No worries. The power switch for the transfer pump is very well hidden. I removed the one that came on the pump and hid a remote switch to cut it on inside the generator cabinet.

While the trailer is lowered a LOT it still needs a 7" rise hitch to be level on the little Blazer. lol The little Blazer handles it just fine though, even with a full tank. I figure its probably near 4000lbs with a full tank.

In this shot, looking from the rear under the control panel and deck at the top of the belly tank. Fuel level gauge, 3" locking fuel filler cap, and the desiccant breather for the belly tank. Barely visible at the right is the fuel line from the dip tube.

This one shows the modified electrical distribution box which now houses the fuel transfer pump. Not shown but for security I hid a switch inside the side door of the gen set that controls the power for the transfer pump. It is under the lip and is not visible at all, just have to known where to...

So I forgot that I never posted any additional photos or updates. So this shows how I mounted the Goldenrod fuel filter. I had a pair of off road light rail mounting brackets laying around, so I used those over the pipe nipples with some aluminum straps to hang it. Bored two holes for the fuel...

With it lowered the deck height is now 27 inches. Tank is installed and still has a foot of ground clearance which is plenty for me. Leak tested it with water and put a coat of Duralux aluminum boat green paint on the visible bits. Will get a couple of pics tomorrow.

Lowered and a shot of the tank in progress....

Great info. I'll be talking with my welder who is building this out later today. Going to tell him we either need to reduce it below 119 or divider it into two separate tanks with separate fill necks.

No pics but an update to keep this fresh for now.... The trailer is coming along. Went one step further than what I've seen in a couple of other threads where members have modified their LTT trailers to raise the axle up higher (in order to lower the trailer). As mentioned I did change it up to...

And one more.... My solution for the side air intakes and bottom hole as I mentioned before was to install aluminum screen inside those. The top one I did not want to go that route as I felt that a finer mesh screen would be too restrictive (probably would be just fine though) but wanted to...

Smallish update.... Got a pair of GM HD truck wheels (plain steel ones). Scuffed and rattle canned them flat black. Rust Oleum flat black with built in primer is more of a satin back (their industrial enamel flat black is much flatter). Found a pair of used BFG Mud Terrain KM3 in 265/70/R16 (10...

Ah - good point! Thanks for mentioning that.

I did consider spraying it with a matte clear..... Penetrol holds up surprisingly well (some of the "rat rods" that you see where they want to keep the vintage look use it as well) for a few years in my experience so I just went with that since I already had it around. My welding guy came to...

That part on the trailer frame, Zed got it. The TM shows a wing nut but mine is a hex, unbolt it and it sits on top of a jack for lifting the trailer to change a tire. Some more pics.... pulled it out this morning to wash the spilled fuel off (from the tank well nuts and return fuel line...

Some more info on the PCMDS charging setup.... Someone on here has posted the TM for the PCMDS kit before but if needed I can scan the copy that came with the one I bought. These are intended for wheeled vehicles like the HMMWV which have a use for additional 24v and 12v circuits in addition to...

And..... remembering more mods. Removed the side NATO slave connector (I have no use for that) and added a 120V 20A GFCI duplex receptacle there. Removed the fuel line storage box from the one lid and added a Square D QO breaker panel behind that lid. Added a 50A receptacle on the right side as...

Oddly my first real question is in regards to the trailer. There is little info on it other than the standard docs which are from the 90's since they are still "mostly" the same. Mine has one fitting that I have not really explored yet. It is obvious someone has tried to turn it with something...

So I have a lot to post about this. Hopefully some might find some of it useful. I also likely will have a few questions but honestly with the vast amount of info here on these forums I actually cannot really think of much as I actually know how to search on forums and read first. Crazy...
