That gas can is crazy...see if you can get some close up details of it. It appears to be inset into the tailgate and possibly the bumper, plus has the Chevrolet banner painted over it? If the gas can was the same green as the truck you probably wouldn't notice it at all.
The cool thing is,
It's not a gas can. It folds down and opens so you can get to the tools. The emblem is not painted. It is from another truck and wrapped around the can. That truck had to many trick things to list. Won the Jason Payne Inovative Truck award.

Perfect form. Nice job Brian... These images and videos really make me miss that place.
Awesome!

oh I wanna see video of the white truck in the bath 
WTF is up with the cylinder in the back of Shawn's truck? Even if it's empty i wouldn't wheel with that in the back of a pick-up. If it's not empty...

Home brew on board air would be my guess. I get what you are saying tho ,but it does look like it has the cap over the valve.

Its nitrogen for on board air. It is mounted to the bed and has the cap on it. Another buddy has video of the truck in the tub. He'll post it on youtube in a couple days

Yeah it's a Toyota (or was, will get to that in a second). I had a great time with everyone. It was nice to finally meet some people from the boards even though I haven't been active in a few years. I'll work on getting the video of Shawn's truck in the hot tub up and running. Hell's Revenge was awesome and my truck did great. Small problem on the way home though. Now onto a few pics.
And then the issue......
I nodded off, woke up going into the median, corrected and headed for a light pole on the other side of my lanes, corrected to miss the pole, truck started sliding sideways, right rear tire/bedside hit the pole, pole went over, truck went airborne. It landed right over my head and rolled several more times. Where the initial impact is, the roof is about an inch from where my head usually is in the driving position. The guy that was behind me when it happened said I rolled 7-10 times. I remember at least 3-4 of them.
I am VERY, VERY LUCKY. My highlift was on the rear floorboard. I had two 20' trucker's chains, 4 D-ring shackles, and a jack mate in the storage under the rear seat. ALL of this exited the truck. Tools, fire extinguisher, hitch ball and mount, etc were behind the back seat. The roof folding down in the back kept the rear seat backs from coming forward enough to let everything out. I found the clip for the hitch pin, which was connected before the wreck, on the dashboard. **** ends up in crazy spots after a wreck like this. Learn from this and do not keep **** in your cab. Get a toolbox if you don't have one and keep everything heavy in it.
All I can say is wear your seatbelt. I am positive that if I did not have mine on, I would have been ejected. Also do not use cruise control when you are tired. Better yet, stop and rest. I was trying to make it to the next exit about 10 miles away, if that. I only had a 5.5 hour drive, and I made it half way. Someone or something was looking over me. It could have gone wrong so many different ways. I have my first child coming in about two months and I may have not been here for her.

I have to second the thanks for the ride Wade. That was beyond cool. Best offroad ride I've ever had.
