Gas can under tonneau cover.

hello peeps,

Gearing up for my move across the country I bought 2 NATO gas cans. I'm looking for a mount I can buy asap so that I can mount them sideways under the oem tonneau cover. Please let me know if you of anything, hoping for something that won't require drilling the bed. Thank you!

 

Google came up with this, if I have the right can.

I'm not really safe but i just tie them down with a strap.

 

I was looking at that one, I just don't have bars underneath it to mount it

 

I made this pretty easily with some flat bar, bungee cords, and hardware from Home Depot and some t-slot nuts off Amazon.



Mine's welded together with a cheapo HF welder but you could very easily drill it out and bolt it together.

 

Rotopax...

 

Need to mount rotopax on other side to counter the taco lean

 

Bump just to see more options. Currently looking to see what the coming soon 4.5 gallon fuelpax looks like.

 

Did you use the Toyota/Nissan Truck Plate Rotopax mounting kit for this setup? Or other parts to make this work?

Do you have any issue with the retractable cover? Thanks

 

I carry mine in a milk crate. Not the same can, but I have two cans that fit in a single milk crate and they have never shifted.

 

Yes, that is the correct mounting plate. The height works out perfectly with the retractable cover, I’ve had no issues.

 

Photos?

 

Awesome, clean setup you have. Is that the 2 or 3 gallon you have? Any rattling noise or movement?

 

Not 100% sure, but don't think you can have those NATO gas cans sitting vertically and close the lid on the factory tonneau cover. So I don't think think the milk crate solution will work with them.

 

I have a Diamondback and have at least one Wavian 20L (5.3 gal)can riding around all year. I will use 2 when I head out pulling my Casita travel trailer this summer. Right now they are just stood up side by side with strap from side to side seem to be ok. The wavian cans are the best no smell,no leaks. If you run the factory cover these cans will protrude past the opening.
could get the 2.5 gal versions.
