A great way of carrying gas, water, and other items not suitable inside on your truck.
By using GoWesty water spout and pointing the container downwards, water can be served in seconds. There are 2 gallon water and gas containers made by Rotopax which can be mounted sideways as in photos, or upright as in Xterra photos.
This 38 by 14 inch aluminum panel is 3/16" thick and weighs 9.4 lb.
It will fit most truck beds by either using bolts directly to a flat area, or by using round mounts to attach to tubing, like in the photos on Nissan Frontier. If you have a truck bed rack similar to the one in photos, then this panel can be mounted.
The last 3 photos show usage of another Sherpa on Nissan Xterra.
Xterra 2000-2015 has its own Sherpa listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1195568453
Pathfinder 2005-2012 is waiting for the first buyer, but it needs aftermarket roof rack: http://roxterra.com/pathfinder/sherpa/
Feel free to contact me with any questions!
What you are buying is the aluminum panel to mount Rotopax containers to Xterra. What is not included is anything Rotopax: containers, and container mounts. The bottom of the following link has links at the bottom of its page for buying Rotopax gear, and as it says, compare Rotopax/GoWesty/Amazon prices for those: http://roxterra.com/x/sherpa/
* available in powder coated black, or in bare aluminum where you paint it yourself
* water container can be used while mounted, spout pointing down
* gasoline container has spout pointing up, avoids spills
* side mounted liquids should not experience as much extreme weather as roof mounted
* square holes are already cut for two 2 gallon RotoPax containers side by side. The regular/deluxe/locking RotoPax mounts use square holes, and nuts on the back of the panel (mounts/bolts/nuts come with RotoPax mounts)
* in the photos the RotoPax containers are 2 gallons each. Smaller ones would fit on the same mounts (like 1 gallon, 1.5 gallons)
Construction
* Fits either driver or passenger side,
* However, to move it from side to side you will have to re-install the Rotopax containers after moving
* Aluminum panels won't rust and weigh around 10lb
* Feel free to contact us about where to get 1.75 or 2 inch round mounts
Usage
* all holes (slits and X shapes) are 1/4 inch wide, allow for attaching your own bolts for future accessories
* wide hole strips, vertical and horizontal, allow for strap attachments
* 4 hole square pattern on main panel is for Rotopax mounts (2 1/8 inch square holes fit the square Rotopax bolt mounts)

Canadian buyers: there are times when combining shipping is an option, to save on your shipping cost. Currently mid December will be the shipping time to British Columbia, and other east/west coast opportunities come up all the time. Let me know if you're ready to buy but the shipping cost is discouraging, or not showing as an option on any of our listings.
