    TACOMA TANK KIT UPGRADE PROGRAM & NEW MODEL TANK
    As US agents for Long Range Automotive (LRA) we offer over 60 different tank kits for Toyotas, Jeeps and Land Rovers - among others. We have known and done business with LRA for years and formalized this exclusive relationship in late 2017.

    During 2018 we have sold several hundred tanks here with uniformly good results. The one exception was a tendency for the tank to "burp" back gas, fill slowly and vent poorly. When we found out about it, we stopped selling the tank and investigated - learning too late that there was a history of this behavior for many/most owners.

    We, in conjunction with LRA, undertook a development program to learn what the problem was and to correct the deficiency in the product. Over a period of months, a new version of the tank was developed, along with a "fix-it kit" - both adding a spring-loaded Inlet Control Valve (ICV).

    Two things to announce:

    UPGRADE PROGRAM
    We are offering the fix-it kit to owners of LRA tanks for installation. We will ship the kit free of charge to owners (with proof of purchase). Installation will take a shop or owner approximately two hours. Upon installation, we will reimburse the owner with a $200 payment with photo documentation of the installation. If you own a Tacoma with LRA tank, please provide your name, address and phone number along with date and proof of purchase, along with a description of your experience with the tank. Send to info@cruiserbrothers.com and we will contact you.

    NEW KIT ON SALE
    The new kit is now available for sale and to relaunch this 33 gallon replacement tank, it is available at $200 off the retail price of $1,595 ($1,395 plus shipping) on orders placed through January 4th.

    If you would like a quote to purchase and ship a tank, please go to this web page, then scroll down to select the Tacoma tank #TTACDCR and "Request A Quote" - we will respond by email with a total price with shipping/handling.

    Email sent with shipping. The DCLB kit has an ETA of sometime late first quarter of 2019. Borrowed this from a church, but it seems appropriate.

    We appreciate the goodwill and patience of this community. My partner and I owe you guys/gals big time.....

    THANK YOU
    The last few weeks have been crazy, gear sale, tanks sale, elocker sale, office guy quit, lazy partner (Ward), overworked partner (Georg).....you get the idea.

    Very simply, we took a lot of orders and we are still cleaning up so if we missed anyone, please call Ward at 209-636-0831 and he (I) will be for forgiveness and try to make it right.

    Some snaps from Victoria State, Australia - items on the way by United Cargo. Those are tanks, lots and lots of tanks. Also, a few goodies in there as well, not to mention , and stocking stuffers.

    Thanks to everyone on both sides of the water! upload_2018-12-17_15-27-15.jpg

    Those look like some really awesome tanks.

    I wish there was a more affordable option, they’re currently out of the budget.

    My stock tank spits fuel similar to what people are describing here. Always has. Every fill up, any pump. Maybe I just dont know how to fuel a Tacoma. So if the LRA is updated to not do it, then I should be good!
