I used Vectors plate to mount mine. I was able to also mount my Teraflex cb mount onto the plate.

Did you use 2 of the plates to mount those Rotopax?

I used the Vector plate then mounted the RotoPax dual plate to it.

Thank you!
One last question, did you use 1 or 2 gallon rotopax? And how far approx do they stick out from the tailgate(including mounting brackets)

Thanks,

-Brandon

This is what I did with mine. One on both sides. I will be looking into the extenders soon.

4.5" from the Vector plate to the outside of the rotopax.

Dang, if you were to get rear-ended, you would blow up faster than a 1975 Pinto!

Nice. Any chance you could tell me how far that sticks back off of the tailgate? I'm trying to figure out is that dual setup would work with the standard OR-Fab can/tire carrier. Thanks.
