Hello. Are you able to provide any updates on final design, availability, and expected cost? I have not noticed any new messages in my inbox regarding reservations. Thanks in advance! Posting an update right now =)

***UPDATE***I made a few final changes before sending the CAD files off to the tooling shop, as shown below: The changes were mostly for packaging and ergonomics / usability. The tank design is now “pencils down” and queued up at the tooling shop. Lead time for mold tooling is 4 to 6 weeks, with production and assembly to follow. That puts the estimated delivery window in late April to mid May. Estimating production times is far from an exact science—especially on first run products—so think of this as a “No Earlier Than” date. We're doing our best to get it done quickly and correctly.
Marsha will be sending out an update email to everyone on the tank list shortly

Looks great! Glad to see more progress and a finalized design. I like the idea of the drain plug as I don't plan on leaving it in the truck full time, so the easier to drain completely the better for me.

To be clear, the fill ports also work to drain the tank, and most people will use those anyway as they are tool free.

***UPDATE***We are going to start taking orders and collecting deposits for the 12 gallon Frunk Tank project within the next 10 days or so. You should have received an update email by now that listed some optional items that we are thinking of including in the box. Please be aware that if you think you're signed up for the 12 gallon frunk tank but didn't get that email, we do not have you on the list--you can email Marsha to get added HERE.
I've had several people ask if there will be a second production run. I am happy to do a second run at some point in the future if / when there is enough interest--IOW another 100 people signed up--but I have no way of knowing at this point if that will happen or if it does, when.
For those who are interested in any of the optional items mentioned in the update email--a portable 12v battery bank, a 25 foot sanitary fill hose, and the 3 stage water filter--that haven't responded yet, please get back to Marsha HERE ASAP. as we need to make a decision on those items soon.

Congrats bringing this new product to life! Thank you, but we're not QUITE there yet man =) Now it all comes down to how many of the people who signed up actually follow through. It needs to be at least 75%. So...fingers crossed.

***UPDATE***The discussion about optional items people might like to have available has led several people to ask what is included as "standard" in the box, and what else--if anything--is needed to actually use the tank in your trunk. The list below is current as of this posting date. If there are any changes prior to shipping I will post an updated list IN THE BOX:1 x 12 gallon (45 liter) blue roto-molded water tank. 1 x pump hatch module (preinstalled) that includes the hatch, 6 stainless M5 screws, rubber gasket, 12V female power connector, Stainless steel 90 elbow for sprayer hose attachment, NPT 90 elbow hose barb, 2 stainless hose clamps, pickup hose, and 12V pump. 1 x fill / vent hatch module (preinstalled) that includes the hatch, 6 stainless M5 screws, rubber gasket, 2 x male PVC 3/4" GHT hose threads, and 2 x female 3/4" GHT threaded vent caps. 1 x 6' coiled sprayer hose. 1 x stainless steel hand sprayer. 1 x sprayer holder. (I am still working on finding one of these I like better than the typical L bracket) 1 x 6' frunk power plug cable for trucks with the frunk plug. 1 x 4' male/male battery power connector for trucks without the frunk plug -- battery not included. 2 x 4' female/female 3/4" GHT fill / vent hoses. These will be either clear or semi translucent white. 1 x 3/4" GHT shutoff valve. 3 x 1/8" (3 mm) noise / vibration isolating neoprene rubber pads. REQUIRED ITEMS NOT INCLUDED:1 x 3/4" standard garden hose or RV grade tank fill hose long enough to run from your truck to you water supply source / hose bib, (aka faucet). If your truck doesn't have the 12V frunk plug (it was removed on trucks at approximately VIN 11,500) you will need a small rechargeable 12V battery bank with switch like this one. Probably wouldn't hurt to have an old towel on hand when you're filling the tank. If you have any questions please let me know.

I just wanted to let everyone know that W[=0===0=]TR reservations will be closing Monday February 20TH so we can lock in factory time and component pricing for a targeted shipping date of mid to late May.
W[=0===0=]TR is the first of our projects to move from the Project Idea's category to the Projects In Production category on the front page =)

Isn’t the wire for on board 12volt female plug available behind panel to connect aftermarket 12v female plug?
