Here you go...
that bumper has gone the way of the dinosaur, my new one is not finished yet, but its getting close..
That rig scares me in a Ford Pinto kind of way.
Awsome fab skills though! Good on ya mate!

Ha Ha BOOM!
Wow!
No those are perfectly legal DOT containers for those substances.
And properly marked to boot.

Yup, perfectly legal, properly marked, and extremely well thought out and well fabricated. I don't know the exact gallonage but it looks like plenty. 
And he's got way bigger balls than me for running that setup, because I would never put fuel or propane cans on my back bumper. Seen too many accidents in 31 years as a firefighter. Same reason I don't ride motorcycles any more, seen too much stuff. And, I'm just not brave enough to ride around with a fuel/air explosive device protruding out past my bumper.
That being said, I'm probably being overcautious. Mostly because my wife and kids got rear-ended again this summer, this time by an E-450 work van. Fortunately they were riding in her Sequoia and everyone involved walked away with bumps and bruises. (that's why we both drive stuff with horrible gas mileage- it's generally safer in big heavy trucks.) Both the Sequoia and the Ford were totaled but everyone was OK, and in the end that's all that really matters.
I'm not putting him down at all here, it is a very nice setup and seems well put together from his pictures. The clearance is amazing too, when crawling even when the bumper hits those cans are still in the clear. Just not my cup of tea, is all.
But, hey, if everyone thought and did the same things it'd be a pretty
boring world!!

What did you do with it? Want to sell it?
Nice swing down
Great idea hope you don't mind if Itry that out or similuler setup. The wife uses it for a DD so don't need the weight all the time. By the way luckily the gas went down the other day from $4.72 to $4.62 at 7 - 10 mpg hopefully more just did oil and spark change, next is rotor, cap, oil pump and crank seal, then the trans filter change and diff and tcase fluids. nice set ups.

Thanks, it was my first attempt in trying to build something like this. Worked out great. Currently have it off, just throw it on when I am planning a trip out somewhere.
