If dropping $375 (DO - dvc stage 2) up to nearly $1000 (Snow) isnt for you and you dont mind the simple, non bling, and a little leg work you can DIY. Be cautious installing this. If you dont understand something, read some more or ask questions before proceding. Because if you screw up your truck, its on you.
Lets start with the tank:
Yes you can tap into your windshield washer tank for the ultimate low cost tank. But if you want a seperate tank here are a couple options.
1 - This is what I have been running for a while now.

A Valterra R8054 - 27 gallon
The tanks are ABS Solvent weldable, so you can add your own fill fittings.
They also make different sizes. The tank part numbers go like this R80xx (xx is the length of tank)
Tank tanks are about the same height as the 7 gallon tanks that come with some meth kits, so they fit nicely under the bed rails.
You can see in the link how the tank looks new.
I cut some holes in the top
A couple fittings and some ABS solvent from Lowes:
And some black plastic paint
Also, not pictured is the one cap I changed out. On one side I replaced the cap pictured with a one way vent cap to let air in as the tank drains. Also available at Lowes.
2- You can check a place like http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=23910&catid=934
Hmmm, does that tank look familiar
Now for the pump.
Any of the meth companies pump should work fine for a DIY setup. They are mostly all interchangeable. Check the F/S sections on the forums for used ones or EBAY or CL or buy one new.
Next up is the controller.
Probably the most requests I get are "what are you using for a controller?"
So, here it is. Not a fancy thing, not a "set it and forget it", and no bling.
But I've been runnning this for over 100,000 miles now.

You can get a cheap 'project box' to put it in.
That place also has one that can use a 0-5v input.
Fittings & Lines
If you have a Parker Store near you, they have most all the fittings and lines in the showroom. Lowes/Home Depot/Tractor Supply also carry some, but make sure they can handle the pressure you are going to run and can handle the % of meth you want to run.
Nozzles
I'm not sure on the exchange rate on sizes. I think Snow labels them different than the others. SO this is based on Snows sizes. For a mpg kit in a dmax you'll want a 175.
I'm sure theres more I'm forgetting or will expand on later. Just wanted to get the bulk of this written for now
