Larger Gas Tank
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

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.

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

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 !

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..
