My local is $1.39.9 and has been for the last 12 months, that QLD I like pink only applies to the South east corner, the Premier thinks that IS QLD.

Well it is the only part of that state that has roads.

There is something to be said to being able to go 1400km without opening the fuel tank 8) .
Hurts when you fill it though 8O

1400 Km's,,,, Thats nothing :!:

My wife has done about 107000 Km's and hasn't opened the fuel tank 8O

I have the Long Ranger tank (unsure if it is 127l or 140l, opinions vary) in my td5 110, with a 70l tank under the driver side floor outside the chassis rail. The Long Ranger wraps around the driver side chassis rail at the rear, but does not rise above the floor level of the body into the arch area.

The only issue I have is that with all tanks full and my big lump on the drivers side, the vehicle now lists to starboard, even bending the top hat retaining the bottom of the front spring.

With regards to the rack, I've shortened mine to the 'B' pillar, as the load on the rack causes lift over corrugations that eventually broke the bolts/studs holding the roof to the 'A' pillar. Only swags go on the roof now.

I did do about 70,000 km travelling up and down the Tanami though, so its had a hard life.

Can definatly recommend the longranger brand i have 155 litres in my disco and it works a treat. Just fill her up and go and go and go and go for what seems like forever then have a heart attack when i fill up again.But for around town i find the top half cheaper to fill in one hit then the whole lot. Give Out of town 4wd a call (02 49 533 288) they manufacture the tanks and also design and make custom tanks.

Just keep filling up the bottom half around town. Less weight to be dragging around.
