They are here!

My NATO Gas Carriers and can holders are here.

They are great quality, the carrieres come with some rubber mountings so you mat not get any rattles, the gas containers come with some nice pins, and they are very high quality, I order them in Olive color, because I did not like the red color on top of my roof.

I will mount them on the ARB Roof Rack and will let you know how they perform in the real world.
Overall I am very happy with the quality of these set up!

Thanks again SOCALFJ

Those nato cans and carriers look good!

I'm going do something a little bit different when I finally get a roof rack. I've got those same style cans, except the smaller 2.5 gallon version. I've got about 4 of them, plus a couple of 1.5 gallon cans, which are really neat, but not much useful in a 12mpg vehicle.

With the smaller cans, they can be mounted up right, and not stand as tall and with less gallons per can, there's less sloshing of fuel or weight transfer and the smaller cans are much easier to fill with.

But like I said, that locking gas can carrier looks awesome!

I can testify to the strenght of that gas can design. A few years back I had a 2.5 gallon nato can in the back of my CRX on a particular hot day. Because the rear window acts like a greenhouse, I imagine temps got VERY high, because my square gas can was round the next day. But the welds held and not one hint of gas vapor.

Of course, lesson learned.

i havent been there lately. i would like to do a week in baja when it cools down a bit. im sure kino bay its on its way to being the next rocky point. its a really nice area. how about el pinacate? check this link out. :costumed-smiley-007

I am a player for El Pinacate, however I was there in June or July and it gets very, very hot.I lost all of my pictures in my last conputer when I got a virus and destroyed my computer, so I need to go back and collect more pictures!Live and learn!


Maybe in late October or November after the temperatures come down, as for Baja I am planning in March to do a whales trip; keep that in mind!

I had a friend do them for me, he installs pin striping and decals for a leaving so I ask him to do these decals for me, I wanted to show that it is an ALL-TERRAIN vehicle with the Lexus Brand on the bottom.

I have another decal for the front winshield on the works, I want to have my screen name, soon website on front of winshield.

Time will tell...

Any chance I can get your friend to make some similar stickers for me?

Here are some pictures of the gas comtainers on the ARB Roof Rack, I wanted them to be facing the gas tank so that I may use the Super Syphone to pour the gas out!

Your thoughts?



Side Shot!

According to ARB literature it weights 120lbs.!

A very tough rack may I add!

I wanted to pick-up my ARB Bumper from the body shop,I send my bumper to have it color match to the bottom of the color silver to match, I will leave the black on top alone i hope it looks nice! however I do not think I can pick it up today. I will try to have it installed by next week.

My snorkel is here and I hope to have it install by next wednesday!

Will post pictures as soon as possible!

I am also looking into a Warner winch at this time, I am looking at the m8000 or mile marker.

I do not think I will use very often, so I need to make decision soon!

I will also go to the heavy springs in the front or maybe the J's unsure yet ( after the winch installation ) since I do not want any vibrations and would like to have the same suspension feeling that i have right now!

Soon my next tires would be the TOYO MUD TERRAIN in a 315 size, followed by some possible gear's.

Let's continue with the mods.:chowtime: :chowtime: :wings: :wings:
