Like what? A hole in it?

Afternoon William!

 

........

 

$55 for the mount is too much

 

It'll especially be too much when you get the thing and/or are lied to when it doesn't show up.

 

I would get the universal mounts. I haven't had a single problem with this fabricator. I have their hi-lift mount and 4 of the universals.

 

Did you have a bad experience with that fabricator?

 

I did. Was not even remotely impressed and I'm a pretty patient and understanding guy.

 

Well that sucks . I figured I could get a piece of aluminum somewhere and use the slot nuts off of Amazon and make something myself . Still trying to decide because those Rotopax and their mounting brackets are expensive. I just ordered an AAL from Headstrong for my Dakar’s .

 

I don't see why not.

 

I almost forgot I just got Baja Designs Squadron sport lights and ditch brackets still in the box .

 

Morning............ Ba Dunk

 

Some of those mounts for fuel carriers are crazy expensive. I was looking at getting some jerry cans but the good mounts seemed to be around $100.

 

Yes , I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet . Definitely want some extra gas carrying capacity. Last summer on my way to Maryland pulling the camper I about ran out of gas before I came to an exit with a gas station . I forget what road I was on but there were no exits or gas stations for a long ways . Truck probably gets 10 mpg towing the camper . Ridiculous

 

I am talking straight outta my third point of contact, but I'm assuming the thing will sit below the cover? You could probably make a simple "J" out of aluminum and drill some holes at either end.

 

I like this idea posted by a member. But a very old post @sandman427

 

That looks nice.

 

I have no idea where to get one . Post is from 2010 . I like the low profile cans too

 

PMed the member but not sure if he is still active

They have smaller cans there. Three different sizes. And those are the original NATO cans.

 

I'm going with a Rotopax 2.5 gallon container. I never wheel alone anyway and if I ever plan some extended trek through Moab or something I'll upgrade the fuel carrying capacity later.
