Designed, manufactured, and tested 100% in Colorado, this system has been beaten, bashed, and driven regularly between 5,000 and 13,000 feet of elevation without failure. The lightweight, high-clearance aluminum tank tucks neatly above the bumper line, staying almost completely invisible while keeping your KDSS, factory air ride suspension, and Class 4 receiver hitch fully intact.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Filling is seamless - the auxiliary tank connects through your factory filler neck and fills simultaneously alongside your main tank, so there's no extra steps at the pump. A programmable fuel transfer switch, fuel level gauge, quality fuel pump, and stainless steel fuel level sender are all included, giving you complete control over your extended range. This is a no-compromises solution for serious off-road and long-distance driving.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18-Gallon Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds significant fuel range, ideal for remote overland routes and long highway stretches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/8\" 5052 Aluminum Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thicker-gauge aluminum with superior corrosion resistance for long-lasting durability in harsh conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% USA Designed and Built:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed, manufactured, and tested in Colorado - built to meet the demands of real-world off-road and overland use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Split Fill Point:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fills through your factory filler neck - both tanks fill simultaneously with no extra steps or separate fill points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreserves KDSS, Factory Air Ride, and Class 4 Hitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installs without removing or modifying your factory suspension systems or receiver hitch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Clearance, Low-Profile Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tucks above the bumper line and stays virtually invisible - no sacrifice to approach angle or aesthetics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide-Corner Fuel Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows \"filling a friend\" scenarios directly from the auxiliary tank when needed in the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduced Leak Paths:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simplified design eliminates unnecessary complexity and hosing to minimize potential leak points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeeps Factory Evap Systems Intact:\u003c\/strong\u003e All factory evaporative emissions systems remain in place - no compliance issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelocates Spare Tire:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes - spare tire relocation is part of the install design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for a delivery ETA or to confirm shipping details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-gallon aluminum auxiliary fuel tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgrammable fuel transfer switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFuel level gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuality fuel pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel fuel level sender\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBung\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Helivue Design built this system for people who actually use their rigs - not just on weekends, but on demanding multi-day overland trips and long daily commutes where running low on fuel isn't an option. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the thicker 1\/8\" aluminum walls to the simplified hosing layout that reduces failure points before they become a problem. It's trusted by overlanders who push their GX470s hard across Colorado's high-altitude terrain, and that real-world testing means you can count on it when it matters most. The fact that it preserves every major factory system - KDSS, air ride, receiver hitch, and evap - makes this one of the most thoughtful auxiliary tank solutions on the market. With an estimated 5-hour install time and everything included in the kit, you'll be on the road with extended range sooner than you'd expect. Made in the USA, engineered for the long haul.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTank Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAuxiliary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 Gallons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 Pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/8\" 5052 Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFill Point\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM Split\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFuel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRelocate Spare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended Install Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2003-2009 Lexus GX470, 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner (4th Gen)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufactured In\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA (Colorado)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this tank work with my GX470's KDSS and factory air ride suspension?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes - this is one of the standout features of the Helivue Design system.
