Also, the filler neck off the truck and to the tank were different sizes, so I had to use reducers to get it all to work. It all seems to be ok because I can fill up the tank at the pump without any overflow issues!

Sorry...never took any pics of the tank installed...
Hey I don't know if you have compared, but I have a 2wd also, and it has a very big tank in it right now. Do you know or have you ever checked to see it the 2wd tank is the same as a 4wd? just curious as I am going all out on my 4wd, and will be throwing the 2wd to drive around for the summer to get my fix. I tried to sale it, but decided against it. I have wanted an original for way to long to let it go.
