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.
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) 😂

Still, I have today and tomorrow off, so I'm going to try to fix the filter neck vent problem that stops the main...
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?
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...
Old tires were slipping a ton in the rain we just had, and there wasn't a ton of tread left. I was hoping to get another 5,000 to 10,000 miles out of them, but they were toast. Bumped up to LT265/75R16 E, which gains a little over 1" diameter. Plus, replaced with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T...
Nope. As you can see in this photo of the bracket that is used to install the tank, the subtank is secured to the body, not the frame. So a body lift won't affect the spacing.
Both @grinchy and I have relocated our charcoal canisters to the engine bay. However, as long as you have space in the original location above the aux fuel tank, I recommend to leave it there. Relocating to the front is a lot more involved than dropping the aux tank.
As was previously...
