That is a very nice tank. Where are you putting yours? I'm thinking by the fender support on mine, passenger side by the firewall. Use that factory battery mount area. But mine is gonna be plumbed from the front of the LSA supercharger in and out.

Yeah, the dude who made it is an awesome welder! He made it to mount right there where the spare battery goes.

Did you guys just take out the fender support there? Does it even really do anything? I mean, I'm not an expert, and certainly not a novice to these trucks, but that thing serves no purpose for me except to hold nuts and bolts out of my way! Haha

I haven't installed mine yet, so I can't answer about the supports.

From what I've heard, the larger tank allows more coolant volume + you can drain the tank just before a run and add two bags of ice...Both of which lower IAT'S

dads coolers installed a custom screen over my exit hole inside the tank so ice will not go into hoses and into pump.

Yeah, Dad's made mine the same way. Did you happen to notice how much the ice tank lowered your IAT's?
