Time for a new thread now that they're out and that I have one in the SCORPION!
Rear View
(I had to lay on the ground to get this photo
they are very flush with the back of the FJ
and don't impact the rear approach angle)
Side View
(Note that the muffler hangs down just as
far as the tank does - again the issue of
approach angle concerns is solved)

I am very surprised your exhaust isn't smashed yet.

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.

That is such classy engineering and install. It's actually, for a better word, beautiful.
How does a fill up happen with one filler tube? Very nice.
It's apparent that you don't wheel much. As Jeshua said your tail pipe is pristine.

One filler tube that fills up faster than the OEM (less apparent restriction). The line going to the main tank is larger and that received preference in the fueling. Once the main tank is full, the auxiliary fills. Transfer from the auxiliary tank to the main tank is as simple as flicking a switch on the dash - seamless.

I know I don't get out all that often and when I do, I'm a sissy.

The basic tank with skid plate is $995.00
The sending unit (for the gauge) is another $41.95.
The new gauge (the cool one) is coming from Australia and I don't know what it will set me back. I could have had a more simple, ordinary gauge, but what fun would that have been?
