RotoPax mounts on the back of my 07' Tacoma. RotoPax cans are somewhat new to the off road community and my experience with them has been nothing short of stellar. Seen here is the 4 gallon gas can, the dry storage rotopax container and the first aid container. I use the rotopax deluxe locking mounts to secure my contents. The "ECO" nozzle on the gas can takes a little getting used too but after a few times it's a breeze. I purchased all of the rotopax stuff here in the pics from Sierra Expeditions in Tempe, AZ but they are available locally at High Country 4x4.

I've been reading a lot on Expo and other forums about these. They really seem like a good design.

I have really enjoyed them. I also like all the questions I get from people who have never seen them before. Form and function, what more could you ask for? Somewhat on the pricey side but I am a firm believer in that, you get what you pay for.

Thanks for taking the time to both take the pictures and post them up, including some testimonial. Nice to have input from someone who isn't selling them. Southpaw3 (Big Ed) has them and his rig was the first I saw them on. Nice design, nice set up. Compact and very functional.

I seen those last spring at High Country. They are high on my list of wants. Great design!

if you dont like the eco nozzle, the water can nozzles will work on the gas cans as well, and are a well designed spout with air vent. They cant sell you them specifically for use with a gas can, but they will sell them loose as an accessory.

These are very local (AMERICAN MADE IN UTAH AND NEVADA)used these for about 6yrs They let us abuse there product for them while in the military . they are nice FARRIS SURVIVAL quit carrying these due to they would burst when frozen or too much gas fumes build up in them about 2-3 yrs ago, rotopax since then they thickened the containers so now they are very strong ,then the gov passed the "CARB" laws on fuel containers and the fuel nozzle doesn't work on all vehicles plus you don't get the venting port from the older units . but like scoutman said get the eco nozzles (used for water ) it will handle fuel,plus all vehicles can be fueled now just get a couple extra kits just buy at HCP . the eco nozzles will crack in temp changes
By the way scoutman how does my old rotopax work??? i have an extra kit for you too good to hear from you:thumb:
