threeaces...Excellent mod..I have been looking for something similar for when I do not tote my ATV trailer with me..I was interested in some sort of ladder rack mod to carry a gas can or possibly the little gen set..No luck so far..
I travel almost exclusively on FS dirt roads and dust is an issue for anything in the rear..When I use a hitch haul I put everything in garbage bags to protect it from the heavy dust and dirt..For just saw gas I use the wheel wells but there not large enough for anything larger than say a 2-3 gal container..
Again..Excellent mod..Thanks for posting it for ideas for my solo adventures without trailer...
I also like the other photo of the bumper mod for two gas jugs...
I thought long and hard about some sort of ladder rack but there is just too many issues with that........in the way as you enter the camper, makes it difficult to use the ladder, and my ladder flips up to access the generator compartment. In the end just not a good place for it. Also, with it on the ladder, it would most likely hang past the bumper. At least where it’s at now, the bumper provides a little protection as it sits “inside” the verticals bumper line.
The dirt road traveling will still be an isdue. I totally know what you are talking about with things getting dirty. I carry a car wash type brush with me and with my extension hose do a quick clean when I get to camp. Just makes it nice to not battle dirt on the back while camping. Seems I end up rubbing against something and getting dirty. I know....I’m a wimp!
