GX550 fuel tank in a Land Cruiser

Looks generally doable but probably need more than just the tank and maybe fuel lines. Also side guardss and different hanger by the looks of it. Otherwise pretty similar. Fingers crossed.

Not sure if the side pieces will swap, but I'm pretty sure Eric ordered everything that might be needed as I'm 6 hours away from his shop.

Update: the tank has arrived, just waiting on the fuel lines (that hopefully won't be needed) maybe in the next few weeks, it'll all come together.

The skid plate is also way better on the GX, providing full coverage vs the half skid on the LC. Why Toyota chose to install a half skid is unimaginable.

My bet is in the side plates being required give the different shape of the tank, number of mounting holes, and location of mounting holes being different.

Update, I received a text from Eric (Ed Martin Toyota) All the parts have arrived. With the holidays, it'll be after the new year before I can get up to his shop and do the tank swap. Fingers crossed I don't need all the extra parts. It's getting spendy!

What’s worst case bill for parts, alone?

The tank was $1100 and the other parts may or may not be needed and I can send them back. Once it's completed, I plan on doing a separate post with the part numbers costs etc......

It’s actually an 80 litre main and 30 lire sub tank for their diesel to get to 29 gallons total.
