Water tank between the framerails on a JKU?

[Dan Grec]

Has anyone ever seen a drinking water tank mounted under a JKU, between the frame rails, on the opposite side to the stock gas tank between the exhaust and drive shaft?

I'll relocate the evap canister, which gives a lot of space.

Obviously I'll put a stout skid plate on it, similar to the stock gas tank.

Front runner has a 60L (15.9Gal) tank that I think would just fit, though it will hang down below the frame rails.

Ideally, a tank would be a little shorter - only 7" high or so. If it were something around 35"x12"x7" it would be ~12.7gal (~50L)

Has anyone seen this done, have pics, or suggestions for a tank?

Thanks,
-Dan

I relocated the Evap canister using the Nemesis kit. Very easy to do with the axle at full droop (no shocks). Took about 30 minutes to make the mod.
If you end up doing a water tank in this area, I'd be interested. I was thinking about splitting the area into a water/air tank.

Yes, exactly. I was going to say "just like the LongRanger aux gas tank"

GenRight may have something, or may be willing to build something. They do beautiful work. If they combined it with their own version of the Evap relocation kit, they might move quite a few.

Yea, as Jeep or Tacoma said, you can use the stock bumper and get quite a bit of water, but I wouldn't use it for drinking water. You can seal up the few holes on the bottom of the stock plastic bumper and then plumb a 12v water pump.

Thanks for the info. I won't be running the stock rear bumper, I need a lot more than it can hold and it must be drinking water.

For all of those reasons, I've decided that mounting a "real" water tank is the way to go.
