Does anyone have a larger than OE gas tank on their 3rd Gen 4runner? Anyone know where I might be able to get one?

I'm just looking to go further between fill ups.

 

Fuel cell, Then link the systems. Thats the best way, Unless you wanna buy a whole new tank outta a different vehicle, Then deal with fabbing up mounts and such.

 

I am building a custom tank as we speak. Plans are for it to be ~35" wide, 24" long, 6" at the rear and 9" at the front. It is going where the spare used to be. ~25 gallons

BTW--this is my second attempt at tank building--this first one blew up my other truck.....BBBAAWWWWW Just kidding

 

To answer your question, I think Downey Offroad Sells Toyota Fuel cells that will fit a 3rd gen.

 

That was funny...lol....
My stock tank is so small that the old spare tire spot seems perfect for a bigger tank. I used to hate having friends carry my gas in their bed. Just armor it up, huh.

 

What ever you do armor the out of it, i am soon going to be on my 2nd tank and i am gonna beef the out of the skid.

 

what do you mean carry your gas in there bed?

 

The tank will be 1/8" alum but will have an external skid made from alum and UHMW.

It will tie into the bottom of my modified bumper/tow hitch and alleviate departure angle skidding. Also the separation from the tank means less inertia carries to the tank to "F" it up.

Its gonna be sick--but it seems like i have been building forever or waiting for parts all the time......saga continues

 

I assume he means like, Go on a run, And have his buddies with trucks throw his spare can full of gas in their beds. Fumes in a runner with a gas can in the back suck, trust me i know, Stupid woman.

 

ford f 150 19 gallon or e 150 22 gallon fit where your spare goes PERFECTLY! the 19 gallon only hangs down 4 inches past the frame rails and the 22 will hang about 8 inches past the frame rails. ford pump will be fine and can be wired to work with the gauge. and on 3rd gens either tank has a driver side fill so you probly can use your old filler tube!
ill be mounting mine here in a couple weeks when i have some more free time !

Thanks Scuba, that is exactly what I meant. D

 

relocate your spare tire and also source a LC95 fuel tank then it would be a bolt on fit, complete with protector plate, clamps, bolts, etc. it's a 90-liter tank and will directly bolt on to the space for your spare tire. you'll just need to get the dual tank electricals and gauge/switch and you're a go..

 

lc95? land cruiser 90 series, prado? or one out of a 95 land cruiser...

 

throw an excursion gas tank in there... 30 something gallons. come on... i know that has crossed someones mind once upon a time.

 

Demensions...?

 

It was just a guess...

 

Crolison,

yes, it's the LC95 prado.. it has the same platform with the N185 4Runner (3rd gen). some versions have the dual tank option.. std tank is 90L at the back (spare wheel location) and the optional 70L tank (same as the N185 4Runner).

This company has some huge replacement tanks, but they're in Australia

the one I want to see a pic of -> 1st gen 4runner, stock replacement, 130 liter tank (34.3 gallons!)

 

not sure of the measurements of the excursion tank, but with a vehicle that monstrous, its gotta be huge.
