Thanks for sharing that Corey, looks like we went down a similar path. By eliminating the winch in my setup it gave me room for about 4 more gallons of fuel it seems in the same space but I have to crawl under and lay on my back to get mine in and out. Like you said, not a big deal compared to a very long walk!
Obviously we both wound up putting fuel under there but it could be water in those cans, or perhaps I could carry a couple with diesel for the van and one with gas for the ATV, chainsaw, stove, flamethower or whatever else I choose to bring along.
