I had a permanently mounted Jerry can in my D90 and used a "jiggler" (super-syphon) to transfer gas to the main tank. And I used it too many times to remember, as I was forever forgetting to fill my main tank and would run out of gas often. I simply used the Jiggler to transfer the gas in a couple of minutes and was back on the road
You're going to love the upgrade in space over the 90. That long wheelbase might hurt going into some really tight switchbacks, but the increased volume will certainly make up for it. My little 88" with its jump seats flipped up held a lot of gear - adding another 27 inches of wheel base is going to be fantastic.
I hear ya! That being said, I had my D90 fitted out for overlanding and it had everything I could wish for (even had L-tracks fitted for securing cargo: an idea stolen by Sir Jim!
)
It surprises why people don't use them.
I'd never heard of them until this thread. I'm 54 years old. Guess I've led a sheltered life.
I have a set of these from blue ridge overland gear that have held up great for the last 7-8 years. Just pulled them out of the 4runner and they'll be going in the grenadier for sure. If they fit of course.Something like this would be nice/useful: though they have one that fits already… as far as fuel is concerned, I’d prefer if someone would make a secondary switchable tank for the grenadier. I’ve heard that may be difficult due to space limitations.
