I've been a busy guy... I'm in the process of doing a write up for THIS
Yes folks, the shower is DONE!!!
Now for those of you that are just too impatient... here are some more photos. I opted not to do the tank under the truck yet. I've had a custom one designed, and I'm waiting for it to be built. However, it will be a while.... so in the meantime...
Water inlet
Mounted
Shower Side.
No shower head attached.
I was going to use a thermostatic mixing valve, but there really is no need. It's simple to spray the ground for a second first.

So I my "custom" tank for the shower came in today.... sorta.
Apparently the tank builder can't read dimensions or can't measure... not sure which. It was WAYYYYYYYYY off. So, I went the next best route and used one of his "standard" tanks. 9 gallons of water is now happily under my 4runner. Not to mention I got to use the welder, which is always a fun time.
New tank!!
It's got holes!
Flux core sucks.... But the welds are good!! **Initiate happy dance**
I don't have a good photo after it was painted, I wanted it on the truck.
Mounted... sort of... it needed the other 2 bolts.
I used the stock spare tire steel for the upper mounts. They are plenty strong, and the tank weighs 72lbs full.
Green is FILL, Red is PUMP, and in the back you can see 2 clear lines, one is the tank vent and one is my rear diff vent.
Fillin'er up.
Modified a hose with a 3/8" male air hose connector.
The Female side. This is when not filling.

This project is giving me shower envy haha. Do you have any pictures of the truck from the back to see the rear departure angle? The tank looks like its hanging pretty low and in possible harms way.
