A perfect example of how a gimmicky product can corner a market...
But the stuff is just poorly, POORLY engineered! It's way over priced, "look at my cool gear" crap...
So I bought a pair of 1 gallon water jugs a few years back.
Today I bought the L-bracket mount, standard pax mount and extention mount...
The L-bracket, despite giving you 8 mounting holes for the pax mount, can only be used with the can mounted horizontally! Like WTF were they thinking? The L-bracket is simply not tall enough.
Design oversight?? Big time!
And this is without even any mounting hardware on the bracket yet!
And just to put a finer point on design, WTF is with the carrying handle?? I MIGHT be able to fit 2 fingers in there. Not comfortably though. God help anyone who has to carry full cans any amount of distance.
This is mounting inside my Bronco on the back of my cooler slide-out. Having the cans laying on their side takes up precious space in a 2 door!
Oh, and here is the best part....
The jug, I forget what I paid for them, but today they are $60 + 13% tax each... (Canada)
The mounting hardware was $180 with tax...
So $315 for 2 gallons of water storage
