Who has them and how do you like it? Would you do it again?

I rarely drive the truck (under 2000 miles a year) and I don't haul anything in it. So I'm not worried about the loss of bed space.

Post pics if you have your cell in the bed.

I have mine back there. I drive the truck everywhere.

I don't dislike it, but I wish I would have taken the time to put it under the bed

I would put it under the bed but I want the truck to be retarded low and probably body dropped so I won't have much room.

Yours is how I'm thinking of doing mine.

Friend of mine just bought this truck and it's kinda what has me sold on a cell in the bed instead of keeping the stock tank like I was going to.

Spend a little bit extra money/time and have a tank built or buy one that will fit under the bed. Putting the cell in the bed/trunk of a car looks cheap and tacky to me. Its not that much extra work to make it look clean.

Again, not going to have much room to work with. Maybe if I had a small custom tank made I could do it but I want at least a 20 gal, and would like something more like 25-30gal. I don't want my sump an inch and a half off the ground either.

I'll be doing something similar to that second setup in the future, if it's done right it looks fine and is functional especially if you don't use the bed for hauling anything. I've got that exact battery box too, it's very very nice!

If I don't build a truck and use it, I'm gonna end up putting it in my boat

I planned on bed mounting mine soon. I may try to mount it under, and just cut a hole for the neck. Or get ALL fancy like BlackGMC
