NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yeah the sr5 upgrade package tundras have a 38 gallon tank.

 

I haven't really read much yet. Just filled it the other day to 30. Good thing it isn't too cold or too hot in Cali where I'm at. Long time waiting at the pump

 

I went from an electric car to this Taco and thought what a large tank, but that 38 gallon Tundra would sure be a thirsty beast!!!

 

lol wtf.

 

40 gal LRA auxiliary tank on my 200...64 total. People in line behind me at Costco hate me something fierce.

 

Is that the chipmunk mod?

 

When you want to be long travel, but all you can afford is unpainted fenders.

 

Toyota needs to offer an optional larger fuel tank.

 

Looks like a hamster with his cheeks stuffed.

 

Bah. I think a Tundra is more fuel efficient than my 2nd Gen. I've never tested my tank for actual, real capacity though. I try to never go below 1/4 tank, but the few times I've hit the "fuel reserve" warning, I could only squeeze in 18 gallons.

 

I've been looking at the one's they offer for the DCSB for a while now. Still can't figure out if I want to spend the $$ to get an additional ~9 gal.

 

LRA and Cruiser Bros. did a ton of work to sort out filling issues with the early batch of Taco tanks. I talked with Ward Harris at length before the holiday's and I'm confident they have it sorted out. Since my Taco is really only being used locally and mostly by our daughter I have no plans to go down the rabbit hole modding it. That's why I bought the Pro. That said, after sliders, the only thing I'm pondering doing is the tank.

I was one of the first 200 series installs. I knew if I was going to do it I was going for the largest tank available (they also offer 13 and 24 gal versions for the 200). If you check out the threads on Ih8mud you'll see several 13 gal owners lamenting not going larger, and a few that have actually gone and bought larger tanks. I've had mine for 9 months now and have never had any issues and I only wish it would have been an option earlier as the 24 gal oem tank on such a gas guzzling pig was just stupid small and really made both long hwy and trail trips rather stressful at times.

The Taco's range isn't nearly as paltry as a built 200, but I do wish they'd offer an aux tank for the spare tire location as well as the replacement tank. Then you'd really be able to cover ground without jerry's.

 

You'll have to forgive me, but 200? Would that be an SUV?

I have a 2016, which is 21.1 gal and I believe their replacement is ~34 gal based on the group buy thread I found from last year. My question would be if the added tank and fuel weight would worsen the taco lean?

 

200 as in Land Cruiser? lc200 I think..not sure.

 

Fuck Toyota and their bullshit coverage on warranty. My sai valve is stuck open at 87k and it’s not covered under the 100k powertrain warranty. $5-700 for the part.

 

It should be covered under the forever emissions warranty.

 

The emissions warranty only for 7/70k

Now I’m questioning the value of buying a vehicle that’s a cpo from Toyota.

 

The 'fuel reserve' on my GX is 6 gallons. I started using an ultraguage to know how much gas i actually have left.
