My memory is a little hazy on this, but if I recall correctly, the Brown Davis "high capacity" long range tank actually requires the RRC to have the LRA 50mm body lift for it to correctly fit.
There is a 'regular' version from what I remember and both did fit in with the ARB rear bar in situ. However...
It would be a brave man that attempts to undertake the fitment of these alone (get a mate to help or risk being crushed by the weight) AND -
absolutely remove the ARB rear bar before removing the original tank and refitting the BD one. or better still, get someone else to do it for you, if you can trust anyone to do it properly....
I think the reason the auxillary sill tanks were so prevalent for this model stem from the fact that unless the body is lifted off the chassis rails, there is stuff-all possibility of upgrading the capacity of the fuel tank in the factory location to an amount that is justifiable for the cost of the replacement tank.
I also thought that the extra capacity tank was 135 litres? I may be wrong.
Roads?.. Where we're going, we don't need roads...
