Honestly I didn't install it. I got it back when I still super noob and had my buddy install it for me at the same time he welded on my c gussets. He said though that it wasn't to hard of an install. Worst part was doing the hinge side on the driver side cause it ties into the roll bar and your working in a small tight space.
As for the different versions the rotopax version sits about an inch closer to the body over the jerry cans if that matters to you.

I still may do something small in the future, but not top of my list right now.

I helped my broth install his. To be honest, I thought the install was a PITA. There is one nut that was impossible to reach on the inside of the tub. You have to been your arm in a screwy way to reach in through the tail light opening, around a piece of metal support in the tub, and then back to the tub itself. One nut took us an hour. It could have just been us though. Once installed, it was a great product.:thumb:

Thanks for the link, Yeah, He runs the Evo carrier on moby now. Trail Bud (Doug) still runs the LOD bumper. I'll have to rewatch a few videos to see if he carries fuel though :idontknow:

I carry two ROTOPAX units, 4 gallons each, so 8 gallons total. I've used them once, oddly enough, on road. I like to be prepared, so I don't mind the extra weight. Great solution (an expensive one if I'm honest), but it's rock solid, zero leaks, and easy as pie to fill.

Because they don't leak (so long as you don't use the eco spouts) they can withstand impacts, they can easily pressurize/depressurize, and don't rot in the sun. I thought they were expensive, until I got them. Their mounts and mounting solutions are also excellent. They are worth the money.
