Trailhunter auxiliary gas tank

[Pappy]

Signed up.. Not sure if Aux tank or good replacement of OEM tank is what I want.

That is an easy decision for me. I've had three trucks with spare tire replacement tanks. I like the flexibility. If I don't need the fuel I only run the primary tank. It's only when I'm traveling I use the aux tank. It's the same logic of not keeping fuel in the NATO can on the back bumper. If I don't need it, I don't carry it.

I talked with the folks at Long Range about their pending tank when I was at Overland Expo. I told them to shit or get off the pot and get the damn thing engineered and into production. It sounded like it will be an aux tank, which I prefer.

That said, if you are serious about an auxiliary tank, and want to spend the coin ($2K+), I would get signed up on their waitlist. Let's show them that interest is out there. Here is the link to make it easy. Now, quit yapping and get on this list.

I signed on, but was disappointed they didn't give us a choice (I know, can't make everyone happy) between replacement tank or aux tank, as long as it's under bed.... We'll see.

There was a place for comments. I put my desire there.

I couldn't find a comment area when I logged on earlier, nor just now. Glad it worked for you.

So Towing TetonX (3500 #) from Ut to TN around UT/ CO/ NM/TX that mileage on our 24 TH (CBI Covert bumper with Warn 10s winch, Falken ATW4 285/70 r17 on Method 703, Prinsu Pro Rack and AluCab Contour Canopy, we got about 11 MPG.. So a 3 gal addtion would be awesome.. Currently carrying 2 - 4 gal Rotopax on trailer and 3 gal Rotopax on truck.. Bigger gas tank would be so much easier.

Appreciate your input. You’re about a year ahead of us, heading down a similar path—which is exciting. The fun part is that, having already built an overlander, we’ve got a strong sense of where we want to take Riddick.

You also answered another question I had in mind. I was already aware of the CBI bumpers and had been leaning toward the Cali Raised option. Unfortunately, theirs isn’t compatible with TH trims. So now I’m circling back to take another look at CBI. I’d been hoping for a bumper with a bit of a ‘chin’—I’m not quite ready for a full front-end overhaul or 'massive' trimming just yet. I’m looking for something that offers some real protection, not just a platform for light bars and a winch that still leaves the front end exposed.
