2017 EL hidden water tank build

[dsmless]

Hello all- got around to making a hidden tank that sits in the drivers side wheel well space. We go alot to the beach so this will workout well for rinsing off.

I know- You loose the subwoofer, well as of now, the wife dont care and it does not bother me. I can make a box for it later if wanted. Its a 7 gallon tank. I 3d scanned the area before making a cardboard template that turned into this aluminum tank. This gravity feeds the pump on a simple key on circuit and has a water level gauge.

Mounted at 3 points so its not going anywere anythime soon. The hose fits nicely in the access door cutout. Hopefully this gives someone any ideas.

Wow...that's really cool. Nice job...

Thanks- looking forward to hitting the beach. This is the first hidden tank I have made so pretty stocked it came out like that. Im gonna make a new level gauge cover out of aluminum once I have some leftover from a job. Gonna sit lower and more streamlined

No way I’d get rid of my sub; for anything. Not to mention I’m not a fan of the beach.

So what are you trying to get your post count up or something???? Or you just one of "those guys" on the forums we all love.
Someone does something pretty cool that may or may not appeal to you. He takes the time to share his thoughts and hard work and essentially help to make forum sites appealing in general..... yet your only contribution to this thread is thinking anyone cares to hear your opinion on a subwoofer and the beach???

 

[dsmless]

thanks all- I can take the good and the bad.

Got a chance to use this tank this weekend- took the kids to the family ranch for some good old fashion horse back riding.
Used the spray nozzle to wash off hands, bbq utensils and even did some moderate off-roading as the road in was all washed out. All good

I am curious how much space the subwoofer occupies HxWxD. I have an XLT without one and would like to use that space for other gear.

I think it's awesome. Now I want one for when I go to the lake, lots of mud where I like to fish.

I have a 18 gallon tank in my SSL expedition that I use for when I go hunting. That one sticks out quite a bit but it sure is nice for washing off on them longer hunts.

Heres a quick pic of the 18gal tank. My SSL does not have rear AC so I have that hole side available for activities. Here we are getting ready for a fishing trip this holiday weekend.
