good idea...I dont think i want anything down there hanging since it will get destroyed by rocks, the clearance is an issue for me.

I haven't done any of this to mine yet, however, my opinion would be that if you're going to have a shower/running water setup, this makes more sense vs an extended range tank and water jerry cans on the back/roof. That's the route I plan to take with fuel cans on the swingout and water tank underneath. To each their own

I didn’t loose much clearance. Tank went on this shelf. I could have used thinner square tubing actually.
i like that.
As someone else said, it’s to each their own and depends on your goals for your truck. I personally don’t travel far enough between stations to need auxiliary fuel. I however want a hot shower every few days but don’t want to pay for a campground or other way to shower. My pump goes to a quick connect in the bumper and I just hang
Thanks. It took a lot of measuring, fiddling, and head scratching to figure out what appears to be just a few bolts and some box tubing. Lol
very cool
Damn, you’ve really used that space well! Once I rip my drawers out I’d like to do something similar to Mount an air compressor too.. it’s a 44L tank.. roughly 10gallons? Have a 200L long range fuel tank in the spare wheel well so opted for the footwell
Yeah the wits end quarter panel mount was super helpful.Damn, you’ve really used that space well!

Fitted a walbro lift pump to my 1HDFT, it removed the slight rattle in the IP, but showed up a leak in the primer pump
Damn, that gasland tankless looks huge! Makes me realize I really need to watch dimensions when I pull the trigger.. I like the idea of the old spare tire solution and will likely go there but think I can figure something out up inside the frame. Don't need the clearance but not sure I like it hanging down. When I had a 35" spare there it hung down and just looked like a big diaper on the 80. Good to see shower solutions coming out, I'm hoping to get a ton of ideas at the overland expo coming in 3 days and maybe start trying to put something together soon.
It’s really not all that big IMO and like I said in another post I could have prob snugged the tank up a little higher. It also sits between the frame rails. I don’t know if a shower solution is “coming out” per se. I honestly made this up as I went along with a couple of ideas in my head and hoped it would work out. It mostly has and I already have ideas for version 2.0. That hot water heater and many nearly identical ones have been around for a while. I just came up with an idea for the tank and where to hide the pump. I also ordered these and passed the hoses through the body.

I then used these as a quick connect in the bumper.

It will be relocated at some point.

You can have both. There is a fuel tank, which is a part of an Australian kit, that sits above the spare tire.
I'm in the process of installing one of these. Instead of the spare wheel, which will be mounted on the rear bumper, I planning on installing a stainless steel water tank.
This will give me both extra fuel and water, while maintaining current clearance.
Agreed. There is also a long range tank that’s a replacement for the stock tank and fits in the original location.
I'm pretty sure that one extends down past the frame rail though, which kinda sucks because it sits exactly where you're going to get hung up in terms of breakover.
Fair point. I didn’t look that deep into it, as the price point for it doesn’t seem reasonable to me.
Does anyone have pictures of the long range tank that replaces the existing tank and sits where it sits vs. the long range tank that sits where the spare tire sat? Also, what is the capacity of each of them? I'd prefer the one that sits where the spare tire sits as I don't want anything extending lower than the frame. Thanks!
I don't have pictures personally but if you search the forum for LRA tanks there are a couple threads that have pictures. That's how I knew the one that replaced the main extended past the frame rail. I saw a few install pictures.
Their website does. You can search for it.
