First, the nozzle sucks because it's difficult to use and you're guaranteed to spill fuel all over if you try. That's not really a big deal because I use a siphon hose anyway. But, because of that nozzle they have a cap that is removable. So I've had several stolen (the NATO cans cap is attached). And there is no place that I ever found (stopped looking a couple years ago) to replace the missing caps. I even contacted some plastics manufacturing company, which was kind enough to mail me at no charge a couple caps and seals, but they are different. Regardless, even the originals did not seal properly. It was downright dangerous having gas slosh out of the cans (especially when you consider that my cook area is right on the other side of where they are mounted). Finally, because the NATO cap is attached and the way it is attached, on my racks they cannot be opened when locked in place. Which means some jokester can't drop a little salt, sugar, sand into the can. The B&S are vulnerable to such mischief.

Also, because of two upcoming trips that will involve more miles than I can drive even with my two NATO cans, I'm going to pick up some smaller, 2-1/2 gallon cans to strap on top of the Jeep. You'll see those in the future, but I don't have yet. My traveling companion already has some picked out that he says are super, but I don't know which ones they are.

I really like the fact that is covers the rear of the Jeep for when it rains. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=643190"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=643191"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=643192"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=643193"/> Here is a couple of links to previous posts (There are multiple post right after each other in each link): https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-s...9/#post4033485 https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-s...0/#post3917801
