i've been using same system for while. I've two main issues. First, tank doesn't have breather if you don't open the lit to let the air in, it kind of bending inwards till runs out of air and stops working. Second, tank is kind of like n shape and tap is at one leg. So u can only use 2/3 of the tank. my next setup i'll change it with water bladders.
They must've updated the design as mine has threaded taps at both sides, but yes, a breather would be nice. I considered water bladder, but i wouldn't be able to secure it very well, and you can't place things on top Thanks for the comment!
Drill a hole in the tank lid, add a barbed connection, use food grade silicone to secure it, add a hose with suitable length and secure the end to a location which is higher. Extremely low risk of any water run off unless you flip the car, in which case you'll have worst things to worry about than wet carpet ;) Thanks for sharing. Cheers
loving the channel, partly because you are basically doing the same mods as me in the same car :D really hoping you swap out the side mirrors for 80 series towing ones before I have to figure it out lol
Its a 40L tank i got from outback equipment www.outbackequipment.com.au/poly-footwell-water-tank-40-litre?srsltid=AfmBOorV3wFA8E8p5vMCT0UPtX4bdNXIDqaKGYI-LO2tk6FUt8Sp6v-0eaM

solid plan, lid breather would be the go.

Awesome system 👍👍👍
Onboard water storage? That's a bladder mate. Prado now has aftermarket pissing capabilities, choice mod cobs👍
