Default Rotopax spare tire mount?

Welcome back from Moab everyone...I had a blast!
While I was in Moab I saw a spare tire mount for the rotopax spare fuel that went through the center of the spare tire carrier. It had a T that split it across the spare tire and then you could attach the rotopax cans side by side across the back of the spare tire. I have seen a mount, by Olympus I believe, that does this but the cans just stack directly behind the spare instead of side by side across it.
I wish I had taken a closer look but I was being sandblasted by the wind at the time and I never saw it again.
I am running the PSC RockBrawler and tire carrier rear bumper BTW.
If anyone has seen this, or has any other suggestions on mounting this way please let me know!!

BTW, this is more for long trail treks where spare fuel might be needed.

LOL...no. The cans were on the outside of the spare tire. Ive seen that one, and it looks great, I'm very happy with my PSC system. Just wish I could find a good way to mount spare fuel cans.

I believe you are referring to the new Vector Offroad product. Not sure if they are on this forum though!

You got me a little excited for a moment Shawn lol. Not quite, but it gives me an idea on how to fab one up myself. I guess what I wanted was something that went in place of the Poison Spyder license plate relocation bracket, fit up tight against the spare tire, and be able to mount either 2 RotoPax side by side or 4(2 x 2 stacked) side by side.
If any of you manufacturing types come up with one let me know lol
