I don't have any photos, no. But I will try to remember to take some and post them here!
I'd love to see a photo as well--I am considering various options as well!
Ok, here are some pics. We just got back from a week in SE Oregon with our dog so the Jeep is a mess. In addition to the tank, we also got the fittings upgrade (brass instead of plastic). The 2x4 platform that raises the tank enough to clear the central tunnel is a hackjob, but I needed something quick. I plan to fabricate something a little cleaner soon. There are also non-slip pads underneath to keep the tank from sliding around too much.
I carry up to 4 of the 3.5G water bricks depending on trip. With the spigot they are convenient. I prefer these to one large container as I can size the amount of water to the length/needs of the trip, and if one ever started to leak would limit how big of a leak is possible. I also use their food-brick and ammo-brick models.
I built my own and spent ~$80 to buy a pump, an enclosure, friction fit grommets, SAE 12 V plug between enclosure and power cord, rubber standoffs, etc. but had I known about this from Amazon I might have just gone with it:
Good find. I was looking at a similar pump and all the parts alone would be more than that. Plus it’s plug and play.
When I get a chance I’ll make a recording of the sound and honk my horn with the key fob for a comparison. I didn’t use that exact same brand of water pump in that Amazon product but my guess is that all of these pumps regardless of brand come from the same factory somewhere in Xi Jin Ping’s Middle Kingdom.
Yes. I use it to wash off sand and salt from waders and fishing rods at the end of a foray into the littoral zone. I’d say it’s good enough for a wilderness shower.
This looks interesting, even though it was expensive. I have a question for you- the website for the product says there is 4" clearance for the transmission tunnel. Your platform is 4.5" high ( three 2x4s) Did you have to build it up because of a width issue? Or did you just want the top more even with the seat cushions?Ok, here are some pics.

Sorry about the late reply - I've been off the forum for awhile. The platform I built was designed to make the top of the tank flush with the seats, per my dog's request. ;-)
