    Giant Loop Armadillo Bag utility bladder review

    Great writeup. Just got back from a 2000 mile roundtrip with a 5 gallon bag in the Trasharoo as well. Outdoorx4 caught up with Harold at Armadillo at NW Expo. Link is here.

    Giant Loop Armadillo Bag utility bladder review

    Nah not harsh at all. Valid concerns. It's definitely a change going from your rigid Scepter or Rotopax fuel storage. I've hucked my full Giant Loop fuel bags from the top of my rig just because and not so much as a scuff on them. The guys at Heavy Enduro just posted a fun test with their...

    Giant Loop Armadillo Bag utility bladder review

    The fine folks at Giant Loop Moto sent me a 5 gallon prototype of their new Armadillo Bag utility bladder to test drive over the summer and the new bag did not disappoint. I’d been using their original 5 gallon fuel bags to carry extra petrol (that original review is here) on a few trips for the...

    Giant Loop 5 gallon gas bag review

    My current setup for a roof rack is Yakima round bars with either a Skinny Warrior basket, Rocketbox or surfboards in some configuration. My last couple trips I’ve had space to lay the full bags in the basket. One thing that makes these more flexible than Jerry cans is the webbing that I could...

    Giant Loop 5 gallon gas bag review

    Great information @Hillbilly Heaven. I should have added that about long term storage. For my purposes, I’ve only had them filled a few days at a time so far before emptying into the tank. That drain kit looks like another great option.

    Giant Loop 5 gallon gas bag review

    Always good to have options. I’ll update as I use them. Hopefully others will chime in with their experiences as well - whether on four wheels or two.

    Giant Loop 5 gallon gas bag review

    For me the difference is I can lash them to a board bag, on top of my tubs or in a pinch, throw them in the back. A lot more flexibility than rigid cans for my purposes.

    Giant Loop 5 gallon gas bag review

    They're not inexpensive, for sure, but I think the quality (and the Giant Loop video embedded here) shows what I paid for. So far with a couple trips down, they're working out just as I'd hoped. I don't always need them, but when I do, I just pull them out of a tub, unroll them and fill them up.

    Giant Loop 5 gallon gas bag review

    In an effort to lighten the load and make space on longer trips, I’ve made the switch from Scepter cans to the Giant Loop 5 gallon gas bags and have used them on my last two trips. With a few hundred miles off road (and too many of those washboard), so far I can attest to how well made these...

    RamCruiser...the build

    Congrats! You’ve been one of my main go-to’s on Mud for years “What would Phil do?” - even went with a stand alone deep cycle and solar panel following your lead. This will be our next step too as we get closer to retirement. The flat bed setups look pretty sweet. Baja wind and tent life is...

    ARB threaded socket

    Bringing this one back from the dad - did you ever find a response? I can't tell if this is the same plug/outlet as the Engel here. Hoping to just get the outlet to use in my solar box.
