Trailer Fuel Jug Rack

[Spimothy Leary]

Thinking of getting myself a fuel jug rack for christmas.

I have two of the VP Cans

I'm looking at some of the ebay option... kind of pricey, not afraid to spend the money but I'd like to get a good quality product.

Anybody purchased one lately? Happy with it?
The Fly Rack and the Prarie view rack are what I have found so far on fleabay, both about 100 shipped.

i know you like a good value what bout one of these, and you don't have to use the hitch tube, you can just attach to your trailer

ya, I thought about that, and the double hitch deal i've seen before....

I could use this along with a rack, and what would be nice is when I don't need to bring fuel then I just won't bring the rack)
but then I still have to strap them down.
I have a welding buddy and asked him about making me one out of a bed frame but its pretty much the same cost as just ordering one that is designed for it.
Hell, I'm still looking for one of these... and it hasn't turned up either. (I've seen them that are 23" deep, just high enough for my cans which are only 21". All the ones I find retail are the 18" versions, not deep enough for cans.

I use the same fuel can, and I love it. I actually found a plastic "tool box" that was lockable and had a tray for my keys and spark plugs. It is just big enough to hold 1 VP can in the center and I keep a gallon jug of XPS oil next to it. I also use it to store my life jackets etc.

It was still kind of expensive. I will see if I can find a pic.

hmm, you know I had forgotten about the poly boxes, my old double had one similar to that, but it was about an inch short, I kept life jackets and a small assortment of tools, not much more.. But ya.. if I can find a tall enough one, that would work nicely, and doesn't add much weight to the tongue... thanks for the reminder.

im in the market for a gas can rack of some sort as, but i have the Tuff Jugs not the VP racing cans (very similar) but with some pretty cool features that VP doesnt offer.

My dilema is i have a box on the tongue of my two place trailer already and im trying to add a gas rack for 2-3 cans AND i want to make a little spot for my Honda 50 pitbike..It would be cool to see other peoples setups with trailer boxes and gas racks etc to give Spim, myself and others some ideas.
