When I saw the Polaris fuel can setup I was underwhelmed so I decided I wanted Scepter cans.

Scepter makes Fuel, water, diesel, and other cans for the military. These are incredibly rugged cans made of very heavy plastic. I've seen pictures of them after they have been driven over by a 4x4 and they still held fuel.

For reasons I won't detail they are no longer shipping them to the USA so if you want one you better act fast. I got mine at Sleeoffroad.com - Toyota SUV Off-Road Outfitters. Slee is well known in the offroad world.

Scepters come in 10L and 20L aka 2.5 Gal and 5 Gal cans. Dimensionally they similar to old style Jerry cans so they fit the carriers we have had for years, you've seen them strapped to Jeeps etc.

I purchased both 2.5 and 5 gal cans. Both fit the same can holder so I can choose which to take on a ride.

I made my own lock-n-ride using a 1" rubber stopper which I drilled and 1"x3/8" nylon spacer, a 2" stainless #10 screw and #10 stainless T-Nut which holds itself into the rubber stopper with barbs.

Two of my lock-n-rides attach the bottom of the can holder (like the polaris can holder) and a third secures the can holder to the side of the bed. The three of them make the holder very solid.

As you can see in the pics the can and holder fits nicely on the side shelf so it will fit with the Polaris cargo box.

I don't wrestle the cans I use a Super Siphon to move the fuel.







Side Lock-n-ride bracket, 1/8" strap steel bolted into the standard mounting holes on the can holder. This is the only piece I had to make. Simply bent the strap and drilled 3 holes. Painted it black.

So how is that RZR doing anyway? I still think I am intrigued by the idea of sitting back in a seat with a seat belt on with a cage and driving the trails. So what are the pros and cons now you have been running it for a while?

I like it a lot.

On the one hand I keep telling myself it probably won't go everywhere I've gone on my ATV, but on the other hand it has taken me places I chickened out on the ATV.

The longer wheel base makes it a great climber. The low center of gravity makes it amazingly stable.

The roll bar boosts my testosterone so the combination has me pushing it on every ride.

I can think of a few places where the width is going to be a problem and a few climbs I generally do on the rear two wheels on my ATV that I might not try but on the whole its a blast to ride.

Dang its fast.

redman, have you taken the limiter out of the primary clutch?.....stroker

I like everything you said about it! My last question is how does the sitting in a seat compare to riding an ATV where you can also utilize the legs as suspension? Does it wear on you body more than riding on an ATV after a long day riding or is it actually easier on you?

Hmm, thats hard to say.
My back seems to like having something to lean against.

Then again without "leg" suspension I pay the price sometimes.

Still I'd have to say at the end of the day I feel better after getting out of the RZR than I did after sitting on the Outy all day.

And my thumb never aches!
