    Some stuff
    They're rated at 600lbs. I have a topper, Decked drawers and a spare tire in the bed right now. Rear bumper will be going on shortly which will add about another 200lbs. They are not soft but the street ride isn't harsh and there is no noticeable bobbing on the freeway. Very happy with them on pavement and in the dirt.

    Yeah, lmk. Not sure if there are any holes on the frame for the cross member on the Gen 2, but I guess if line it up, you can make some.

    I like that gas tank skid. Does the tank have to be dropped to install it?

    Does PP have a website? I can't find it for some reason.

    No, it mounts right up without having to drop. Though mine didn't come with any instructions, it's obvious once you lay it all out. I did leave the rear most bracket next to the drive shaft off since it was too close for my liking. It's also not as clean made as RCI skids as some of the mounting holes were hand drilled, but it should be able to take some hits.

    Thanks. Damn it's almost double of the price compared to RCI skids.

    PP's fuel tank skid doesn't use the fuel tank strap as a mounting point though. So, if your truck didn't have the fixed bolts on the straps and wanted RCI skids, you would have to pickup straps as well. I believe PP includes free shipping on the skids. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Great looking truck Dave! Awesome mods too!

    I'm interested in swapping to the 38gal tank myself and was looking for a detailed how to and parts list. Is there a thread on that?

    I know this isn't for me, but I asked @Roman about this awhile back. He said it would be cheaper to get a 46 gal TransferFlo than buy the tank and all the parts involved to swap to a 38 gal one. Unless you luck into a deal the way Dave did.

    Ok, I'd be interested in going that route if it's better and cheaper. Tired of only getting about 150mi to a tank when pulling my toy hauler.

    Thanks!

    Didn't create a thread for it as it's not a popular choice to swap to a 38 gal, but if you're headed down that road, lmk.

    Zach is absolutely right.

    XFAKTR Fab Bolt-on ARB Twin Compressor Mount

    After a few prototypes, we have product that's in production as we speak. This is bolt-on solution for those who would like to mount an ARB Twin Compressor in their engine bay. One hole will need to be drilled through the plastic windshield reservoir top mount. It's made of Stainless Steel 304. Our buddies at YotaBeast.com will have product in-hand by the end of the week!

    Install Instructions: https://xfaktr.com/install-instructions-for-toyota-tundra-arb-twin-compressor-mount/

    It's designed specifically for the Twin Compressor.

    Thanks!

    My used OEM tank came with all the hoses. I bought the fuel tank cross member, fuel tank straps and had a whole lot of patience as we couldn't find anything on doing the swap.

    Not sure if this was brought up, but the Transferflow upgrade is not CA legal. Unless things have changed from 6 months ago. They had not gotten their C.A.R.B. Cert yet. The OEM upgrade was the only choice for Dave living in CA.
