    I scored an Amana freezer, an LG portable air-conditioner, portable gas water heater, and this heavy tank of unknown origin...

    That’s a nice truck.

    If I hit the lottery, I would love to redo my truck as a regular cab X-Runner; I would buy a totaled X-Runner at an insurance auction and put the drivetrain, suspension, etc in my truck. I would then sell all the parts I don't need from both my truck and the donor truck and pocket the cash!

    I like it! I dont think thats ever been done before and would love to see it. Iv seen plenty of people put the X-Runner body kit on a single cab truck but no one has ever done the full drivetrain swap. That would be rad

    It's got a new frame paid for by Toyota, and a clean title. Really all I would have to do is swap the drivetrain, ECU, and suspension; I can drive stick, but I might make it a 5-speed automatic since my truck is already an automatic.

    Does anybody have any idea what this mysterious cylindrical tank could be? It VERY heavy and obviously metal, but a magnet will not stick to it; I am going to be scrapping it in about an hour...

    That would explain why you got so much for it?

    I find it rather therapeutic to disembowel air-conditioners... :D
