I had a great time diving this thing around CO for the last couple days. Other than wishing I had a lift and locker, the only problem I had was that any time I was on an incline, the gas tank would puke fuel if I had more than 1/2 a tank 
Also, at high altitude it was pinging bad even with high octane gas wich isn't supposed to happen.
I think there may be a problem with it building up heat or pressure in the tank.

????? This confuses me. Would it literraly spill gas on incline? What about decline? Where would the gas spill out of?
I probably lost about 10gal of gas on the trail out of the filler hole. It wouldn't leak on a decline, but fumes would still come out.

Return line pressurizing the tank somehow?
Maybe so, but how would that happen and what would be the fix?

Maybe the charcoal canister is clogged and not venting?? I have no idea.. Did you check on mudd for known issues?
Maybe, I pulled the cap apart and tried to blow through the filter. Nothing would go through, but I don't know how hard it's supposed to be.
Haven't looked, but it was leaking out around the cap. If there were holes, then I would think the leak would be from them.

Have you replaced the fuel cap? Throwing any engine codes? You know how if the cap isn't on tight enough a newer motor might throw a code.
Haven't replaced the cap, but I inspected it. I pulled it apart and tried to blow through it. Nothing went through.
No engine codes
Shit son, maybe I'll buy some of these before I install 40s

Some serious bling right there
Yeah, it's something that will last forever. Even if the rig goes belly up, I can tear off the body, and it will be the perfect donor for a truggy build.
