Hey guys.just got myself a 98 troopy and looking for a underbody poly water tank that goes right up the back of the troopy.
Saw one on another troopy with the right shape to fit but they bought the car like that and no idea where it came from. Only one I've find that's actually suited to the car is a longer ranger one that's $1500, needing something a bit cheaper. Seen some other posts on here but nothing to clear.
Any advice would help Cheers

60 Litre Water tank. Internal but cheaper than $1500!

Check out Enmach Industries website here.

They also have an eBay site called Ballistic4x4. Make a variety of shapes & sizes, for both water & diesel.

Have you given any thought as to how you are going to get the water out? If its just going to be gravity fed then that means the tap will be lower than the tank or near enough and the tap will always be covered in dust and/or mud... no thanks.

Jkempy.
May I suggest, if you fit the tank and the water is valuable/,precious in many cases, you fit a switch controlled 12v solenoid between the tap and tank. A simple switch on, either momentary, is, held on by hand, switch will prevent total loss of water. Just an insurance policy.
