Good question. I have a small plastic tool box (maybe 4"x6"x12") that has a 12 vt. shuroflow pump mounted in it with a short length of hose and a quick release. I simply plug in the pump, attach the quick release to the tank and have pressure water. When one tank runs out I move to the next...
Yes. Partially visible on the left (lights can be seen through and to the side of spare and visible on the right. There is also a brake light at the roofline of the Snugtop bed cap which is bright. So far never been an issue.
This vehicle is truly an expedition ready truck. Near perfect condition. 23K factory warranty. No dents, no rust, all systems/additions perfect. Truck was built and used with great care. Never raced or abused. No rock-crawling or high speed off road use. You will be hard pressed to find a...
Original Tank build update
Before I begin my latest update, a continual hats-off to TscotR214 for his patience, great attitude and willingness to share his experiences. I know I, for one, learned a ton from his posts.
Because of the rust diagnosis, I decided to have my tank pulled, cleaned...
Original tank update and other misc. ramblings
Hey Gents, I have been following this thread with great interest. Not only did I build the first tank (or, more correctly, deployed Shane on the project) I live in Bend and have had numerous projects, big and small, done by Shane and his crew...

Seat solution for '09 Tacoma TRD
[ATTACH=CONFIG]150992[/ATTACHI
I found the seats so uncomfortable in my '09 Tacoma that I finally purchased a couple of Recaro seats in matching grey leather. They are heated, air cooled and have lumbar adjustment, adjustable thigh support and a pump-up lower...
Gas tank product
These things of beauty are being produced on special order from Custom Exhaust Specialities (see: http://4customexhaust.com). My tank has completely changed how I travel both on and, especially, off road. I'v had this about 6 months now and it has worked flawlessly. Well...

Not sure what planet you come from, but a shovel, an axe, a tow-strap, a fire-extinguisher and a high lift isn't ******* , it is basic, simple safety and recovery gear for over-landing up here in Oregon. BTW, the "endoskeleton" weighs less than 25 lbs and protects about $4000 worth of RTT and...
I am exploring the re-gearing of my '09 Tacoma. 32" tires, 40 gal fuel tank, front & rear bumpers, steel skid plates, recovery gear, sometimes AT in tow etc. have created a situation where my stock gears just cause too much down-shifting. I know there must be a thread somewhere in the forum (I...
I, too, was concerned about the extra weight on the roof and in particular the lateral forces created when driving aggressively off road. I got a reinforced shell and then built and internal frame that comes off with the shell. It sits on the rails of the truck and is bolted through the roof to...
tank venting
Yes, the high points are all connected with hoses and, as a result, the tank can fill completely. Several thousand miles---some hard offroad---and it is working like a charm. The added capacity is a HUGE benefit. Very happy with the results. One of the best mods I have made, for...
Death Valley test
Just returned from a week long trip to Death Valley. Other than a small hiccup before we left (small amount of gas escaped via vent tube, entered charcoal filter and set off engine warning light---easy fix by installing a longer tube with a loop. No issues on 2K trip to DV and...
