Yeah mate, Thats what i normally do. Only issue is that because they are so easy to just fill a hole in your pickup, they are always a pain for me to get out when i need them.

So for my setup, a soft hose through the back wall to a tap will be easiest for me.

Hey guys I know I got a 15+ but I have done this. Atleast similar.

So I have a 80L bladder behind my rear seat. It literally just hangs/sits on the floor. Nothing too special but it does work when required. You could certainly do something similar for sure.
In fact 5-15 is probably easier (due to folding seat mod)

Only pic is of it out of the car when I was leak testing it. But gives you an idea. It’s literally just zip tied on. As the weight sits on the floor

As for brand I can’t remember. All I did was google water bladders and I think Hilux. Found a place in Vic somewhere.

Boats use them all the time for fuel and water. Check out marine supplies and boat Chandler's for fuel and water bladders.
Cheers Gipsy :D although I'm sure somebody will challenge that :lol: even Einstein wasn't certain of his theories.

On you hiluxxury -> KISS - keep it simple son :)

I bought water pipe lengths, so no 'green stuff' growing inside from sun, made up exactly the shape I needed added a couple of taps and I have had the water sitting in this setup for years and can and have drunk it when I'm out and about with my detecting mates, who have drunk it as well and no one has every told me they got sick from drinking water thats 'years old' !!!

Yeah righto, Thanks for that.

I have measured and found a tank that will most likely fit, i just need to make some metal straps to lock it into place. There is some mounting holes on the back wall that I will use. I'll buy it and strap it in and see how i go. haha

Thanks all
