Mounting jerry cans
So i thought id kill 2 birds with one stone when im doing this. I've been trying to figure out how to mount jerry cans on my jeep without having to get a new rear bumper. Also I've been looking for a little more storage for when i go camping & everything. So what im going to do is buy a hitch cargo rack that has a storage position so its sitting vertical then im going to mount my jerry cans on the inside of the cargo rack & either get mounts for the can or just strap the 2 cans to the rack. I think it should work pretty well.

If you do not want a new bumper you can always get that or-fab carrier and install a basket on a cargo rack on top of your Jeep. Seems a lot safer and allow to carry more stuff.
Just a thought. This is the route I took. ;-)

I was looking at the over tire racks with the can mounts, but I really don't wanna put 70+ lbs of weight on the tailgate. I've already got 65 lbs in just the tire alone. So I figure ill keep the weight on hitch & fold it up if im doing any heavy offloading.
