I am booked in for November at LRA.
I contacted them about the tank about six weeks ago.

Sorry to hear that. If the Brown Davis was only for JKs, surely they should have known better than to book in a JL.

I guess COVID-19 is impacting LRA’s manufacturing, but on the other hand, our lockdowns are negating the ability for any long range driving for now.
Yeah it was very strange of BD to send a tank that was never going to fit. I live in the northen 1/2 of the county that hasnt had a lockdown since early last year. Tank is definitely needed as my work commute is further then the fuel range of the JL.

Ah, you are one of the lucky ones! We have had lockdowns, protests and, today, earthquakes down in Victoria.

Hopefully you will get your tank soon. The Long Ranger, based in Sydney, is another brand you might want to check out. They have a confusingly similar name to LRA but that’s the brand ARB stocks and I am certain they have a model for the JL. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have production delays too.

I put an order in for a long ranger, I was told 14 weeks from time of order is the wait.

My last 3 cars had LRA tanks without issue, only wanted the
BD due to the extra capacity. I won’t buy anything from ARB
due to past experience.

I had my LRA tank installed today.
Very satisfied with the tank, the installation, the friendly staff.
It looks pretty well done.

Also it is clear how the thing works, I was reading conflicting infos before on the net.
In a nutshell, at the petrol station the main tank gets filled and when it is full the aux tank will be filled. The car fuel gauge works as before, shows the fuel in the main tank. The additional gauge installed wth the LRA tank shows the fuel in the aux tank (3 leds). When aux button is pressed the fuel gets pumped from the aux tank into the main one.

in QLD it’s a blue plate. The installer sorted mine out
That sounds nice...
After I found it, I asked staff in ARB, they told me its grey area, just hope police won't treat you seriously.

I have fitted auxiliary tanks or bigger replacement tanks to my last 4 cars and never had an issue until moving to QLD, the blue plate process is pretty easy however I wouldn’t bother if I lived in any other state.

looks like LRA no longer has the HD version.
