Upon further research I determined that with the full weight of the Jerry Can being 45 lbs I have decided to tie this set up into the top tailgate hinge as to better secure the weight and prevent any flexing that could potentially snap the bolt heads loose. Once I get it mounted I will add more photos. This is a hand crafted prototype design so if it works as I believe it will and you are interested in having one for yourself, I will try to come up with a fair yet reasonable cost for purchase.

I think it's a bit early to ask if people want one, when we haven't been able to see what you are cooking up! Come on, humour us with a pic, even just one that shows where you were planning on putting it with the first bracket.

That's kind of what I was thinking too, that a simply bottom mounted unit would not hold up, but was sure hoping to see some photos even to see where it was going to be mounted. So how will it work to tie into the stock bumper as well as the hinge? Will you still be able to open the tailgate?
