No mention of Open Andro maps with the Elevate theme for BCN? While not super crazy for detail, I have every state West of the Mississippi loaded on my Android cell phone at all times. I greatly appreciate being able to load entire States at a time, but it does come at the expense of detail...

Thought of another issue. I have 3 x 100W solar panels mounted above my shell. Anyone mount solar on the habitat yet? Thinking of that hinge point and trying to run my perimeter camera cables, water tank heaters, solar feed wires, comms antenna cables, etc etc. Lots of wires need to go to the...

Greetings! Anyone have feedback on snow camping? Specifically, packing the habitat away in the morning while everything is either still frozen or actively still snowing? How do they handle snow loads? I currently have a DCSB with Snugtop and a DAC truck tent for tailgate down, window lift up...

3M goes on the inside of the glass, not the outside, so wipers are not an issue. That said, my dogs occasionally scratch at the glass in excitement, but I have yet to see any damage to the film.

I've been running Llumar safety and security tint on my Tacoma for years and years, first an '07 and now my '15. I am interested in both security and UV blockage, so I treat every piece of glass on the entire truck and rear shell. My Taco comes with rear side and very back factory tinted (double...

Both tanks are steel construction. CES is steel tank, featuring internal "radiator type" coating to prevent rust, and external powder coating paint. Proven tank is also steel, featuring aluminized coating inside and out (similar to galvanized steel coatings which typically use zinc, aluminized...

Good inquiry. Both tanks, the CES and the Proven, have solved any emission engine light issues. Both are quite vacuum tight. The CES tank uses a cork gasket under compression to seal the fuel pump assy into place (I had to add aviation gasket sealer to ensure no CEL issues). The Proven...

Google for links and phone numbers, Custom Exhaust Specialties Bend Oregon, talk to Shane, and Outback Proven Las Vegas Nevada, talk to Ben. Shane hand builds in his own (really nice) shop, while Ben imports from Long Range Automotive in Australia. Proven tank is less expensive, mass produced...

To beat a dead horse on an old thread, and in response to several PM inquiries, I need to update my CES experience. The CES tank hangs from straps and evidently can freely move, enough to get hung up on the rear axle and drive shaft. Tank punctured on trip in desert, spent two days trailside...

Update on post-mortem of my fuel pump in CES tank: kind of a no-brainer given the internal inspection and my posted photos, but issue was indeed confirmed by Shane to be simple rust. Pump itself is fine, but filter is completely stuffed with rust. Allowed truck to start and idle, but any...

yeah, well, uh..... ******** droop for sure on this one. head hanging in shame. yes dad, we may have messed up.... seemed like a great idea at the time? Johnny got one, I thought it was ok if I got one too? But he jumped off the bridge first, I thought it was safe? While not at all wanting to...

Hey Steve, before you install that OZ tank bring it over to my house so we can get side-by-side photos of the OZ tank next to the CES tank for comparison and posting here. I think it would really be valuable for others to see, and after install I'll snap a shot of your stock tank and photoshop...

sctracker, now THAT'S pretty cool! The CES tanks have three front-to-back baffles, but no side-to-side baffles, and probably the baffling wasn't my issue (as originally thought) once I saw the rust damage. You actually couldn't add the baffling material you linked to inside the CES tank as the...

My last conversation with Shane CES was that he wanted the old fuel pump to tear apart before we went any further. He did, however, coat the inside of his last fuel tank with some mystery stuff his radiator shop buddies recommended, but that tank, lessee, has probably been driving on the roads...

My stock tank "appears" to be made of 100% plastic, like roto-moulded kayaks and such. Sure doesn't seem metallic in any way, not even plastic coated aluminum or anything like that. Scratches like plastic. Didn't dent with a hammer (yeah, I went there. under truck beating on gas tank with a...

Just occured to me that not many pictures posted here of the actual tank. Adding some here:

Update 04/15/13: RRRRRRRRRR UUUUUUUUUU SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS T. Lots of rust. Rust everywhere. See attached photos. First few are of factory filter attached to bottom of fuel pump and rust in bottom of factory fuel pump sump (all that red stuff stuck to all the white plastic stuff). Next few...

Good questions. I just googled for OZ tank info, got this back. Manufacturer is http://thelongranger.com.au/4wdfueltanks.html. Only info for Toyota is for the Hilux, their version of our Tacoma's, and FAQ page wasn't working, but here's the pdf brochure link for the Hilux...

Friday update: So here's some news from the TRD race folks, confirmed with my local gas supplier, my experiences with my own charter vessel (dive boat), and confirmed in my drink with ice cubes I'm crying in now. Gasoline, straight petroleum gasoline, is hydrophobic (hates water) and does not...

Wednesday update: After multiple phone calls to Shane at CES and Ken at TRD (the actual in-the-dirt racing section of Toyota Racing Development), the verdict on the factory Toyota fuel pump is this: as long as the fuel pump is pumping fuel, any fuel, the internal flow of fuel through the pump...
