Default Longranger

Just had a Longranger heavy duty fuel tank fitted to my 2013 JKUR. With the AEV 2.5" lift it was always a bit bouncy in the back end & had to correct for every bump. With 2 people in the car it was fine and soaked up the bumps.

On the drive home with full tanks and just me in the car it felt awesome.

I normally get 400 plus out of a tank. I wonder what the range will be now.

Hey blackzook,

I'm looking at changing my tank down the track, still happy with yours?
Price? Litres?

After I fitted a LR tank (60 litres) to my 07 JKURubi I was able to get 700k out of both at highway speed (100k/hr). When travelling through desert etc at lower speeds, despite higher revs, extra weight and height etc I could extend this to 800km.

How do the long ranger tanks go when the tracks get rough? Can they take a beating from rocks etc?
They seem to hang a little lower than I'd like... but the extra fuel capacity is something Im looking at for the future.

I got the tank with 3mm steel base. No dents so far and it has done a fair bit of heavy rock work.
