The giant 63 gallon main fuel tank is discreetly hidden underneath in the stock location. The heavy gauge steel fuel tank made by Transferflow weighs about 220 pounds empty, and is exponentially stronger than the small 38 gallon stock plastic tank.
The Fast Fill feature allows you to use the larger big rig fuel filler nozzle at the gas station to fill the first 60 gallons at full speed. The last 3 gallons only take a minute to fill. Previously the last 7 gallons would take 5-10 minutes to complete the fill.

The underside is also very clean. To the left is the Gearvendors 2 speed auxiliary overdrive transmission that mounts behind the stock transmission and transfercase, which doubles all of your forward gears and splits shifts in between them. To the right it the hi volume hi pressure air pump the supply the rear air bags as well as to a air tank for airing up tires, etc.

The newly built Ford 5 speed overdrive transmission with only 20k miles on it, is seen under a very clean front Dana 60 solid axle. The underside was washed with an underbody flush 2 to 3 times every week at the same time the truck was washed, which was every few days. A beautiful truck like this deserves 360 degree care which is one of the reasons it still looks like new everywhere you look!

6 new BF Goodrich rugged Trail tires were installed only 9,000 miles ago and were balanced using internal balancing beads so you will never have to balance them again for the life of the tire, which should be a long time. The last set lasted 66,000 miles and still had safe usable tread on them.
