    A few audio upgrades, tinted windows, remote start because it f'n hot in Texas! 6in Fabtech DB lift, 17x9 Fuel Trophy wheels, 315/70/17 Duratracs,BAMF 80in sliders w/kickout, Prinsu cab rack w/30in Heretic light bar, custom bedside decals, custom hi-lift jack brackets, US Offroad front bumper w/winch, bed rack with RTT, CB, Short wave base station, Ultra gauge, color matched grille surround, an ungodly amount of recover gear, ARB fridge, hood struts, RotoPax, traction pads.
    I get about 200 when I reach 1/4. I don't let it get below that to alleviate trash in the the fuel system and the damn needle drops like a rock after that point anyways :eek:

    I'm jealous you are getting that many miles per tank!

    Geese, that is horrible. I still get just over 500kms or 300 miles, i’ve got a 3” lift, 34” tyres no cutting, and just under 800lbs stock. I’d love to get 500 + miles with this tank, so I can do a lot more exploring without having to worry about fuel.

    I can imagine, I wanted to go that route but decided against it, to many darn mods to make, and I spend more time f icing/repairing/fiddling to make things work instead of enjoying the truck.

    Kind of jealous though.

    Hey OP,

    So am I to understand that the float arm sends to feedback to the needle on the dash, whereas the computer will show as empty/low fuel once past the stock 21 gal preset (2016 DCSB)? The needle would give an accurate fuel reading vs. the computer?

    I've been looking at these for a while. Is there a third party I can order from here in WA, or would I need to direct order from LRA? Thanks!

    I would suggest heading over to @Cruiser Brothers website for more detailed information. You can order directly through them as they are the US supplier.
