Rotopax Water Pack mounted to the M-PAC from Springtail Solutions. Same plastic spout and same metal vent I used on the previous Rubican and Rotopax.

This was done on the M-PAC but same could be done on the FrontRunner or Trailgater into the wood sliding table, it would need to be vented differently on those.

These are all so I have water where it is convenient. Springtail rates their table at 40 lbs load. Rafting I always planned for a gallon a day so I have a 4.5 day water setup with these.

ETA: The Rubican could be mounted to the M-PAC without an issue.

Mounting a Rubican to the Frontrunner , or Trailgater could be done but the spout would be hard to get to and the vent would need to be worked out. The rotopax with the plastic spout I can test out for the vent on the Frontrunner if there is an interest..

I have the Frontrunner table so may try it out, The Springtail worked out better for me in the end.

Moved my Rubican to the cooler, bolted the mount onto to cooler.





I need the Plus One mount to mount both cans back there, that would give me 5 gallons of water. Would need to do some plumbing for convenience.



Mounted another 3.5 gallon Rotopax fuel can on the drivers fender giving me a half tank with both.



This mount is only there to hold the gas can to siphon into the Jeeps tank.

This isnt what I wanted to do but I dont have a lot of your fabrication skills. I wanted to mount it to the side on the sport bar, but this will have to do and it still leaves room for the dog. Ties into the rear seat mounts and the rear mounts, three straps all around rated for 1200+ pounds each..



Stuff the rim full of blankets and throw one on top, and the dog has no complaints. Plus she has plenty of blankets in camp.



ETA: Plus I can stash soft stuff around the tire, or maybe put a platform above it.

Waiting on the video to load to youtube, but this is what Im trying out. These straps are rated for 1200+ pounds. I wont trust my dog back there until I get a few miles on this. Strapped to the sports bar and the rear seat mounts.

Changed one of the straps around, Ill post the video once it uploads.

Need to clean the rest of the crap up in the back of the JK.

With the spare inside i need to get a retrofitoffroad cover to keep things clean..

Im close to 300#s and I can grab the spare and shake the Jeep without the tire moving.

I have more straps on order and a second spare tire and rim on order.

I like this configuration. i like the tire on on the driver side so Ill leave it there, and carry the second spare when I feel I need a second spare on the passenger side. Otherwise Ill leave it as is for the single spare.

2 tires in the back doesn't leave much room for the the dog, but thankfully she is small. I still need to stash and strap my crap down better before letting the dog back there.
