Back to the root of this post.  This one looks good but kinda hard to tell from the pictures.  Appears to have been converted to floor shift.

If I am not mistaken, metal jerry cans are illegal in the state of California. I suspect that is the reason for the plastic, given that TLC is headquartered here in Southern California.

While we're at it:

All that money, and the sole jerry can is made of plastic and mounted on the rear bumper? Really?

With all that space for a second tank, a jerry can?Pfft.

Methinks the jerry can is there purely for "lookit me and how rugged and such I am" effect, rather than for actual range. Aside from anything else, that jerry can's contents are probably only able to move the truck what, eight feet?
