I think he means Rotopax on a daily driver. Rotopax on trail good, on daily driver cheesy.
I had to look up what a Rotopax is. I wasn't even sure what was circled on the photo.. Those things are tiny. What do they hold, a few gallons? Seems like a good mounting system at least.

I see them occasionally on 4x4 vehicles here in Phoenix and never knew the name. I'm old school Army type.. if it doesnt go in a 5 gallon jerry can I dont need it.

Snorkels... you need to do a dozen other things to the engine and transmission before the snorkel has any meaningful purpose. There is dust up there, you're cai performance dreams are futile.

... and another thing-Swing out bumpers to carry fuel canisters... $1600 + to carry 8 gallons of fuel that you have to manually dump in filler neck.

Aux tanks are around $1800 and carry typically 20 gallons, lower center of gravity, shift weight to the rear and require no manual operation.

Sorry about that, I fixed my original post. I was talking only about the gas cans on daily drivers, not the mount. Gas cans that are actually used for off-roading are fine.

but where else can have those as well as put my hi lift, cb antenna, and bottle opener so people at Whole Foods know I’m legit?

35's on D30's. I hated seeing big tires on small axles. Usually meant a long day recovering someone with a busted axle.
