For those who don't have rear AC, this 30 liter (almost 8 gallon) bladder is kinda trick.

They also have water tanks that fit behind the front seats.

I like that option, all be it, an expensive one. But if bunch of folks order one then I wouldn't mind getting one for the 80. I think there might be a plastic taste with any type of a bladder storage system but still is very convenient.
 
Here's another idea. Made of Stainless Steel with 36L capacity. But looks like this water tank is in the way of the slider mounts.

ARB flexi tank. So it look like it has a 90 degree bend in the filler tube which allows it to be filled inside the vehicle.

ARB U.S. doesn't import that unit!
 
Perhaps you could get one of our fellow Aussie mudders to send one over. It can't be that heavy, right?

Thanks Hoser.

I've been looking into these the last couple of days. Yes ARB doesn't import the flexitank, I did find on an OZ forum that the ARB unit is about $200 Aus.

The one behind the seats (huge) christo acutally sells an african outback version for $75. It's like 15-20 gallons of water though. Very cool but I'm afraid the kids will pop it and I will have a boat out of water.

I thought about doing an rv type tank underneath, but limited on space since I want to keep the spare down there (not on back) and I don't really want something under there that I could possibly tear a hole in.

I am going to e-mail the above link and will post back.
