When are we going to be able to buy additional fuel tank(s) for our under fueld FJ's? There is a ton of room under the rear. Just make sure you leave room for a class 3 trailer hitch we all will be installing so we can winch from the rear w/o worring about bending the frame. I sure do wish Toyota made an aftermarket awsome bumper like the ARB that was all winch ready and made the air bags work right and had cool extra light s and EVERYTHING like ARB is doing. Why do manufactures NOT do this? It slays me the money they leave on the table over this. The rear bumper as well! A winch bumber in the rear as well! I gotta have it all! To date the parts available are shabby. The ARB looks like it was thrown to gether a bit to fast. It needs some refinement in the headlight functionality area it looks like to me. Maybe I am wrong , we shall see, but certainly I will not buy till I see and adress the air bag situtation and the headlight deflection issues. The roof rack, well, I just realized it does not have rails all the way forward on the bottom so were gonna have issues w/ the Hi-Lift Jacks, Shovels, Ramps etc. What to do, what to do... Where are the straps to strap everything down with in the cargo areas?

Just been under my One day old FJ, FJ = Prado chassi Prado has 2 tanks! i am going to get a prado tank and see if it fits, the plumbing should be the same, just a question of electronics, pump and gauge, spoke to a local scrap yard, they have told me they have plenty og 2007 prados in, and all the fitting will come from a Prado write off! Toyota we will wait for for ever to get what my wife has on her 2007 Aug Prado VX (Middle east edition) now!

I'm going to be talking to a couple of Al Futtaim Service Managers tonight about the same thing. They are both keen off roaders, and are Fun Drive marshals. I'm hoping that I can get them interested in looking at a dealer fitted system using the Prado tank. Only problem that I can see is filling 2 tanks from one filler hole.
Edited to add that they showed some interest and while they probably can't do the full install at the A-F workshops (corporate responsibility, etc.), might be able to try the fit so I can get the actual work done by Icon.
