Default Spare gas can carrier

I want to carry an extra can of gas but I don't want to go with an aftermarket bumper. Anyone know of any carriers designed to work with stock bumpers/tire mount?

OR-Fab makes a great tire carrier that mounts to the body and it holds 2 gerry cans. It works perfect with the stock bumper.

I haven't done this myself yet but this is what I'm thinking about; I'm not sure if it will work or not.

A "trail dutybBlitz gas can spare tire carrier"; use just the mount, not the gas can carrier:

Then use a Rotopax mount to attach to that:

Then a couple rotopax gas cans to attach to that, better than a metal can?

I'm not 100% sure whether the trail duty spare mount will fit thru the hole of a Jeep wheel.

Last time I tried the i-rack, it would not fit through the stock spare rim. Center hole is not wide enuf.

The Trail duty looks interesting. I know the I-rack is not designed to work with the stock wheel. I'm also looking at the EZ-Rack by Rock slide engineering. I want to see what others have come up with to use before I put money down on a system.
