Great addition Phil, glad to see you got it all done.
Whats the capacity of the extra tank?

I have seen reports from 13 - 15 gals. I know the tank is 100% dry so a fill up will be my final answer.
 
New rear brake shoes and turned the drums, ARB 2.5m awning installed on the 80. Also installed a dual battery system and brake controller on my in-laws FJ Cruiser.

Added a few cup holders -
 
you must use some large cups!
 
I installed a snorkel on the 1991. Just in time, with all this flooding.
 
Washed the engine & underbody
Had Discount Tire balance all five tires
Replaced CCOTs cheap-a$$ plastic mirrors with OEM metal & glass mirrors
Greased the driveshafts, u-joints, & tie rod ends
Adjusted toe-in

Replaced high beam switch and wiring to headlights - I was driving down the mountain from Globe to Lake Roosevelt :steer: a few weeks ago and when I hit the switch to dim the headlights it blew the fuse and killed all my lights. I was going 70 mph on a curve on a steep hill with no lights and no idea where the road was :eek: - very scary!

Painted my bucket seat frame / Engel fridge mount

Nice updates Stepmurr, I can only imagine the lights going out at 70 on a curve :eek: !!!

Phil - Sweet aux. tank. Is that factory? I've looked around this site a bit and it seems like most people see this mod as too much trouble. How was your experience and can you share how much $$ you have into this?
