    It's around 60 gallons, but on the plus side I'm running the stock fuel pump and sending unit so wiring everything up is a snap.

    It's worth mentioning that having the custom bladder made for inside this thing cost more than buying a complete off-the-shelf race-legal fuel cell with pump and sending unit.

    Custom = $$$$, so try to make the readily available stuff work first.

    Just the side vents. A/C still works fine.

    O. so what degree is the stock shock location? I thought it was like 35*. :confused: The reason I am asking is because I am going to be relocating my shocks.

    I love how the LT BS thread has become the ask any question here thread...not singling anyone in particular out...


    Thread title: Long Travel BS Thread

    Step one. Do I have LT? Nope. Move on. Ask question in appropriate arena.

    Step Two. Troll the LT section if you are just kidding yourself and will never be LT.

    People ask because here because we know a lot of things most truck owners don't because of LT. Suspension geometry, custom fab, wiring, steering, etc. all are things we all have to deal with.

    Not at speed. Only during some sketchy rock crawling.

    I needed the cage to race. This is my favorite mod:

    ...too much shit to list.
    That and the first and second gen section are typically full of shit threads. Not to mention legitimate threads are generally followed by retard responses and asshattery.

    Damn it typing long responses on the phone always ends up making me look retarded. Did not mean to have "because" twice
