Thanks man. Now go get your 450 back!
I did feel a lot better after seeing the pictures of that truck though. It always seems that even though you have an idea in your head of what the finished project will look like, there is always that little bit of doubt until you see the final product. Those pictures erased all fears and doubts immediately!
The picture below shows the system we had on our last trailer. We had two tanks that were plumbed together so that they would work off of the same pump. There was a tee in the line on the outlet side of the pump that allowed a garden hose hookup to be mounted on each side of the trailer for convenience. This system in the picture was built totally by Myco.

Hot Duck, thanks. Coming from someone who has some incredible "toys" that is a REAL compliment.
BTW, sorry for the highjack. Your truck is looking awesome.

No real updates because bike week and its associated activities took precedence over the truck this past week. We just started back on it yesterday. Most of the wiring is finished, but we are still waiting for a few parts to arrive. We hope to have it ready to go to the body shop by the end of the week as long as the rear fenders arrive in time.
Here is the parts list we started with, so we are actually making great progress. The Transfer Flow tank and the bed cover were already installed, so we had a little bit of a head start. We started with the Pro Comp 6" coil springs up front, but the tires were a little close to the wheel well at full lock, so we are gonna slip in a set of 8" springs tomorrow to see how they work.
- 6" Pro Comp radius arm lift
- Pro Comp MX6 reservoir shocks
- 22" Alcoa wheels from American Force
- 37" Toyo Open Country MT tires
- Centramatic wheel balancers
- Kelderman steering components (Pro Comp parts do not fit the 450)
- Kelderman/Bilstein dual steering stabilizer
- Bed Locker roll top cover from Pace Edwards
- 60 gallon fuel tank from Transfer Flow (in place of the factory fuel tank)
- 40 gallon rear fuel tank from Aero Tanks (replaces spare tire under truck)
- 52 gallon water tank and pump from ATTA in the bed of the truck
- Power inverter
- Magnaflow exhaust
- CST programmer
- APM ram air hood and filter
- Turbonetics intercooler
- Street Scene Big Boy dually fenders to cover the wider rear tires
- Rear fender flares from ChromeWheel.com to add to the fenders listed above
- Front winch bumper/grill guard from Buckstop
- Warn winch for front bumper (16.5)
- Rear bumper from Fab Fours
- Firestone rear air bags with compressor and wireless controls
- Second air compressor and tank for on board air (to fill tires, change flats, etc)
- Stuttertone air horns
