Front Runner Outfitters (Front Runner) released its 20-liter Pro Water Tank with Mounting System. Its low profile makes it an easy-to-handle solution for carrying water during vehicle travel and an additional size option to Front Runner’s product lineup.
This 5.3-gallon water tank allows users to free up valuable room on their racks without sacrificing volume or features. The mid-sized tank is appropriately sized for smaller roof rack cargo trays where space is limited, or for adding volume to additional water tanks for larger-scale travel plans. The water tank comes out of the box with a mounting bracket system, lockable tap and the hardware required to mount to a Slimline II roof rack system.
The Tank is made of food-grade, BPA-free polyethylene and incorporates two passthrough holes in the tank body for added structural integrity and easier handling when removing the tank from the rack. A powder-coated steel wraparound bracket provides secure transport and mounts easily to Slimline II roof rack systems with a latch that includes a safety catch.
Both the mounting bracket and water tap are lockable via a small accessory lock that is sold separately. The included tap is threaded and can be swapped with other half-inch threaded fittings to accommodate hoses for relocating the water tap in a customizable configuration.
So I have many front runner products. I have a different water “jug” system. It mounts to the side of my roof rack. When in sunlight it heats up for showers and cleaning of hands/other items. It’s nice for after a trip to the beach or a long overland trip. These jugs are great except when you try to get a jug to the top of your truck or suv. Also it throws off your center of gravity. But it’s nice to have water on demand that isn’t hot or in a spray hose that forces the water out so hard that you cannot fill up anything that is not made of a hard plastic or metal.
