Default Tire/Gas Can carriers

I'm looking into getting a rear tire and gas/jerry can carrier; specifically ones that carry the blitz type of gas cans. I've considered the ORFab and LOD gen3 rear carriers. I would get the ORFab, but after installing a stinger front bumper and the ORFab carrier, I'm not sure if my Jeep would even fit into my garage (length-wise). Also, I'm not exactly keen on that rear T-bar that holds down the spare. The LOD carrier is good, but I would have to install an entire new rear bumper; I was planning on keeping the stock one.

Anyone else got suggestions and/or pics of their tire/gas carriers?

The AEV option is one I've also considered. If only the gas tank wasn't so expensive at $329!

Hanson can rack extends 19" from the tailgate. 23" with the upper basket.

Essentially adds the over length equal to a gas can and tubular bar, similar to the ORFab carrier. Buuut, no body drilling involved, which is extremely attractive!
