i carry mine upright. i have had cans leak. my upright on my swingout rotopax leak sometimes with altitude and temp changes. but i see people with them on their sides, maybe i am doing it wrong?

 

not sure about a bluetop, but i do it with a single northstar.

 

I've just read a few good things about it being a cranking and deep cycle battery.

 

Which Northstar?

 

keep reading and you will find the northstar

 

A single yellow top will be fine.

The blue and yellow are the same battery - the blue top has connections for a boat, whereas the yellow top has connections for a vehicle.

 

Do you have a 27 or a 31?

 

True. Itd just light them on fire

 

How would the 4 gallons of gas go from the bed rack, through their window, and light on fire? That seems far less likely than a bumper mounted object connecting

 

Cuz he's EAF bro

 

The bolts that hold the rotopax on are tiny. Plus ive had one snap on me. A collision at say 30-40 would easily snap those bolts sending 4 gallons of gas through the air impacting whatever it is it hits possibly catching a spark and causing a fire. Anything you put on this vehicle becomes a projectile in an accident.

 

awesome, so don't have them bolted 100% of the time... only when needed for the longer haul trips


also maybe put your doors back on for extra protection in the event of an accident


c'mon hunter.... don't get all jersey shore on us now

 

Just don't crash. Pretty simple.

 

I keep fuel at all times for emergencies for myself or others. Ive pulled over atleast 15 times this year alone for people who have run out of gas.

i don't

 

Also @cmack fuck doors. Plus I only run no doors a few times during the summer... although now that its no longer a DD itll go under the tarp when not in use and Ill
Probably keep the tube doors on

 

You in the Coasties, or working for AAA? LOL

 

Haha I stop for those in need. Only takes 5 minutes to help someone out

 

they got people that are paid for that where i live. if i am in the cuts its a different story.

 

sounds fabulous
