Fill ‘Er Up
The very first addition to the truck was a 65-gallon replacement fuel tank from Titan, which took the place of the stock 36-gallon tank. He also added another 65-gallon auxiliary tank that sits in the bed of the truck. That’s right, he’s rolling with 130 gallons of fuel. That 1,500-mile estimate is no joke. With the push of a button from the driver’s seat, Jordan can pump 5-6 gallons at a time from the auxiliary tank to the main tank. A local shop called Rolling Coal Customs did a tune installation and some exhaust work on the truck to get the fuel mileage dialed in a little better. The whole system is complemented by a FASS lift pump to make sure the right amount of fuel gets where it needs to.
The truck is sporting a 6- to 10-inch Kelderman lift that gives it the ride height it needs to pull that trailer without issue. Going hand-in-hand with the lift is a built-in air system that has a 30-foot hose reel taking the place of the spare tire that Jordan can use to fill the air on any of the truck or trailer tires. “We only had one alteration to do to make it fit with the Titan tank,” he says. “Other than that, it was just bolt on. The engineering is second to none.” Kelderman also provided the bumpers and grille inserts, as well as a few other things throughout the truck to complete the look Jordan was going for.
[Project Long Haul] is sitting on 35-inch Toyo Open Country tires and 20-inch Fuel Cleaver wheels. All of the LED lighting around the truck was provided by Black Oak LED, and Retro Customz did the headlights and taillights, which include “fancy LED lights and strobes,” as Jordan puts it. All of the wiring for the lights is routed to a box that sits under the back seat. He says, “I installed all the relays and fuses under the seat. All those cables are all the lights in the truck. And if I want to add anything later on or whatever, it’s all right there. It’s not this rat’s nest under the hood that you see on a lot of other trucks.” A nice bonus of doing it that way is that he was free to use the stock upfitter switches for his own purposes. “Later on we added rock lights in the wheel wells, so we just put those on one of the upfitter switches,” he says. He also added a custom plate that sits up above the visor that controls all of the exterior lights.
Elsewhere on the truck, you’ll find front and rear tow hooks as well as an exhaust tip from Monster Hooks, custom differential and pan covers from PML Covers, a DeeZee in-bed tool box and gate assist, and ACE Engineering power running board steps.
