Why not just tow the fuel bladders?

My basic calculations estimate you could get another 15 to 17 gallons in the doors
Just a question, seeing as gasoline weights 6 pounds a gallon, did your calculations account for the extra wear, and tear on the door hinges. That would come from supporting an extra 90, to 102 pounds, plus the weight of the bag and all it's connecting hardware?

Obviously you’d have to have a ME Spec armored-up model as your base.
 
It would probably be easier and less problematic to install a tank in place of the spare tire. Or you could remove the rear seats 2nd row and install a fuel cell in place of them if you want less weight in the rear. If you gouge your door on a rock ledge it could tear the bladder open if in the door.

An MRAP Land Cruiser, the only question i have, does it come with the optional Ma Deuce, or just the base M240 Bravo?

You could also utilise other storage vessels that Toyota has already installed for your convenience

Firstly, start by filling the windscreen washer bottle with gasoline. Thats a gallon or two right there, and it helps weight distribution.


Also, drain the radiator and fill the cooling system with gasoline. It cools better than water.
And when the engine overheats and cooks the head gasket for the umpteenth time you don't need to syphon gas from the gas tank to torch that POS.

We need to petition Toyota to make this a standard feature.

Honestly, there are so many wasted nooks in these body panels. There is easily enough space to get another 60 gallons of gas if you used the bladders in each door panel, rear quarter panels and the tailgate. For safety sake, I think the rear bumper would need a secondary containment bladder in the event of a rear end collision.

Um hello that's for the coke.
