Not actual fenders........rear mudflaps.
Is there a thread with some pics somewhere?
I'm with ya on that one! The thread about the "drunk driver VS deuce" comes to mind.
Even WMO can create problems.....if some distracted dufus rear ends you and smashes the can then there is going to be black oil all over the scene...some other dufus is going to scream for the HAZMAT crew (even though WMO is technically Non-Haz) and every first responder in a ten mile area is going to show up with sirens wailing and lights flashing (it's what they live for).
A lot BETTER chance of getting rear ended, then being t-boned.
I thank you for the picture Mike. Prolly stick with water too, was thinking of adding another tank under the bed for extra fuel as well. The water will come in handy for Vinny to wash off with after finding certain holes in Richloam.
Let's do some math......you have a loaded truck with a 250 Cummins in it and you need to bug out.....5 gallons of fuel gets you maybe 25 miles (downhill with a tailwind). If you have one one each side that's 50 miles....yes this could mean the difference between getting to your destination or being stranded.
I added a second 50 gallon fuel tank in place of my spare tire rack on my M109A3. I just use it as a feeder tank for my primary tank.I thank you for the picture Mike.

Of course, I also have about 100 gallons of nice clean WVO too. If that gets spilled, I'll brake out the deep fryer and cut up some spuds.
I have been throwing the idea around of adding a secondary fuel tank. However, I don't really have another location to bug out to. Not yet anyways but working on it. In my area I have a dam that has been known to flood the main hwy and make it impassable to regular vehicles. Plus my wife is usually down in a Tsunami vulnerable area on a town built over swampland. In fact the town is resting on pilings driven in the ground...LOL. So basically a 5 gallon jerry can will get me across the flooded hwy, down to the swamp town to get my family, and back home. The way my 923 is configured, I have a total of five jerry can holders (2 on mudflap, 2 on top of tool box, 1 mounted between the toolbox and mudflap). 4/5 have fuel cans on them.
Man wscougarex your 5 ton is giving me the 5 ton itch. My hoa would have a stroke if I brought one of those home. That's it it's time to move.
LOL, my big mistake was driving one. Though it's bigger than my wife's Escalade (just a little bit bigger
), the 5 ton drives much easier...no joke!
exactly my mistake.
