On board water solutions

Agreed, except ours is hard plastic, holds 40 litres ( Hilux Dual Cab ) and works well.

79 ltr Bladder (Opposite Lock)on floor behind front seats. Fill or drain tubes both ends.

Just a thought, are these bolted down? Be very dangerous in an accident.

Great Ideas here thanks

I have a 90 series prado with a black widow tourer drawer system. Between the drawers and the second row of seats I have the dolium 50l vertical cut-out water tank. It is a very tight fit. The fixed decking over the wheel arches is just large enough to fit a 20 litre plastic jerry can on each side of the drawers. I currently use the hose fitted to the tank for gravity feed out the rear passenger door, but I am looking at setting up an electric pump and tap to the rear of the drawers by the fridge. Having separate containers means I can carry water of different qualities for different purposes if needed, eg poor quality water for washing, good quality fro drinking and cooking.

That looks like a pretty good idea. Also looks like a pretty fiddly job to get the dimensions right. How much water does it hold and can you give an estimate of cost?

Chisel,
I am was able to draw the dimensions and give them to LongRanger in Melbourne. They had a 'full height cargo barrier' water tank available, I just had to advise to make adjustments to allow for brackets at the back to fit the draw system and also a cut out to handle the barrier holder. It was actually simple for me as all I had to do was put it in and adjust the draw system to get it installed.

I think it was around $400, so not the cheapest but I have used it for 8 years and never had a single problem, carries around 70l.

$400 seems like an very, very good price for a 70L custom stainless tank.

Yeah maybe but it was a number of years ago and I really cannot remember 100% - I suspect it could/would be more now but how much I do not really know.
