Thank you for all the input! As for leaving the pump on, I planned on the switch being lit with an obnoxiously bright LED (perhaps deep blue or purple) so it'd be hard to forget it's on, but I didn't think of a timer. I'll look into that. The back seats sit on a raised floor. The tank would...

1987 Isuzu Trooper 4x4. My range is about 200 miles with the stock tank (16 gal). Getting about 15mpg highway, 10 city. Isuzu left a gaping cavity beneath the back seats, boxed in by the drive shaft, rear axle, and carrier-bearing crossmember. Measurement show I could fit a (roughly) 9" tall...

Great tip! Thanks - I've heard the trails are pretty dang rough in the SP, and I'm a novice wheeler. Are there plenty of trails that are suitable for a stock-height 4x4 like mine in there? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Hello all, I've got a 1987 Isuzu Trooper II 4x4. It has a 2.3L 4cyl, so it's underpowered for a large SUV. I welded up a steel roof basket mounted by Highland gutter mounts, it weighs about 90lbs empty. The end goal is to put a roof tent up there (Tepui Ayer). My girlfriend and I didn't find...

Thanks! Glad to be here.
