Where's your cell going? As much as it was tongue in cheek mentioning Kibbe, he puts out a clean fuel cell cradle for behind the axle under a spare.

Hit up Galtan Haddon on Instagram. He’s got all the fuel safe enduro cell sizes and he can make you a custom mount. No one really sells or puts a lot of info on the 50 gallons. Mostly just build cages and tab off it around those. But Gatlan can get you set up

 

Yeah I had seen a lot of really complex nice looking Chevy cells but not a lot from any other trucks and I chocked it up to Chevy nerds having more money to do prerunner builds like the kibbe references made.

mine will be against the back of the cab and hopefully a truck of decent sizing behind it

 

JD Fab has a Taco fuel cell kit coming out, cool thing is that you can buy just the metal shell to use as a storage compartment under / through the bed floor or drop the cell into it : https://jdfabrication.com/collections/05-15-6-lug/products/tacoma-rear-gastank-kit

 

25 or 31 gal

mine is 50 gal
And the trunk will be part of the back half like Ramsey’s GM prerunner
No bed remaining

 

Ah yeah if your back halving the truck you don't need a kit for an OE frame. I think Solo's Taco fuel cell is 40 or 50

 

50 gallons isn't overkill if you're only getting 5 mpg on dirt 5 x 50 is still only a 250 mile range

 

Yeah that’s why I was window shopping chevys
Cause
A lot more 50 gal or larger cells directly against the cab

 

50 gallon fuel safe race cell with mats

but
Ya know
Mileage matters
So
If you only wanna go 20-30 gallon trips
Enjoy


Also trunk has to be large enough to fit a folded wheel chair
And medical triage bags

 

Just buy this and be done

Not sure the point such a long range. My bladder needs to stop sooner, my buddies will all need to stop for gas sooner, you're still going to get gas at every station in Baja (it's a rule).

 

" My bladder needs to stop sooner " - drink less cerveza while driving

" my buddies will all need to stop for gas sooner " - second place is the first loser

" you're still going to get gas at every station in Baja " - in some areas the fewer stops the better

 

This is the sort of thing my GF says to me

 

um...fkn marry that one now !

 

If your gf is telling you to buy that truck and you don’t listen. You’re the problem haha

 

Eh go double or nothing and see if she's a real keeper

Now if only I was in the financial bracket to afford a 200k truck all at once

edit: if I’d stop getting trigger happy and buying parts that end up not playing nice with the overall build
I’d have more money for the right parts to finish things

 

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3: regularly schedule Taco upgrade project

 

only peasants run iron blocks...
