You may want to pm 24hoursofNevada, he has the 45gal longranger. It is a lot of fuel, and a lot of weight. I had to add airbags to the rear of mine with Slee's HD 4 inch springs. to deal with the extra weight of the tank and 24 gals of fuel. I just saw the advertisement yesterday, so that is why is stuck in my head, but I am not sure if I would go for the 44-45 gal tanks. While the range would be nice, and a good price, that is just too much weight for me. I paid around $1200 from my system from man-a-fre. They never advertise when they have them, you just have to call and keep on them. I got lucky, called out of the blue, and ended up with the last one out of that stock.

You guys followed the road from Silver Dyke north back to 95? Other than the big rock in the road haw was that trail? We're thinking about another trip down there to explore the Pilot Peak area just east of Mina and I'd like to revisit the Silver Dyke mine. When we went there were a couple of guys sheep hunting so we didn't spend a lot of time exploring.

Thanks.
Yeah when you head up towards Silver Dyke and before you get to the lower buildings, there is a road off to the right, going kind of northeasterly. We took that one and actually camped up at the top in the saddle. The maps don't show the roads connecting, but you just have to cross a small mining cut, easy to do, and then you can complete the connection. The road was good except for that big rock, nothing a single vehicle can't get around, the trailer just added that extra bit of fun.
We were kind of done with that area by the time we were near the Pilot Peak area. Hopefully the next time you head that way, you will have the place to yourselves like we did.
