Well after admiring everyone else's rigs I finally got some pictures of mine uploaded for your pleasure. It is setup for washing vehicles on lots as well as the commercial accounts that I service as well.

Can't get anything by you D. I was wondering also, maybe tires rub because of weight.

yes the fenders had to be removed, due to new 8ply tires. The front is an 8gpm skid, and the 2 in the rear are both 4gpm each. 660 gallons of water when needed as well as a Big Guy. Those pics were taken yesterday and thats about as clean as it gets. Every once in a while I will rinse it off when walking by with a wand. There is only one thing i would change, going enclosed and about 4 foot longer.

Where did you get your tanks or can anyone advise a good place to buy them. I need one 250 to 300 gallon

I am sorry for the late reply, got mine from American Containers Inc. out of Baton Rogue LA, for 150 each, the tanks were cleaned thououghly and metal cages were replaced before purchased. I got 6 of them from him and I needed them to be clean of oil and other waste so were not spraying oil remnants and crap onto cars on the lot. Those are 330 gallons by the way

Actually I have weighed the options of branding my truck and decided not to for several reasons. I plan on doing something for the trailer and in the future if i switch to an enclosed trailer there will definatly be a wrap done to the trailer. I will just get a display made to cover both tanks on each side
I didnt want to do it for a long time because it was also my personal truck. But then I realized that the more I drove it with the stickers, the more exposure I would get. Like just today, I landed a roof while I was out to lunch with my Mom. $600 job, and he lives less than 5 miles from me. Ive landed alot from it, and it only cost me $400.
