Hey all.
Was having a read through alot of my 4wd Action mags and found a pretty sweet article on a DIY water tank. It mounted under the car, and looks quite easy to do.
For anyone interested its in mag no: 159
I think im going to give it a go, but with diesel gas tank aswell im not sure if i will have the room.
have you got a pic Leigh? I dont subscribe mate and i'd be interested in seeing what they did??
See if you can find a pic on the net and post it up mate.
Cheers MR

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.Originally Posted by Rogue Dung Beetle

Hey lads.
cant fin any links on the net at all.
But in short its a PVC pipe. Like the ones tradies use to store pipe and long lengths of steel and things.
Its cut to length to what you need. Siliconed 2 ends to it, and from there is a few retic and tap fittings with a bit of hose. whatever you want really.
Then a sheet metal protection made to fit over it.
i took a couple of photos of the bigger pictures in the mag so you can get a rough idea.

cheers mate, looks like an interesting idea considering how much water tanks actually cost
Very good idea. Thanks for posting. Can you tell us what is holding it in place: steel strapping, aluminum strap, or steel cradle, etc?
With that PVC tubing mate you can get steel bracing to suit all the different sizes of pipe
