Re: FJ Cruiser Auxiliary Fuel Tank --> INSTALLED

How hard was the installation
I didn't break a fingernail -- I had the experts at Man-A-Fre do it. It took about four hours.

and many extra gallons of fuel does it give you?
19 gallons extra

I would like a larger range in my FJ.
I'm tired of carrying plastic lawnmower cans on the roof on desert runs. If the straps break and the cans go flying forward (on a sudden stop or impact), that's like getting hit with a dozen Molatov C0cktails. Getting out of an FJ drenched in flaming gasoline would be a bad thing.

I'm also tired of hoisting them up and down every time I go somewhere. Now I just dump an extra 19 gallons in the tank(s) - thus lowering my center of gravity with about the same weight as rack-top-Jerry cans.
