Another vote for airbags. They're great for the occasional loaded up vehicle, while avoiding the harsher ride that heavier duty springs would give when unloaded.

Success! Put in the T fitting so each tank can vent independently when filling up. Then I immediately went and filled up and both tanks topped up no problem. I'll wait a few more fill ups before I declare it 100% fixed.

Cleared a 1-vehicle wide turnaround loop part way through the property.

I'm going to put a T fitting here so that the main tank can vent straight to the filler neck at the same time as the subtank, instead of the original way where the main tank vents serially to the subtank which then vents to the neck.

False alarm. The evap code ended up being that my wife hadn't screwed in the gas cap (like at all, it was just sitting there loose in its place) 😂 ACGC (Always Check the Gas Cap) Still, I have today and tomorrow off, so I'm going to try to fix the filter neck vent problem that stops the main...

What evap lines did you reverse? Was it in the engine bay? At the subtank? Other?

I'm not sure what's different about the shorty version, it wasn't an option when I bought mine. The website doesn't seem to say, either. @drkdss can you elaborate on the difference? @propernorf how much of a lift do you have?

Yup. The bracket will bring your panhard bar closer to level. Your photo shows exactly the problem that the bracket fixes.

Yes, definitely beneficial. I have 2" lift.

Seems about right to me at today's prices. Especially since you're in PA, I imagine getting a rust-free truck up there would normally bump the price up quite a bit? I paid $20k for my 2012 a few months ago with 100k miles, 4WD, Off-road trim. I don't know how much price difference to expect...

I absolutely recommend, but there are still a few things to explore so there's no solid one-size-fits-all recipe yet. If I had a new cruiser tomorrow, I would install the subtank again. But this time, I would allow myself even more time to experiment and redo as much as needed to get rid of all...

Ha, you have quite the timing with that question. I've gone nearly a year with no problems (other than a few small quirks that are easy enough to fix, but small enough that I haven't taken the time to do anything about them yet). And then yesterday I got my first check engine light. The codes...

I might be an exception to the rule on this one. Everyone nowadays seems to go for the 5ft bed. But I'm in the camp of: If you're getting a truck, then make sure it can carry random crap really easily. E.g., I don't see how people can fit all their camping stuff in a 5ft bed, or even carry home...

If you buy a 2011, then you should check if it needs this service campaign work performed: Special service campaign 20TC01 It doesn't show up as a "recall", so the dealer at first will say they don't know what you're talking about when they try to look it up. Tell them it's reported as an...

I like your idea. Having a 1 1/2" body lift would help alleviate a lot of issues in general. It would provide a lot more routing space between the body and the frame rails + crossmember for the hoses (that space is extremely cramped). It would also allow, as you point out, having the spare tire...
