I was trying to figure it out myself, I have the same front runner tray and the same roof rack. Super helpful man, thanks for a great vid, solved my problem.

[@Dutch1951x]

Sweet setup!

[@TheCherokeeAdventure]

Nice man! I have a DIY Roofrack with kinda same steeltubes. I did it the same with an camptable holder :D

[@johndunn4228]

Yes, Very good ideas!

[@stuartallan6148]

Got a young family myself ... my baby boy is only 9 weeks old ... ive been watching a few of these videos online .. really lovin the stuff your doing. I bought a 'jeep' It's not a REAL jeep, It's a Honda CRV (cars are ALOT smaller over here, and ALOT more expensive) I really wanna get myself a Jeep though, Over here they're called Wrangler Jeeps .. But it's literally to do exactly the same as yourself. So I have something for family excursions and also something solid to know my family are safe in day to day :) anyways Stay Safe and keep up the great work ;)

[@BaptismOverland]

That's awesome! Any vehicle can be an overland vehicle (though there's obv some limits about where you can go with some vs others) but the important thing is getting out there! Specially since your kid is still a baby...the sooner you start the more memories they'll have growing up of all the excursions!

[@skydude58]

Thanks, bought it..assembly is not made for fat fingers and I need to adapted to my Yakima..

[@gibbethoskins8621]

Looks cool but pulling full jerry cans off a roof is the worst. They need to be at waste or chest height at the rear. I recently toured with jerry's on the roof and it sucked balls, getting them on and off the roof, almost killed myself getting them off the roof and tweaked my shoulder and I'm not a small guy. Plus it raises your centre of gravity and creates extra body roll especially on tough tracks.

[@BaptismOverland]

Yup! I'm actually looking to move this now. I'm looking at the fuel caddies that go behind the spare

[@henrym1854]

Looks pretty good. It would seem to me that the jerry cans would hit the bolts underneath? I can't tell how it clears them and from what I can see they sit on the tray perfectly fine...

[@BaptismOverland]

Nope. There is enough space on the sides and in the middle. The wavian cans actually curve upwards on the edges creating enough room for the bolts. Front Runner made sure to be clear of them! They're awesome.

[@jestervh1]

Did you put both brackets with 4 bolts in? Do the cans hit the bolts when you set them in the holder? Trying to figure something out for mine as well.

[@BaptismOverland]

The bolts on the side won't interfere with the cans. I thought it would also but after seeing a couple installs of it I saw it didn't. Theres enough curve in the cans to prevent it from hitting.

[@gcjctc2]

I store fuel in wavrian cans for 1 year at a time using a fuel stabilizer, never had an issue with fuel degradation

[@BaptismOverland]

I use Sta-bil a TON. Specially living in hurricane prone areas I always keep gas in storage. Awesome stuff

[@dylandesrocher1873]

So I’m a bit confused, do I need to buy the mounting kit from front runner ? Also I’m suspecting the Jerry cans are sold by Wavian or can I buy those from Front runner as well ? I do want your exact set up myself because I can only mount Jerry cans on top of my roof rack. FYI mine is a Uptop roof rack so slightly different than yours

[@BaptismOverland]

The mounting kit that comes with it will fit front runner racks. This is an old video and had to fashion my own mounting for it to fit on this rack. I have the front runner rack now. For the cans you can buy that directly fr Front Runner also unless it's not in stock. When I went to buy it it wasn't in stock so I got it directly fr Wavian

[@overlandvoyager2780]

I carry two military surplus jerry cans as you don't want to be without gas.

[@BaptismOverland]

Agreed! I've actually already moved on to the Titan spare tire mount tank which holds about 15 gal

[@overlandersnorthwest]

I want to buy those black Jerry cans too because my Toyota is White and black tone

[@ChuongNguyenCGoogle]

Hi man , I noticed you have spout clip on the jerry can, but when you show it on the holder on your rack there is no spout with clip on? anyway, I am curious how you get the jerry can with spout with clip or how you attach the spout together with jerry can ?

[@BaptismOverland]

When you buy the Wavian jerry cans it comes with the spout that clips on easily. It attaches the same way the cover of the jerry can closes the opening. But honestly, it's always a pain in the butt to lift that can with fuel and try to fill the tank. It's way easier to just use a self-siphoning tube.

[@ChuongNguyenCGoogle]

@@BaptismOverland thanks man, great idea to go with siphon hose, i will try it instead of Spout. Using siphon hose can pour/withdraw all fuel from the jerry can , but the spout can’t, it always left a little bit of fuel, I believe

[@BaptismOverland]

@@ChuongNguyenCGoogle Exactly. The only thing about the hose is you have to make sure the jerry can sits higher than the opening of your gas tank so gravity can get to it. But also there IS still fuel left over also with that. After awhile there's residual at the bottom that is just too little for the siphon to get to. It's just the way it is. I actually have a titan fuel tank now that I use instead of jerries (there's a video on my channel on that) and it works out so much better for me.

[@noobasdfjkl]

Aren't the protruding bolts going to dent and scratch up your jerry cans?

[@BaptismOverland]

Nope they're in the middle and in the curves of the can. I was afraid of that too but it doesn't at all

[@ogotuwaobuto5366]

Hey buddy, any rust on these cans now? Seen another KZbin video where they were rusting real bad after three years.

[@BaptismOverland]

They cans, no. The holder is another story lol. There’s rust on the closing hardware

[@ogotuwaobuto5366]

@@BaptismOverland Thanks.👍

[@MotorcycleJedi]

Why did you get rid of this fuel setup on the roof?

[@BaptismOverland]

Because I now have a Titan fuel tank that is mounted just behind my spare tire and it's awesome and easier to syphon from. It's right there next to fuel inlet. I actually still use these on the 4Runner though. They're on THAT roof rack now

[@jamesray3920]

Did put down a rubber mat down before you installed Jerry can to stop any wear on paint Jerry cans I have the plastic scepter military can love then. But I also was looking for black avian but settle for red until black out again , buy yourself a clear tube with brass fitting for ciphering fuel this way as long as not over filled you can fill up jeep while can still mounted , get zip lock bag to store hose when done who want to take off 5 gallons on top also check out AEV SPARE TIRE FUEL CAN months behind spare tire it holds 10.2 gallons how sweet is that and it comes with ciphering hose if never use you don't put hose in mouth just insert brass fitting in can jerk on hose in and out tank and watch fuel prime itself and also titan makes one for behind spare but I the AEV looks better cost AEV 350.00 titan 499.00 holds 12 gallon get your jeep if you dare for adventure leaving you on edge of your seat black bear pass awaits

[@BaptismOverland]

Ok lemme address each one by one lol... Great idea on a rubber mat! I didn’t put it down because the straps that goes over the cans are pretty snug alrdy. There’s no movement so it’s not really scratching things up. I do see SOME rust issues on both cans and holder though As far as syphoning I DO have that clear tube with brass fitting and ball. It’s AWESOME. Allows you to syphon without putting your mouth on it hahaha Here’s the problem...the tube isn’t long enough to go from the very top of the rack all the way to the fuel tank inlet. I’ll look for longer ones or modify the one I have. And it’s stored inside a bag in my Jeep as to not have spillage And I love the AEV spare tire fuel holder but man it’s $! Maybe one day though if I need to remove the cans fr the top.

[@BaptismOverland]

Also to get that AEV you’ll have to get the AEV tire carrier too. So its not just your simple $350. You’ll need bumper with tire carrier as well

[@jamesray3920]

Yes you are 100% correct and i ended up buying jk tire mount just so i could get the mont to install on my expedition one dula swing out but know this any good welder can fab you one and you can find some already some what fab just need some adjustments i found this to be worth it i own a tj who knows i may buy a jk but i can sell it recoop some.money back aev would not sell me parts so i bought it now can fab one but its a simple fab

[@BaptismOverland]

@@jamesray3920 well I’ll say this...soon I’ll want to put an RTT up there so there may not be room for jerries anymore. I started revisiting the AEV idea again lol I’ll keep you all posted if that’s the route I go

[@jamesray3920]

Good luck but if you don't have access to welder there are plenty of people shop who do a d to can find pre fab metal 2inch hitch with a flat plate flat plate to make your own mount I have a 2007 Toyota fj cruiser with the expedition one rear dual swing out i love this bumper cost me 3700. Well worth every penny takes about 4 months to get it but with their swing out for tire mount it won't work but a simple fix swap out by buying a pre fab 2inch hitch with flat backing plate then go down to local metal state buy a 1x4inch rectangular tube drill out same holes its a wrap trust me you want that 10.2 gallon spare tank ,very clean hidden behind. Spare saves space I will end up with extra 20 gallons for my overlanding adventures good luck but Bev won't sell you the part that goes in tank for spate I tried so I bought it 700 hit but I didn't care for the end result to me worth it

[@guidoviana7985]

Why not paint them?

[@BaptismOverland]

Paint...what?

[@guidoviana7985]

Just paint the Jerrycan black

[@BaptismOverland]

@@guidoviana7985 It's...already....black.

[@guidoviana7985]

@@BaptismOverland sorry I didn’t expressed my self right, you waited for a black Jerrycan, why don’t just by a any color and paint it black? Just asking

[@BaptismOverland]

@@guidoviana7985 Ohhh got it. No I wouldn't do that man. Eventually with the elements it will eventually peel and scratch and show the color underneath. When possible I try never to paint anything. I just needed to wait long enough for them to come back in stock which wasn't too long after. Better than the headache of painting it and protecting it etc.

[@ericdokie4124]

Why can’t people just get to the point?!

[@BaptismOverland]

Why can't people just move on if it's not for them?

[@RVingTheCountry]

Wish you would show us more of the Jeep build project and less video of you talking. I have to rewind over and over to see how the product looks on the Jeep. I mean the clip is quick shots of the products for 5 seconds.

[@BaptismOverland]

Noted. There’s just not much to show after you put these on. Lol. Go on my IG…there’s photos on there of this thing mounted but I’ve actually taken it off already and went with a Titan fuel tank (video for that too). Easier to get the fuel out

[@RVingTheCountry]

@@BaptismOverland haha… thanks. I don’t mind your vids but on most of them the shots of the actual build are so short. I wanna appreciate the work you’ve done. And of course I watch these to see if I like the outcome to do it to my Jeep. Just ordered the shovel, axe and mount. Stoked!

[@BaptismOverland]

@@RVingTheCountry Appreciate the feedback. Seriously. Channel is growing and I'm slowly learning what works and what doesn't. People tend to get offended so easily these days too and can't tell the difference between personal attacks and honest criticism haha

[@dinkaman2160pukka]

useless, easy to empty your tanks while the lock is on. thug life know how to do it.

[@BaptismOverland]

Yeah that's why I don't run this system anymore.

[@dinkaman2160pukka]

@@BaptismOverland anything outside, thug life will get it, no way around it.

[@BaptismOverland]

@@dinkaman2160pukka yeah. ANYTHING. I say it time and time again...someone wants something bad enough they'll get it. Sooo then what...just not have anything outside then. No lighrs. No tents. No nice wheels and tires. Nothing. So either you're gonna take that risk or don't fix up a vehicle at all. I'm trying to see the point you're making.

[@dinkaman2160pukka]

@@BaptismOverland those jerry can holders cost a ton, where I live, maybe US they are cheap. About $400 my way plus the cans. I travelled Africa in 2018, took a £1200 4x4, which does not look pretty, simple and completely worthless to thug life. I drove from South Africa to Kenya, covering most national parks, no one blinked an eye lid. Next trip planned for this year is going to take me via Turkey to Iran, UAE, Saudi and then into Sudan south ward to Cape Town and then up the West coast of Africa. I have been looking at "sensible" ways to carry fuel without attracting attention. Your clip came up, hence stopped by. Can't find any clip that shows how to carry fuel concealed, if there is such a thing. So, more bells and whistles means u attract unwanted attention. Keep it simple.

[@BaptismOverland]

@@dinkaman2160pukka ah I see. Well even still, it's a risk we take. Anything on the outside can be stolen. And we are def not keeping fuel INSIDE the vehicle. The only way to circumvent this is to get an auxiliary gas tank to hold extra fuel but even then fuel can be stolen through your fuel port unless it's locked
