    I guess I should have not used the degrees sign, 2.55 is 2 degrees and 55 minutes, so almost 3. I use the 30 minutes caster lead for road crown correction.

    I don't like negative camber on these trucks as it accelerates inner edge tire wear. 0° is more negative then the spec or 20 minutes positive.

    Just ideas at this point. Trying to decide if I take on the task of this project or just go fuel cans. An extra 20gallons out of the way, out of sight sounds really good.

    And would be really cool! I was thinking about something like that in my bed but your idea sounds pretty cool so you should do it and tell me if it works!

    If you want to go with a custom fuel cell I can make you one out of aluminum to fit the size you need. PM me if you want me to help you out if you can't find a Ford fuel tank. FYI it will be solidworks drawn, CNC cut, and TIG welded.

    Thanks, build many that hang out under cars? It doesn't need to be baffled as it will be used for filling, not running the vehicle.

    Non that go under vehicles so far, but I can come up with a design that will fit your needs and be stout enough to take a bump/scrape on the trail.

    Most of the tanks I have built have been hydralic for crane trucks operated by idiots. In the 60 to 200 gallon size.

    @thefatkid any chance the rear swingout/bumper would be up for grabs before you and the Tacoma part ways?

    Not really, the buyer would be expecting all the mods for the price I'm asking. If it doesn't sell with mods I might strip it and sell it stock.

    Understandable. Figured I'd ask as the scavengers roll in. Let me know if things change!
