I have one in mine right now. There are some pluses and minuses to placing it in the bed. First off, you lose a lot of cargo space, secondly, it may be illegal in your state since it is physically inside the Jeep. I went with a plastic cell but learned quickly that the AZ Sun like to eat those things up. The locking cap would deteriorate and the cell would become concave. My fuel guage never worked properly with it either (electric sensor).

I'm taking it out and fabbing a flat tank (about 4" high) to ride under the bed now. If I were to use a Cell again I would definately spend the extra money for an aluminum one. They come in so many shapes and sizes and you can have one custom made. No need to worry about the sun damaging aluminum.

As far as the pump is concerned, I got lucky and a friend of mine had a frame rail mounted pump laying around that just happened to work perfect. I don't have the specs on it though.
