    I bet if you drive up there he'll be happy to put one together. Ask him to make 2, 'ol buddy, 'ol pal...

    I'm still eyeing that mod this year, but looking at an aux tank between the frame rails where the spare tire used to sit so I can keep the 2 fuel cells separate. Looking at this Ford P/U 4250 series 19 gallon tank as the solution... http://www.mtscompany.com/ford.htm

    You say that like it's a bad thing. It's an excuse to "GO" as my two year old son would say with glee in his eye. Spending money on electrical stuff right now but still watching this thread as I'd certainly like one too.
    Best wishes,

    called yesterday and talked with shane, nice guy. still only limited production. talked with him about the possibility of making some out of aluminum for the same price as steel, his is open to it but wants to make a few more before he changes material, 6 months or so was his answer. price for steel is 1800, he thinks the same for alu as well. so in about 6 months it sounds like he will be open to making them production not just single. keep your eyes open for this i know i will be moving on this then, just enough time to save the bucks.
