Default Long range gas tank for 3 door Rubi?

Has anyone put in a long range gas tank into a 3 door rubi? I have done a search and come up with nothing . I need the range for long trips and do not want to use extra Jerry cans if I can.
Thax

Yes that's it 2 doors + one at the back = 3 doors. OK so it's a 2 door if you like.

Yeah, I thought Jeep made a 2 door and 4 door, now I've learned that I own a 5 door.......AWESOME! I got a free door!



Oh yeah, back to the real question, I personally haven't seen any larger fuel tank for athe JK yet, maybe someone will offer something one day, but you'd probably have to have one custom made for now.

Thank you Mike
I did get your PM and will mail them as soon as I can. Some of the chaps down here do make good long range tanks but would like to know if anyone in the US or AUS have had any experience with off the shelf made ones.

As for the doors, it may just be a local cultural thing but we do refer to the number of doors a vehicles has even if they are rear doors. This could be because we do have a lot of double cab picks up ( 4 doors) in South Africa.
Apologies for any confusion, I should have said short wheel base.

Any more on long range tanks ,anyone?

I was just picking at you. I knew you were referring to the tailgate. Welcome to the forum by the way and good luck on the bigger tank.
