First Transplant Surgery 😂😂

And it is done, long range usa fuel tank install. Mechanic said very straight forward, easier to do on Ineos then it was on my GX470.

Driving down to the keys Saturday. Will put it to test.

I attached finished look with single exhaust change. As well as fuel fill and transfer button.

I received mine but not installed yet. I was thinking about trying to take it to a Long Range America installer, but if you say it was a relatively easy job, I might see if my local guy can do it for me...

This is awesome to hear this. This will be next on my list for modifications.

Are you doing the install yourself, or are you working with an installer?

Noooo nobody wants me to be installing a fuel tank... It's being installed by Apex Overland in Reidsville, NC, they're my go-to for everything

From when I installed my LRA on my 200, it wasn't a difficult install and LRA provided decent instructions and were happy to answer questions. Use a floor jack to lift it into place.

How is the exhaust sound especially on the highway?

Ill find out on saturday. Long drive down to Marathon, and will report back on. Noise and performance (how well it transferred the fuel, filling tank and venting during filling).

Very interested to hear the report!

When I put one on my 200 Land Cruiser, it squeaked whenever the body flexed because the tank was mounted to the frame, but snugged up against the underside of the body.
I dropped it down a bit and inserted little rectangles of HDPE sheet (starboard) between the tank and body.

It has been silent and has worked flawlessly ever since!
Easily one of my favorite mods on the 200.

Hopefully my next addition to the Grenadier!

Just a bit growly-er; biggest difference is high RPM and/or outside the vehicle

Are you doing the install yourself, or are you working with an installer?

For what it's worth, Apex Overland in NC charged 7 hours for the install

About the same for me.

As for exhaust, more throaty and deeper. im curious if it will move the needle on mpg always hopeful

Will report after drive, this weekend. So far in town gas been doing great. No issue. My GX470 tank functions as a overflow until it goes down to 3/4 on aux tank. Then it functions as aux tank.

This one does not do that at all. And fills up all the way easily.

On December 23, 1954, identical twin brothers Ronald and Richard Herrick underwent the first successful human organ transplant when Dr. Joseph Murray and his team performed a kidney transplant in Boston. This achievement led to further study on immunosuppression and earned Murray the Nobel Prize. This was the first successful total organ transplant from one living person to another, setting the stage for contemporary transplant surgery and Before Surgery Wishes and Prayers including Christiaan Barnard's first heart transplant in 1967, notwithstanding earlier skin grafts and experimental techniques.
Important Information on the Initial Transplant
Joseph E. Murray is the surgeon.
Date: 23 December 1954.
Kidney transplantation is the procedure.
Donors and Recipients: Richard and Ronald Herrick, identical twin brothers.
Location: Boston, Massachusetts' Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (now known as Brigham and Women's Hospital).
Significance: Due to the twins' genetic similarity, there was very little rejection, demonstrating the viability of full organ transplantation and igniting studies on immunosuppression for non-identical donors.
Predecessors and Subsequent Developments
Initial Attempts: Thyroid transplants (1883) and skin grafts (19th century) were among the organ transplantation attempts made before to 1954.
Tissue Rejection: Leo Loeb's early research emphasized genetic variations, and Peter Medawar's study on tissue rejection was essential for success.
Beyond Kidneys: The first successful heart transplant took place in 1967, and liver transplants followed in the late 1960s (Thomas Starzl).
Legacy
For his groundbreaking research, Joseph Murray was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1990.
Controlling rejection and extending transplants to a larger variety of organs and patients were made possible by the 1954 transplant.

So is this your New Year’s hope for a v8 transplant for the Grenadier?

Great - just great. Now I have lusted in my heart and have to go to confession. Thanks for nothing.
