Good Stuff Payton! That's a whole lot of truck, you'll need a step stool to get in that thing! Just signed up for the USCA event in Charlotte in July, I'm sure I'll see you there!

So where does the GoPro mount for the rear suspension? I want to see it in action. Cool stuff and one of these days I want to dig deeper into the tech stuff.

Nice truck Payton!

Thanks for explaining the fuel cell guys. Appreciate the lesson.

Sweet Tow Rig Payton!! That is some serious suspension tech right there, and very interesting. Looking good !

That is just the protective case that the actual cell fits into. Either foam or rubber blader.

And don't forget the surge tank that sits inside in the middle/rear (shown on that PDF link).

The angle would have been too acute to add much support. Hard to see from the photos.

Sieg, it is a 6 inch lift for the truck....a 3 inch lift for me.

Mills, will see you out there.

Wife is not digging it too much since she will need to drive it some to haul the kids around.

Hahaha, years ago when my dad was racing circle track cars on a budget, my mom was stuck driving to work in the truck he used to haul the trailer. When you need a decent towing rig sometimes it's hard to swing paying for it without using it as a regular vehicle also. Unless your Weld. I'm pretty sure she's still pissed about having to drive a 1 ton crew cab dually everywhere instead of a little car. Sometimes things are a compromise.

She is not suffering too much as she drives a convertible. I did offer to sell her car and get her a minivan.

My boys are 15 and 12.
