I'd think 40-50 gallons would be plenty. Unless your running solo, you're going to be limited by the range of the other trucks running with you anyway. I'd rather have the extra room to carry the essentials like tools,cooler, and spare parts. Just my 2 cents.

Actually, in my opinion, the tank should be in the location of the rear seat.
Build an alcove in the cap (in the area of the rear seat) to keep the fuel cell out of the interior, and place the tank in the center of gravity: now, full or empty, the trucks balance does not change.

My thoughts as well, how often are you going to run with other that have a non standard tank which will limit your distance anyways.

So we have been sitting on this for a while now just waiting for the right donor vehicle to agree to be the first one. We are please to say we have a willing candidate. Shortly after the holidays we will begin building the first full true traditional 4link kit that retains the factory bed.

Shock options will be at the customers discretion, this truck will be utilizing a Fox 3.0 16" Coil-over with a Fox 4.4" 18" Bypass. This kit will offer two forms of fuel cells with one being an in the bed 50 gallon cell, and the other being a under the bed 40 Gallon cell giving you even more bed room. With the 40 Gallon setup, you could easily put a full size dirtbike in the truck just as before or what ever else you need the bed for.

Current travel numbers running this shock package will be strapped at 22-23". We feel this coupled with our Long Travel front end system will make for a perfectly balanced truck that can handle dam near anything. The only missing link at that point will be a cage.

The kit is designed using the same Upper and Lower links as found on the battle tested Smurfrunner, including the same link-mounts as well. By utilizing the Smurfs geometry, driveshaft plunge will be less than 3/4 of an inch, and body roll will be under complete control do to the exact same sway bar size as the Smurf. If you talk to anyone who has driven in the Smurf on the street, they are all blown away at how much better it feels than a normal Raptor.

The fuel cell will retain the OE pump plus the emissions controls that are built into the system.

The purpose of this kit is simple. Take what is the most proven system to work for dam near every TT on the planet, with the ability to keep the work truck, in your truck. Simply by relocating the fuel cell (which also happens to give you way more fuel) you can now have the best of both worlds with headache free performance.

I will blast pics of this as the project continues in early to mid January.

Pricing is still up in the air as we need to nail down all the true costs of everything, but one thing I can promise is this. You will get close to Smurfrunner performance at a fraction of the cost.

I would definitely be more interested in pushing the tires as far back as possible to try and balance out the boat anchor under the hood. Something like what SDHQ did with the EcoRaptor.
