Default My Can Carrier

Bolt on hitches for these JK's are very affordable & don't hurt your angle of departure much. Also, when I'm packin cans I'm usually doing more trail rides that don't require sliding off of rocks.
As far as the diesel smell in your surplus cans. Frankly, I don't care for the smell of unleaded either. Just fill er up, put the cap on & quit smelling it.

That little bit if diesel isn't going to hurt anything. Just rinse it out with a little gas and fill it up....

excuse the ignorance but how does this setup work, were does it attach to ? did you make it or can i go buy one. that is one of the best solutions i have seen as you dont need a new rear bumper

I think it mounts in the hitch receiver. Could be wrong though. I'm curious about how the tailgate opens too. I have a hitch mounted rack but my tire hits it when I try to open the tailgate, so I have to completely remove it to get into the back of the jeep. Sort of a hassle, but it has been handy to have.
