The current "Product list" through Cruiser Brothers, does NOT show these tanks but, I have been informed they will shortly, as this product just became a part of their inventory.


Mounting locations have limited these tanks to ONLY DCSB trucks, retrofitting to fit your truck can be done with some effort or so I've been informed. Post or PM me if interested, not just thinking.

Are you shitting me? $1,400???

 

Unfortunately no, I'm not shitting you!

 

Rated aux tanks for the truck bed regularly cost $1k+.

I wish it would fit my truck.

 

What's with the cable hanging under the carrier bearing in the second picture?

 

Looks like to catch the drive shaft if the u joint breaks.

 

Cable is part of an emergency braking system common in Australia. Hangs down to snag tree stumps, brush, vines and rocks to help with off road braking.

 

To hang your grease gun and/or light while you service the u-joints and do other misc. work underneath?

 

I'm sure the price is right in line with other offerings and I really WANT one but that's a tough pill to swallow. The shipping hurts too.
I'd kill for one of these though. Would be nice not to have to worry about securing jerry cans.

 

Pretty neat, but $1700 buys a lot of gas

 

How is the tank constructed? It appears to be made from steel. Is this a double wall system? Is it more resilient than the stock tank?

 

probably makes Taco lean worse.. Then I'd also need a custom skidplate so more $

 

its made from steel, not double walled, but internally braced with baffles.

 

Thank you for the reply! Does it hang lower than stock?

 

also, as a person with this tank the price isnt bad. And you may not have to fill up as much, but you will get a sticker shock when you fill up lol. i think my last fill up was 85 bucks

 

The weight of the gas alone is an extra 80 lbs. Figure the added weight of the bigger tank and you're reducing payload by at least 100 lbs in a truck that is already limited. I can go 350 miles hwy with the factory tank. I like the idea of a bigger tank, my F-150 is 36 gal. But the negatives outweigh the positives. on a Tacoma for me.

 

I dont remember, but i will try to get a pic today.

also, be aware that the install sucks lol, their directions suck.

 

Lol, really? What's wrong with jerry cans?

I wouldn't want my tank stick out under the frame rails and add even more weight to only the driver side...

Also this will be illegal for road use in California in case you didn't know

 

just had the truck smogged and it passed all their stuff. it reuses all factory ports. He just said as long as it uses factory parts it passes any smog test.

 

Lucky! That could have gone the other way. Plenty of LT guys running fuel cells can't pass smog so I'm very surprised to hear that you did because this is nothing else than a fuel cell... just under the bed and KINDA in factory location

Edit: also why do you have to smog a 2014 truck??
