    Nice job man! Did I hear a Dad snap when you were trying to connect your hoses to the pump at the end of the video?

    I love the idea of repurposing the spare tire location while also keeping the weight low. Wish I had known of this before getting my rooftop water setup.

    You’ve got me convinced this is the only way to go. Love to see a setup where you connect two of them together though the Boondocker looks like it’ll sort my issues.
    How do you fill it? How do you know when it’s full?

    • @bfm_overland
      @bfm_overland  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes this is the way! The new boondocker is sick! I would definitely get the boondocker you can fill it without having to take the tanks off.
      Right now I take the tanks off refill and hang back up.

    That’s a really awesome idea to carry 6-12 gal of water and save space. Do you mind providing a parts list, especially for the parts used for the tank? Thanks in advance!

    Great job! Looks like your gonna need NIAGARA Two-Way Hose Saver Shut-off Adapter to connect both tanks.

    Great video. I was thinking of doing something similar before my trip to Big Bend last year, but I ran out of time. Maybe in the future...

    • @RussellPecot

      Any issue with venting the tank while using the pump? Is it strong enough to pull a vacuum?

    • @bfm_overland
      @bfm_overland  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @RussellPecot no issues yet! I was ready to drill a hole on top and put a rubber plug but it seems to be working well without one.

    planning on buying myself a 6 gallon one but have a quick question. what size of spare mounting ring you needed if you do need em? SMALL MEDIUM or LARGE? I do also have a toyota 4 runner 5TH GEN...TIA

    • @bfm_overland
      @bfm_overland  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Awesome! They just released a new model called the boondocker, check it out! It’s sweet.
      I believe it’s a medium for the 5th gen’s. Shoot them an email and double check!

  • @jamesfuentes5688

    Do I have to have the spare tire off in order to mount the 6 gallon spare tire jug or can I mount it with the spare tire already mounted?

    • @bfm_overland
      @bfm_overland  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes sir, spare tire needs to be off!

  • @russm195

    How do you vent for air with that tank? It shouldn’t flow unless there is an air release to replace the water with air.

      I originally had a plan to drill a hole on top and put a rubber plug, but I haven’t had the need to lol don’t ask me but it works

    Does the water get hot after long trips? Any issues freezing?

    • @bfm_overland
      @bfm_overland  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No issues freezing so far, did 2 nights in single digit temps and it was ok 👍
      Water does get warm in summer, especially here in s. Texas

    Thats a lot of work for a water tank. The pump is cool but the tanks are kinda dumb.

    • @bfm_overland
      @bfm_overland  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the comment! The tanks are awesome, especially when your packing a ton of gear and don’t want a big water tank taking up all your space in the back of your truck. Or worry about water spilling on things. But to each their own! Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
