Gas itself isn't too flammable, it's the vapors that'll kill you. But I agree, I would want it inboard with a mount like that, not facing outwards.

Thats the great thing about Rotopax. You can mount them inside your vehicle and there are NO fumes.

Im gonna hijack this thread a bit for my own personal application.
What do you all think of mounting Rotopax above the driver/passenger seats? In my case on a jeeps sun roof insert. Im limited on space when the ARB tent is on.
Yay or Nay? Obviously it would only be a concern if I rolled... but at least I would go out with a bang.

I searched for an hour, and those were the only 2 pics I saw of the Rotopax mounted to the front of the vehicle. Everyone keeps them towards the back.

I mount Jerry cans on the front using the front runner bracket, couldn't see why you wouldn't mount rotopax up front. I doubt rolling would be as big an issue as a frontal impact. But then the other guy would be wearing them!

I mounted mine in exactly the same place, I'm not a fan of the rear mount for the rear-ending factor, especially living in Los Angeles, doh!

That looks like a stock bumper.

Do you have an aftermarket tire carrier? That's an awful lot of weight for the factory mount and tailgate hinges.

No, just bungeed on and besides they're just for show and never used :elkgrin:
Full Teraflex carrier which handles everything just great.

Very good! I figured as much but couldn't tell from the pic.
