I'm keeping it inside the box otherwise I'll end up tearing the gas door off on a trail.
It's low on my priority list too but eventually I'll build a sheet metal box to hold a marine style filler with AL tubing and fuel rated rubber couplers running to the tank.

I think with how small my tires are I'll be ok. Might have to change it when I go bigger.
How much bigger?
I want 40's or 42's next
I have 42's on my crawler. 
They take the fun out of some places though.

I do love the challenge the 35's on my current rig provide. But having a large enough tire to go about anywhere is also nice
Yes! Exactly the way I feel. I like big tires. My old tow rig was on 37s while my crawler was only on 38s.

40 oz's or bust.
40's?
I want to try some 42 irok stickies next time around.
Every time I think of bigger tires I think about how much I actually use this truck beyond crawling and I doubt I would ever do it. It's been hooked to a trailer for the last couple of weeks hauling my loader and firewood a couple trips a week.
See, I'm the other way around. I never drive mine more than just tuning or random store run.
Right now I'm using mine as my DD. about 60 miles a day. Lol
With the low budget of this truck I made the lockouts work. Kinda ghetto but it'll do for now. I grinded down the little lip with my air grinder, then used 2 lock rings for the inner body of the lockout and 2 o ring gaskets on the dials lol. Going to be a real pain in the ass to get them back out, but they work as they should now and look normal.
Went to the pick n pull and got the missing upper grille trim and a new passenger side piece. Also got a new side marker lens and park light. All for $11.35. Put some new headlights in too.
Just doing that made such a difference. Looks much better I think.

Put 5 gallons of gas in with my race can and no fuel came back up and over flowed so that makes me happy.

I could paint them, but not sure I want to.
