Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

On board water tank

Dumping ground for offroad Trailblazer or Envoy general discussion.

So I was reading an interesting build in FourWheeler magazine a week or so ago. They are doing an back country build on a 4Runner and with the space from relocating the spare tire, they installed a water tank and pump. I was curious if any of you guys had thought of doing something like that? I myself found it very interesting and an idea that may end up on my possible list of things to do for mods way down the road. I can see that practical use for the long multi-day trips, but for most of us who also use our rigs for daily driving vehicles (or so I think?) would this be a bit overkill and not worth the hassle? This isn't something that I am planning to do, merely something for conversation of sorts. Thoughts?

JD has this in his truck, I think he made room inside the truck for the tank but where the spare goes is a great idea too.

He has on board air set up, http://forums.offroadtb.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1904. I spent plenty of time reading over JD and Gordinho's builds threads. Those two were my first inspirations with seeing what can be done with our vehicles. Heh, not to say that maybe I missed it or something though. :scratch:

Thanks Steve. I didn't see this before. I've missed a lot of posts this past month with moving and such.
