    Yea plastic is fine too. You could get creative and build a small raised platform over the tank that would be somewhere underneath.

    Seen a guy here in town that has a length of 4 or 6in pvc bolted to the side of his rack like your roto's capped at both ends one having an air chuck to pressurize and the other end has a spigot, he says it holds like 7 or 8 gal.

    It was entertaining to watch!

    One thought on water tanks would be scoping out something from Class A Customs that could fit under the bed/along the bed rail. I’ve bought tanks for my trailer from them and they are good people to buy from. They’ll even do custom stuff if you can’t find a size/shape you like. They cater to the DIY van lifer as much as the camper builder so they stock tanks that fit over wheel wells too.

    well I ended up cutting my fog light housings so they'd fit. Alpharex never got back to me after two days which I think that's there way of telling me to f off. Got them in today in my auto tech class I put a crappy snap chat picture blow. I will need to wire the harness tomorrow or sometime this weekend. I kinda got stumped there was this "position light" wire thing which I don't entirely know what that is but from the light research I did I need to wire that to a fuse that is only powered when the ignition is on. Side note my fog lights are slightly tilted upwards on the center side which I dont think should be to huge of a deal. Wish alpharex did a better job telling me they were in the wrong. Oh well another mod checked off the list.

    I don't think those fender flares are original. I think the fender flares were only included on the GT-S trim. But, I could be wrong. I'm trying not to Google things.

    Awesome vehicle, though!

    Edit: mega nerd Google update:

    Early '82 was the last of the carbureted 22R for the Celica. The GT-S came in August of '82 and included fender flares, but also coincided with the introduction of the EFI 22R-E. So, those fender flares are, in fact, not OEM! :bananadance:

    I obviously didn't know all of this. But, I knew the fender flares didn't belong, so that's worth like half credit, right?

    I'd still love to have that thing, though!
