Diy Fuel Carrier $20

Diy Fuel Carrier $20 was created by GreyJimny
Heres another cheap hack I did to carry extra fuel on my roof racks.
I took a peice of 18mm ply and wrapped it in a 'shag pile' rubber door mat. This is to grip the fuel cans and also grip the roof racks without damaging their finish.
I added rubber feet to this base to lock it into the spaces between the rack bars.
Bought two 10lt long fuel cans for ~$15 each.
Then I used tie down straps to hold the cans to the base, and the base to the racks. Works very well.
PS. I use this for light 4WDing, and I'm not sure this would stand up to very rough tracks. Would need a collar around the base of cans.
