Currently I'm running no spare tire but still have my factory tire carrier on and I am in need of having a extra gas on my jeep. Is there anyone out there that has a recommendation for an inexpensive way to mount a gas can, Jerry can, rotopax on my factory tire carrier. I'm trying to do this without spending a lot including buying the gas can

I'm not sure I want it inside of the vehicle. If I do something inside of the vehicle ill just get a nicer standard gas can and strap it down.

What rear bumper are you planning to get? Why not just wait and get gas when you get that bumper/carrier?

Gas was recommended not required, I believe, now its a necessity. I could be wrong but no big deal, ill get a standard 5 gallon so I know vapors wont get out.

And my whole build started only two months prior to it so I guess everything was kinda last minute :)

Just get a few ziploc baggies and a bungee cord. :thumb:

The Rebel one posted above was the one I was thinking of.

Yeah that looks nice but I'm already over my budget for my jeep oops lol. So I need to not spend hardly anything or else I won't make it back from the JKX haha. Plus this will probably be the only time I will ever really "need" extra gas.

I'd be looking at a way to mount some rotopax on the tailgate. The 37" spare will take up a lot of room in the back along with everything else you will have with you on the JKX.

Is it only five gallons that is needed? If more that's a lot of gas cans inside....

What atch and ttfhell said. I would look into other alternatives. If 100 dollars is going to make or break you I wouldn't recommend going at all.

Get something like this: http://www.quadratec.com/products/12202_3000.htm

Then fab up a bracket to mount it to your tailgate.

Why do you still have your factory carrier anyway? You are not throwing that 37 Nitto on there anytime soon. :thinking:

Running with no spare on the tailgate. I will have the spare standing up in the back strapped down. It's not that the $100 will break me it's the fact that I will probably never use it other than for this and I'm sure a 5 gallon is going to be enough.
