Looks like ARB are bringing their own LRT out.

Pajero 2000 - On, listed as a future release.

Interesting - I'll bet that's gonna upset Long Ranger - "Proudly distributed by ARB".

I wonder if the Pajero fitment will be replacement or auxiliary?

[Uncle Fester]

No prices for the Pajero's.

With a wall thickness of 7-9mm, every Frontier long range tank is individually pressure tested and backed by an industry leading three year warranty.


Surely the specs on the wall thickness are wrong big time. Its gonna weight a tonne & half!

They are a plastic type material and meant to be 30 to 50% lighter than steel equivalent. Will be interesting to see the details on the pajero ones. I am guessing replacement for the main tank.

[Aussie_Dan]

These new plastic tanks wilt have everything to do with the fact that ARB now own SmartBar.

[Onslow]

ARB has just purchased the company who manufactures these tanks. I can't remember the name, but they have been manufacturing plastic tanks in Australia for a while.

Coming Soon

Mitsubishi Pajero 2000 on

Will be interesting to see how long it takes to be developed and released

I think it is Autoxtras, ARB is smart, they are thinking about not only about todays but tomorrows market. Historically we can see this by them offering alternatives to the high end branded in accessories and the broadening their manufacturered range into aluminium roof racks and bullbars. The purchase of Smartbar and now possible Autoxtras gives them a more diverse offering and prepares them for the future when steel bulbars will not longer be able to be fitted to 4wds, we can already see this with passenger cars compared with 30 years ago.

cheers, old Jack.

ARB put these on facebook, i asked them about the Pajero one and the reply says it will be a replacement tank???? Wonder how much fuel it will hold?

I wonder the size, coupled with the 60-80 litre aux tanks now could add up to a very handy touring range!

ARB bought Autoxtra poly tanks recently so they've been aborbed into the brand now.

[dwright74]

it would be great if they made one to replace the main tank on the SWB. It's pretty small and I've banged my up a bit.

I don't know much about this material but how reliable would it be compared to a metal tank? Puncture-wise etc.

They made a good point on the facebook page. Slightly more flexible material and a super thick wall 'should' mean more puncture resistant. Similar to airing down tires.
