I would definitely reenforce the frame. That’s a lot of weight behind the axle.

I was one of the first to get a LRA auxiliary fuel tank for the Gladiator and overall I’ve been happy with it. I’ve done many long and remote trips with it and I believe they have made some improvements to the design as well.

i have seen those however for 2700 to only get 17 more gallons is beyond a no go for me when for that cost or possibly even less get 32 where the spare tire goes.

To each their own. For me I didn’t want to have all that weight behind the wheels and there’s a lot more to it as far as wiring and plumbing is concerned.

do you have an install thread or any more info on the install and use of your tank system?

does that tank not work for diesel as well as gas?

No. The diesel tank is on the opposite side from the gasser.

I wonder if you could take a OEM gasser tank and install it on diesel..... The frame should be the same and have provisions for a mounting....

The exhaust system will be the big challenge.... Maybe go with Stacks to fix that issue...

i was talking about a OEM Gasser tank. The aftermarket tank won't work cause it would go where the diesel tank it.

these are rated to tow 7k on a bumper hitch plus bed payload rating and then there is already a spare tire in there. 32 gallons of fuel is 225lb then maybe another 50 of tank/skid on top of that so i wouldn't worry about it at all

Has rock kralwer released their aux tank/fuel cell? It's been indev for a couple years now I think?

edit: looks like they have - https://rockkrawler.com/rock-krawle...er-long-arm-suspension-for-jeep-gladiator-jt/


Probably have to call them but I wonder what the cost is on the just fuel cell and cage/mount.

I have seen these installed, do not run one. Only on a gasser.
You say use it as an Aux tank. This you can do. You still need to get the actual tank to go in this cradle. EVO list the manufacturers that it will fit. Probably better to make your own tank for Aux tank use.
Aero tanks in Riverside, CA will make anything you want. I’m sure there is many others.
The OEM setup from filler to tank is 1 1/2”. You intercept this with 1 1/2” fuel hose. Filler to top of Aux tank plus hose from bottom of Aux to OEM tank. Gravity feed the OEM tank.
You will also need to add a 3/4 vent fuel hose from top of Aux tank into OEM breather located near the factory fill location. Behind fender liner. Depending on how you off road, you might need to raise the breather location. If the fuel level is above the breather, fuel, not air will come out. You could also add a second breather for the Aux tank
The key for ease of installation is to lay out the 2-1 1/2” and 3/4” nipples in an easy place on the aux tank to run the added hoses.
Finding a complete kit is not easy. DOT requires fuel tanks to be between the frame rails and axles on all passenger vehicles ’06 and up. Gassers have the additional problem of fuel tanks being part of the emissions system.
Including a pic of my Aux tank. Same as described with added fuel filter in Aux tank. In the bed.
Hope this helps.
