That's a sweet set up. Very clean.
I love the Rotopax. I carry 4 gallons fuel and 4 gallons water.

Wow, nice setup. How much space left from the bottom of the carrier to the roof?

The top of the Tacoma is crowned at the middle. The closest the diamond plate mount gets to the cab is 3/4" and then gains from there as you move to the edge of the cab. First time out, (Mojave Road) I did clay balls to see how much it moves to the cab was never closer than a 1/2".
Hope this helps.

Sounds like you got the size just right. Is it just over 3'' thick?
So are you carrying four 2 gallon containers up there?

Sort of, the fuel is a single 4 gallon and the water is two 2 gallon containers.
I also have a A/T fuel can holder on the back.

Jeff, I'm really curious about these containers and your set-up looks like a great use of space. How are your Rotopax attached to the bottom of the cab-over? Did you use their factory mounts or design your own?
