What would it take - 4x rotopax swing-out for slee rear bumper? (1 Viewer)

[sonk76]

I saw this on Expedition portal, and thought it was a great idea. While this is for a G-wagon, I don't see why this couldn't be a nice solution for Hundies too... I've seen the 2x rotopax carriers before, but not something that could carry 4 as here.

I figured that without the ladder on a slee (could work on others too) rear bumper something like this could be fitted instead.

Thoughts?

I thought that was 8 rotopax. Jerry cans are a bit cheaper IIRC.

I believe those are 4-gallon containers, so that would be 4 of them, for total volume of 16 gallons (I could be wrong, as I'm not an expert on this build nor rotopax)

It is my understanding that they also sell 2-gallon containers that can be interconnected, which would be the 8 rotopax taking up the same amount of space. I guess this type of solution would be able to support either combination (or any permutation between.)

I agree they are not cheap, but they seem more "handy" than jerry cans... perhaps I'm just a sucker for their cool looks.

That's a nice setup.

Sonk's got it right - 4 containers at 4 gallons each.

The best time to get them are when they are on sale - they usually have one right around the holidays.

They also have promo codes on the Rotopax web site.

Let's get these two also.

10 or 15 Gallon Rain gutter tank.

or 2 4 gallon rotopax on each side.

Sonk - I like that 4 rotopax holder!

If you got a BIOR rear bumper Mike could build you the container similar to as shown that would fit the rotopax. I actually ordered my BIOR bumper with dual swing outs, but as of yet don't have anything on the 2nd swing out. I think the ladder looks cool, but I can't imagine really needing it? I can stand on the bumper, rear tire or sliders for access to the top. Was thinking of getting a jerry can holder but this would be pretty slick and a bit more flexible!
