Installed these on my sled today. Took about ten minutes... Easy install, other than drilling holes through a brand new tunnel is difficult... lol. Fitment of the jugs is small, and for those curious... They are strapless. They slide on from one side, which a pin secures them. On the other side the "rail" ends, so they cannot slide off the other side. In other words, they use no straps, look ten times better, and won't come off unless you put them on wrong. Here's some pics.

yup is a great idea
but i dont like the vent plug set up on the cans looked at them at the edmonton show and it looks like they would pop open easy
just my 2cents

if they put a screw cap on them for the vent i would be all over it :beer:

These work great. I have them on my 08 Nytro and I haven't had any problems with them. Its a lot better than straping a can to the back just to loose them over some rough terrain. I rolled my machine and they never came off. I've even used the handles on the cans to help lift the back end of the sled out of a hole.

its a great system. however. ttake the cans off until you need them. i chainsaweed my sled into the snow last year and they poped off and basically comprimised the fitment.

Yeah, I can relate. I like taking my time. It's only on once a year, so i don't like missing anything. I think I was there from 4:00 till 9:30 on Friday lol.

i didnt like that the cans are so small
and the guy i talked to from the stand told me right away if i put the big ones on which they also sell
they dont hold up really well

sounds cool i thought those cans where raguler gas cans you strap on the back i didnt know that they feed the fule tank:d

They don't feed the fuel tank. They're just plain old jerry cans that mount on to two rails. Pretty sweet though. I picked up a set at the show myself.

I bought a set last year. I really like them. They were kinda tough getting them on and off the first couple times so I recommend using some WD40 and sliding them on and off 10 times or so before using them. It would suck having the fuel on your sled but not being able to use it. The first time I had to use a mallet and my foot! Here's a pic of my setup.:beer:
