Has anyone mounted two, 1 gallon or 2 gallon Rotopax cans on their tailgate? If so what mount/combination of mounts did you use? I'm trying to figure something out for mine.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Rebel has a mount I think.

I think these are pretty cool if you're looking for just storage. Don't think it works for gas tho since the cutout doesn't have a shape cutout for the spout on the fuel rotopax. But if not, like Eddie said rotopax has plenty to choose from if you just do a little research

Even if you could hold gas there, I don't know if I would. Beyond having to replace your hard top glass with them and loose even more visibility out the rear, they'd essentially be inside your rig. Not exactly something safe or something that I'd want.

I think that's why they don't work with the gas ones because of the safety issue. As far as visibility, I don't think I've ever looked out of those windows before anyways so I wouldn't be too worried about that. However, that's just me :thumb:

I saw that one in my search and its probably what I'll end up with, I was just seeing if anyone had something creative they made that I hadn't seen before.
Thanks for all the replies guys

I tried ordering from them the last two days but their website must be having issues. I ended up having to go through Amazon. I want this setup by labor day weekend so time is rather short.
More and more, Amazon is becoming my go to off road shop when it comes to ordering parts. It's where I got my Rotopax and mounts as well.

Agreed. And with Prime much of the stuff shows up in 2 days for "free."

totally agree! you get it cheaper then most places (NR4x4, quadratec, etc) and shipped in a shorter time frame. i ordered my OR-Fab tire carrier one day and litterly the next day it was at my door when i came home. i picked the 3-5 days shipping option as well!
Yup, you get to order what you know is in stock, more times than not, get it shipped for free and get it a lot faster. I ordered my Rigid lights from them and was expecting it to take a week to come in and was surprised to see it on my door step just 2 days later. :yup:

Is there a way to mount one to the tail gate if you have the spare tire carrier on there still? I have a 3 gallon and I usually just carry the can inside but I wouldn't mind it being outside. Is it even a good idea for me to mount it to my gate since I have an 80 pound tire hanging there right now? :bleh:
I would look into getting a Daystar Can Cam...

Do you just run a strap through the handles and around your tire to mount your Rotopax on the back of Rubicat?
Nope, bought a mount and installed it to my EVO tire carrier...
Here's what it looks like installed...
And here it is mounted horizontally...

I've seen that before but didn't know anyone who had used one. When I upgrade to the Lod rear bumper/tire carrier I can still mount that to the spare tire right and have it for even more fuel in addition to the rotopax mounts on the lod?

Just MHO I wouldn't spend much money on anything that is less than 5gallons...for 2gallons its very costly
Yes, you should be able to without any problems.
But, the Can Cams are designed to accept/stack additional cans that can be purchased separately for a lot less. Your total out of pocket cost to carry 4 or even 6 gallons isn't too bad.
