I have a 5 gallon fuel pack i carry on my grizzly and wanted to be able to carry it in my wolverine. I didn't want to drill holes in my bed, so after some thought I came up with this.
I used the groove for storing the tailgate and cut a 2x6 to fit.


Then I screwed the mount plate to the 2x6



It fits perfectly



And takes up very little space

That's a great idea

Thanks, Trev!

It is a great idea. I was going to buy the 5 gallon rotopax, but was afraid that it would limit how much, and how I could fit things in the bed. I thought about putting it up there in the front of the bed somehow, but have never owned a rotopax and was skeptical about having 5 gallons of fuel right behind me that could blow up. I ended up going with the 3 gallon one and was amazed with it. They really do not leak, and the plastic is very heavy gauge. In hindsight, I wish I had done the same thing. Nice work.

Wow. Thanks!! Great option and idea. That will come in handy for long trips.

I have the same tank I'm definitely going to use your great idea. Thanks

 

[Hammer]

Thanks guys! Now that I think about it, I guess if I needed the space i could replace the tailgate with the fuel pack and open up a little more space

 

[Deeyoh]

Ohhhh, another idea. what if you bolted the mounts TO the tailgate. Then you could put it front and back, plus it has the rubber straps to hold it down.

Looks like some redneck ingenuity to me!

 

[Flach24]

Looks great! That has my brain turning on what else a guy could mount

 

[Wi_Rider]

Looks good!

I guess I'm fortunate enough that with our trail system we have a place that you can get fuel about every 30 miles or so.

Hammer As I told you in your original great idea so I borrower your idea here is my tank installed

 

[Hammer]

Looks good!
Does the thinner plate fit tight?

 

[All out]

Yes but here is the good news that plate and tank was on the front rack of my Honda rubicon, all I did was move it over to wolverine it fit like it was made for it I used zip ties to fasten to the back two hold downs. And had plenty of room for my chest.

Sweet! I took mine to WV a few weeks ago and put on a little better than 80 miles a day. We stopped for lunch and gas around 3 both days and i never got below half a tank. The 900 RZR with me needed my spare fuel, but I never got close to needing it. I would rather have it and not need it than the other way around though. You never know where a good ride might take you and it very well could be far away from a gas station!

Where did you ride in WV. We're going to bluefield next week for 4 days riding Indian ridge, pennicle and Pocahontis. We're in central WV and ride all of hatfields a lot.

We stayed at the wagon wheel, got gas in northfork and bramwell

I don't think you would ever feel the difference between a 3 gal and a 5 gal explosion.

 

[BigBuck]

Your probably right. Thanks for being here to call me out on a post that is two months old.
