I'm not sure how much work would have to be done but I do have a 34gal tank out of my 2008 longbed if anyone is interested......

I dont think it is that simple. Take a look at the transferflow OEM replacement tank. I think the way it is shaped, you cant use a stock 34 gallon tank. If it were that easy, i think you would have heard more about it.

yea thats what i figured im about to do an in bed transfer tank and tool box combo but just currious if i could sneek in an extra 8 gallons for cheep i love the titan tanks but not the price still very interested if anyone knos for sure!

Yeah...if it was easy, it would be an option from the factory i would think. hmm, my buddy just bought a 98 gallon in bed tank for around 400. It stays below the bed rails too. Of course the toolbox is really nice to have too.

i was looking at pre made but homemade with a used tool chest seems more realistic

yeah..the premade ones are pretty spendy and you only get about 40-50 extra gallons

i was looking to make it around 35-40 wich is fine by me im in south dakota which is kinda remote but not alaska remote lol but i could have aditional 48 if i do the long bed tank...possibly

awww, who needs the toolbox...just get a 98 gallon one and be done with it...

yeah. I have only ever carried 20 extra gallons in my truck. I do want the in bed tank, but i dont want to have to fill it.. Of course it will just be a bigger hit at one time.

holy smokes that cheap...where did he find that?

wonder how much it would be for a small one like 30-40 gals?

can you find out where your bud got that?
