Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

why not throw the spare tire in the bed and rin a 5 gal tank in the stock spare location?

 

6 people including myself that I pack for when traveling. I'm a family man. Kids like to hang in the bed while on the road.

 

treadwright made a new . making my decision hard

 

Is that what you call it now

 

to them yes, looks like km1 to me

 

It went over your head.


I saw the design the other day looked good thonk it was called the tigerclaw or some shit like that

 

These may fit under the bed, in the void on the bed sides? In the frame rails?

1-GALLON ALUMINUM TANK WITH 4 PORTS-BLACK WITH DRAIN PORT

Approximately 3.5” x 15.5” with (2) 1/4” PORTS AND (2) 1/2" PORTS

Or the 2 Gallon tank which is quite long, not sure where you could fit this.

Those look nice. Next thing I need to consider is when I go through security check points. The other day, they saw my digital battery terminal, and the winch solenoid box and got all ancy. Once they saw all the recovery equipment in the bed. Kinda smothed it over, but they still made me go to secondary where the dogs were. Can only imagine the reaction with a slimline tank when they mirror the underside and see all the lines running from it.

 

You have links to the product pages? Mobile and cant peak yet.

I'd imagine the check point could suspect something fishy is going on. I used to have a S10 on air ride suspension and the cops accused me once of having a Nitrous tank in the bed....a 12 gallon nitrous tank. Mounted at the front of the bed..


Don't think you'd have any issues, worst I could see happening is you having to show them what it is. Most check points should be familar seeing air brake tanks on tractors etc..

 

Not here in the DC area. They are quick to deny entry for any reason. I had to tell them I had just help "recover" two people whom they had heard names of in passing. They did not like that ominous black solenoid box attached to the bumper.

 

Sounds like you are SOL either way. Especially with the expo fuel tank, air tank and everything else!

 

Either way, I think making nice with them and rambling a bit about future mods might help.

 

Found my next mod...

 

skygear, this guy used his bumper as a tank

 

Bump, anyone interested?
