Gas tank attachment/molle panels

Hello everyone, I just want to ask for suggestions, recently we have been going off roading and really wanted to get a gas can/container in case we go deep somewhere lol but I don’t want it inside the vehicle so I was thinking of getting a molle panel? Sorry still not that knowledgeable with terms, anyway the thing is that I have a stock roof rail and no budget to get a full on roof rack. All suggestions are appreciated!

 

I recommend the following:

A pair of LFD crossbars.

A pair of 10 liter Wavian gas cans. The 20 liter ones are really heavy when full and hard to get on and off the roof. They come in colors other than red.

A pair of 10 liter jerrycan holders.

You can sometimes find deals on the cans and holders if you shop around.

See my rant on Wavian cans HERE.

 

15 gallons up top. Never needed gas when I carried it.

Only needed gas once and that was last month. My buddy had 10 gallons he brought in the bed of his tacoma. We had a camp site we then drove out from over 3 days going on many dirt roads. Everyone went in ny 4runner to conserve gas. We explored a lot of roads. Used all of his 10 gallons. So depends what youre doing.

 

Rago Fabrication

I carry 5 gallons on one side and traction boards on the other. The pic shows water containers but the gas can looks the same but red

 

My post is above. I started carrying fuel because twice in Moab we got scary low on fuel.

 

@morfdq thank you for the response! Thing is that I am running on stock roof rail and not in the market for full roof rack to attached the molle, anyway nice rig!!

 

Thank you. I THOUGHT I saw a recent post with the molle panels and stock rook rack. It wasn’t what I have (Rago) but I swear I just saw a post where someone made them to work with the factory roof rack. Yeah I agree that gas isn’t something you want on the inside of the car.
