This guy on lcool has a long ranger for a 79 series for sale. Will that fit yours?

I have for sale on used TA-40T Long ranger branded 3rd tank for a 79 series ute. It is around 90 lt capacity. This goes in-between both tanks and has all mounting hardware/fuel lines etc. Not using anymore as I needed the space for an air tank. It came off a 2004 HZJ79 ute. I have the original instruction / installation manual. I have photos if anyone wants them just send me a message or email.
I can send the original manual if anyone wants to have a look where it mounts etc.

Saw a patrol with 8 Gerry cans across the back of his roof rack today here in Alice.

Hmm 8 x 20 odd kg = 160kg's on the roof,

No, just had a look at their website and suitable for 75/79 series not 76. Thanks for the tip.

And that was just the fuel across the back of the rack. Heaps of other stuff up there too.

I'd hate to think what weight some carry up top.
A lot worry about what they tow or what they put in the back, I don't think they worry about what their roof system can carry or what the legal weight that is allowed on the roof rack/ gutters.

The roof rack that was fitted to my rig when I brought it weighed 120kg...I didn't know the weight til four years later when I upgraded it. For my Simpson trip I estimated I had 220kg up top once I discovered how heavy the rack was.

A good percentage of rigs doing extended touring would be very close to there GVM or over GVM.

Thats probably what I had on my rack when we went across the GRR. Gas bottles, spare tyre with wheel, wind deflector, RTT + bits and bobs. When we went to bed you added another 150kgs.

[SteveandViv]

I chose that one as it wasnt a bad shape, there is also the 100 litre version or 50 litre

Saves me carrying three jerries on the camper

I think they are more designed for Utes at stations and stuff. While I' not so concerned about the weight I like the fact my long range is tucked up nicely under the car.

Can't argue with that. But Steve you do alot of travel where as I don't. Lucky to do a big trip once every two years. Last year was Darwin and this year is Europe and next year maybe The Gulf and GRR. So every two years.

Most fourbies are only rated to 100kg on the roof. It's ironic, when some of the steel roof racks are 70 odd kilos. I wouldn't ever put more than 100kg on the roof - especially when its in a tank and can slosh from side to side. Seriously dangerous stuff. Get an under body one, for sure

I was thinking of putting a tank on the roof but was convinced that an alloy rack and jerry cans was a better alternative because
1. They wont slosh
2. They are cheaper

I like the 10lt ones as they are much lighter and have a lower profile (unless you can lie the 20 lt ones flat)

Hey Wayne,

Gotta agree, not on the roof.

How about this - http://www.lcool.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35055&highlight=

I don't really see the problem of putting it on the roof provided you have a roof rated ok.  Having said that, I'd probably suggest a couple of jerries inside a jerry can holder up there instead.  Would 40L be enough?  Could go to 3 without too much drama or overloading.

100 series cruisers (and 200?) are rated for 200kg up there.  I've regularly had 100+ up there without drama - but well spread and well secured. Anyone with a full steel rack and some gear is probably at 100+.
