Jerry Can Holder

[OldManJack]

Just installed a Front Runner Jerry Can Holder on my roof rack. Install was easy and product appears to be quite solid.

Looks good! - I have one for gas on my 4runner, held up well in Death Valley and was pretty easy to refill.

Any reason why you went with traditional cans instead of a Rotopax style? I've been looking at both and like that the Rotopax sit lower and out of the wind. Conversely, I like the availability of the traditional style.

Just curious as to your decision process. Thanks.

One reason, metal will last longer than plastic; more durable. I also don’t have a good place for them right now on the outside of my Tacoma. Using the Jerry cans on my rack was the best option for me right now.

Don’t get me wrong, rotopax are nice and I may mount 2, 3gl ones on the side of my canopy. But, I will have to build a mount for them so they can sit over the canopy glass. I’m researching what materials and parts I will need to make to that happen.
