P1000 Carrying Fuel and Water

[Plongson]

I had a few fuel and water packs left over from the Rincon days, and figured a way to carry them. I picked up some of the stock "D" ring's and installed them in the tailgate, that and a ratchet tie and VIOLA. Thin enough to stack two tanks and still have the back seats up. No way that's happening with Rotopax.

These are the old Pioneer Outdoor Plastics brand that Kolpin purchased years ago and Kolpin trashed the entire Pioneer line with their own line of JUNK. You rarely see these nice tank anymore but I'm always keeping an eye open. 3.2 each, mix-n-match em'

That looks good. I was thinking about something similar with a rotopax can on the back of the rear seats

That is cool! I've never even seen those before. Nice use of space.

Oh man...10 or 12 years ago, Pioneer Plastics made some great stuff, at least out here in the west, they were an absolute leader in quality 4 wheeler stuff. Their cargo rack boxes were second to none and they had the whole system where fuel and water jugs mounted SECURELY to the box. Heavy gauge plastic that you could stand on...Then along comes Kolpin (direct competition)...buys them out, squashes their product line and fills the void with Kolpin junk...thin, cheap, and no innovation to adapt fuel and water. Kolpin is a real disappointment IMO.
Like a dumb ass, I sold my Rincon with some fuel and water cans, I've been heart broke ever since. I do have a couple left and I found another fuel cell in the classified just today and I'm gonna run and get it tomorrow.

I'm planning a couple of long late season trips soon and I'll need fuel and water for multi-night stays...

Lol.. You mean like this.


We had a good thread a while back on different fuel carting options.

I've got a couple of the pioneer fuel cells from back in the 4 wheeler days... I sure like your water cell though!

This is my first attempt at a spare/fuel carrier. Pretty simplistic but very functional. Obviously before I bought a tubing bender lol. Still have it somewhere lol.
