For those of you carrying extra fuel, especially with an LOD rear bumper + tire carrier, which type do you prefer? Old-style jerry cans or newer rotopax?
Please post pictures if you have!

 

I carry rotopaks because they mount easy and are convenient. I prefer Jerry cans due to ease of use, durability & larger capacity.

 

I'm using a couple 1 gal rotopax containers with a tire mount. Custom covers made from nylon stuff sacks. 2 extra gallons doesn't sound like much, but it works for me. Rotopax appears to be very durable, can't rust, no leaks, and lots of sizes available. BTW, suggest the "water" spout instead of the gasoline safety spout -- stores inside the container, and is far safer - Still have some 5 gal jerry cans from the old days, but prefer size selection and mounting of the Rotopax.

 

I love my Rotopax. Actually had a Toyota rig back into my rig in Georgetown staging for the Rubicon and when he hit the gas Rotopax it bent the LoD mount a little, but only left a small scratch on the Rotopax.

 

I run a Northridge universal jerry can carrier mounted on a Rugged Ridge XHD bumper with tire carrier (mounted to carrier arm) I love the jerry can

Thanks for the comments and feedback. I'm not sure of what I'll do... can't decide. For some reason I think the jerry cans look better and allow for more fuel without having to stack several rotopax. On the other hand, the rotopax seem to be bullet-proof and might become more and more common.

 

Jerry cans are time tested too.....

 

Jerry cans are classic looking; that's why I went with them. But, I'm the kind of guy who thinks LED lights are for tuner cars, not Jeeps. Sometimes I'm willing to let the classic look of a Jeep overrule the more modern and perhaps even better performing.

Me photographing my Jeep. LOL.

 

Either one will do. i like both rotopax and Jerry cans. I am using roto's as I have mounts for them on my atv, camper, jeep, UTV etc. Mark, LED light bars are not what they are cracked up to be, but I can tell you first hand that the truck lites are an amazing upgrade!

 

I like Jerry cans more due to the look and carrying capacity.
