TWO questions...to start

So I am interested it knowing the best way to carry extra fuel. I have a 2018 4dr with standard bed and a Snugtop. I did get the rails put on the shell. I am also interested in knowing the best DIY installed dash cam......I live in San Diego, and the Taco has been to Copper Basin, Id x2, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, N Mex, Az, and Colorado, oh and Eastern Sierra's x3. It is not a TRD, but is a 4x

thanks leev

 

Here’s what I did.

 

Cap.....I was hoping for something like that....is that a Toyota specific container?...who makes it?

thanks Leev

 

Welcome.

So what are you trying to do with the extra fuel? Emergency get to a gas station or extend your time in the backwoods?

As far as dash cams go you might want to chime into one of the many threads specially about that. Not being rude, most threads are just better off with a single topic.

 

1 gallon Roto Pax.

 

Thanks Nav1......I have not used your forum much and am still finding my way around......I'd like to carry as much as 10 gal, but certainly 50-100 dirt road miles extra....and I'll go look for the dash cam thread(s)

 

Amazing Cap......thanks a bunch

 

So Chalupa.........I got it re the 5 gal jugs...just looking for ideas to keep'm where I put'em on the vehicle

 

Scepter cans or Jerry cans are very popular in the off-road communities. This translates to numerous mounting options available. Here is one.....

 

Where did you get the brackets you attached your quick fists to?

 

I have the 4Xinnovations bed bars and they are very well-made. I would buy their gas can mount in a heartbeat if I was in the market for one.

 

I've thought about this for back country travel. I would build a rack and place three VP 5 gallon motorsport jugs in it. Now you have just under three-quarters of a tank extra. I've never used a roto pack, but it's only a gallon. I've used plenty of the VP jugs and they fill and dump easily. Even one, tied down with a ratchet strap would be roughly a quarter tank.

So now I have to ask... Is Lee Vining really your name or are you referring to the town right outside the Eastern Sierra entrance to Yosemite? If you are back country wheelin' in the Eastern Sierra, you might want more than a gallon extra.

I only wanted some for the space They save. Once i get my rear bumper i will just get 2 jerry cans that hold like 60% morne than 2 rotopax lol

 

Nav1......I believe those are manufactured by vets....I noted the jack in the background in the pic, I do want to keep the heavy stuff down low .......but it is a budget stressor

 

Could always add in a larger gas tank

Would that be the Copper Basin in Northern Nevada?

 

Brian..........makes sense.......I'm also going for space saving, tho I'm anxious to get a roof rack for the light stuff....I may go for a 5 and a rack and perhaps two rotopax

 

Hobbs.........this Copper Basin is over the mountain from Sun Valley Idaho out in the middle of nodamwhere......but the trout swim and the antelope roam
