    Do we know for sure it would make the truck lean? I know 'lean' has been discussed in another thread but do have actual proof? I'd like to see a pic of this lean. People make it sound like its really bad.

    Too many to list now.
    I'm considering it. Not any time soon, but man, having that extra fuel would be amazing. Might do it before the big trip.

    If you're considering it , buy now / install later so you aren't disappointed if you can't get one later for 6 months

    I've got this tank on my truck. It is "bolt-in" but it is a project, and a very tight squeeze, and the instructions are nearly useless. I'm happy to provide details to anyone who asks.

    I take it you did the install yourself? Did you happen to take any pics during the install? Thanks.

    Anyone in the DC area or within a reasonable distance want to get in on one of these tanks? they want 1200 for the tank. 540 for the shipping. the exchange rate puts that at ~1390 for the tank.

    or like this

    1200 aud -> 958.61 usd tank
    540 aud -> 431.46 usd shipping

    2 weeks to build, 36 days in transit.

    tanks shipping would be the same but they charge per cubic meter. So we could split shipping.
