These were featured at the SEMA show in Las Vegas yesterweek.

They are suppose to fit both Toyota and Jeep spare tires.
You can use just one, or put on two cans.
They are 2.5 gallons each.

Info from Daystar.
Daystar - Driven by Design

I plan on getting a few of these to try out if I can locate where/when to buy them.
 
More info, Daystar got back to me earlier this morning after I sent them an email.
Good morning Corey,
We are just getting settled in after the SEMA Show.
We are sheduled to start shipping the Green and Blue Can Cam kits December 1st. (Note: the Green Cans are made from the same Material as the RED. The blue are designed for carrying Water)
We are waiting for our CARB Certificate on the RED Gas Cans. It looks like they will be sihpping in the USA around April.
We will be shipping the Red Can Cams outside the country (i.e. Canada), so I will let you know who is going to be stocking them.
I will get back to you with a list of dealers in Washington.
4 Wheel Parts has two locations that will be stocking them.

Here is a list of stores that stock Daystar Products. Keep in mind, they will not have the Can Cam Kits yet, since we won't be shipping them until after Deceber 1st.
Compeitition Specialties and Accord Distributors are two of our stocking warehouses in Washington. They might have a larger list of dealers in Washington as well.
I will get back to you with the list of guys in Canada that will be stocking them.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

So it looks like the blue and green ones will be available less than a month from now.
I wrote back to see if the green ones can be used for water too, I do not know that for sure since the material is the same as the red fuel can.

PS, they got back to me again.
Yes the Green Can's can be used for water as well as solvents and fuel.

Scratch the green ones for water.
If you are going to use these for potable or drinking water, you must use the blue ones.

The green and red ones will not work for water.
 
cute, but not a lot of gas with just one. And 2 is getting a bit odd looking for me.

So you think my truck would look odd with 10 of them on there? :confused:
 
plus if you put them on the live wheels you could make martinis that are exquisitely stirred :D

but anyway, doesn't it look like this mount will only handle a 5 lug wheel?
 
I think the Rotopax look like a more practical version of this concept.
While these are a novel idea, and based on practical uses, I'm aboard the limited quanitity bandwagon with this. Could you imagine an outboarded spare with two of those on it? Talk about tail wag.

Blue for water only.
The red and green can handle fuel, but I believe the red one will be the only one shipping with a spigot to dispense fuel.

The 2.5 gallon size for me for potable camping water would be fine.

8 x 2.5 = 20 gallons of martinis.

As was commented at our last club meeting: "Seems we're a drinking club with a wheeling problem!" :lol:

On a washboard road they would be shaken and stirred...
 
It looks a great idea to have handy watter on the trail .. but not to carry what you really need .. not at least in one ..
 
I have the SLEE interior spare tire carrier; looks like a better option for carrying some water up and out of the way on a 1 or 2 day trip, rather than using the 2.5 gallon Arrowhead water jug. Plus, it would be on the inside. I didn't see a price yet though.
