That's $3 cheaper than the place I got mine.

But where on your rig do you put it?

I built a custom roof rack and mounted them to it. Check out the link in my signature to see it.

Great idea. I'd like to do that with one Gas can and one water can. You don't have problems with the cans leaking? And do you think the mounts would work with the plastic cans?

I use Nato fuel cans. They never leak, period. They are metal and I have never tried to put a plastic can in one. They are built for Blitz cans so my Nato, which are slightly larger, fit real tight which is a good thing. I have yet to find a plastic can to fit but there are NATO style water cans as well, the baby blue ones.

Where did you find the cans? I've seen the metal gas cans locally, but have never seen the metal water cans.

I had never seen the metal water cans until about 2 weeks ago. They are at a local 4x4 shop totally offroad. They have a website, just google totally offraoad. Not sure if the cans are on there but you can call and ask if they will ship you one and how much they are. I don't remember. I'd buy one but I am saving for other kj goodies, but they were really nice cans.

Anytime and let us know what you end up doing. :wink:

The link I gave at the top: they have metal & plastic Blitz cans. Red, Yellow and Blue.

Wedco makes the (North American) NATO-spec steel cans (with the cam lid, etc) and Scepter of Canada makes the US Milspec MFC (military fuel cans). Here's a good writeup on the MFCs:

I'd like to try the plastic ones since they're quieter and theoretically safer, but haven't gone anywhere that my walmart 5-gal container can't handle.
