tube”

by air delivery, by plane. I think the post office will allow delivery if I wash the fuel tank.

New parts:
77295-60260 25$
8216560170 58$
delivery about a month to my city.

I think the way to do this is to get every possible part off of the truck in your market once we have a master list. If this can be done somewhat on the cheap I’m quite interested.

 

[Toyoland66]

Slow on updates lately, life gets in the way. I have placed what hopefully will be the final orders, so following is the master parts list, this is pending install so subject to minor changes. Note that I had to order from multiple suppliers in UAE and Japan to get all the items.

[ZIDCONPRO]

in my city, they can make an additional fuel tank from stainless steel metal, with a pump that pumps fuel into the main tank.
+ 141 liters/ 37.24 gallons in TOYOTA Tundra!

 

[Henry Odyssey]

I'm really rooting for you. You are the pioneer for this!

@ZIDCONPRO I can't speak for anyone else but a big reason I'm interested in this OEM tank is that every 3rd party tank I've researched 1) had to use a loud pump to push fuel into the original tank 2) gives unreliable fuel readings 3) has finicky performance when it came to pumping fuel from the auxiliary tank to the original tank.

That said, I'd still be open to getting a 3rd party tank, especially if it's the only realistic option on the market.

Can't guarantee these issues don't exist with this OEM long range tank but I'm excited that someone is doing the leg work to find out!

 

[elsaba]

Toyoland66, you doin ok?

 

[racwerx]

I've been watching and waiting to see if any updates get posted as well. Very interested in this mod.

 

[RCRA guy]

Rooting for ya, Toyoland66

 

[Rock Spock]

This is incredible

 

[Svensk120]

I tihnk that anyone wanting an aux tank is rooting for @Toyoland66 . Something like this using stock parts means OEM quality and reliability.
A master list / kit... and someone could make alot of people in the US happy!

 

[Toyoland66]

Hey everyone. Sorry for no updates, things have been busy and I haven’t had time to work on this. My GX is my DD and I need a weekend to do the swap. The tank and all the parts are sitting in my shop, just waiting for time to do it.

 

[grinchy]

I hate to say it, but based on my experience doing it first time you’ll probably want to budget the rig being down for 5 days minimum. Depends if you need partsnlocal or parts shipped. Probably only one non weekend day if parts locally available.

You swapped a prado sub tank with all factory parts?

 

[grinchy]

I pioneered the 200 series factory sub tank install. Pioneering there is always a few things that come up. I’m optimistic @Toyoland66 will succeed, but not optimistic it’ll drop right in in 8-12 hours. I hope to be proven wrong.

By the third install all the kinks would be worked out, the parts list finalized, and smooth sailing with an accurate timetable and action list.

 

[Cruiser804]

Tried Dave @Japan4X4 for the parts?
