i do have commercial plates cause Idaho gets ya. GVWR of over 8k and you have to have them. I told the lady the **** truck weighs that without pulling a trailer. i have never been bothered. no company logos or signage on the truck. don't pull for hire etc and just pull my own toys. filled up today for $450 ($3.87 a gallon in Roswell NM). bottom tank was pretty much full and added 116 to the top tank.

The glory of having a big tank. i can pick and choose where to buy fuel now. along with the gasbuddy app on the phone, i can check fuel prices in each town as I go thru and make the decision. big tank has a gauge on it too so I know exactly how much i have

Yo 9 Volt, its about time you got set up the right way. Nice set up. I have had a 90 Gallon aluminum tank with fuel gauge in my 07 since I bought it...very nice to have the added capacity. Another item that would not effect very many of you...when running commercial in a pick up and coming into Saskatchewan...the fuel police will tax you for anything over 200 liters! I was checked twice right at the border crossing. Both times I was over the 200 but...I was plumbed into the factory system. They want to charge tax on anything over 200 liters thats not tied into the factory system...cuz they assume you are reselling it cheaper. Another gov cash grab. Wheres the ramp for your chair?

ramp for the chair is in the garage next to the chair. had to modify it a bit. kept slinging the ramp out from under me when trying to load it. i think i am going to stick with the enclosed trailer for the beast. too much torque!
