...how to install this or get this on the spare tire with the Rotopax mounting bracket? I can't get a clear answer from anyone including Quadratec, which is where I found the picture. Thanks for the help.

It's a Rotopax gas can as well as a Rotopax mounting bracket. I just have absolutely no idea how it's mounted on the spare. The picture for the mounting bracket leaves a lot to the imagination.

Thanks for the link. Is there unusable space between the tire and mount?

The one from Olympic actually slips over the spare tire studs and then you mount the spare over it. Not a bad setup if you only need one can.

Definitely. It just looks like there's a pointless 6 or so inches of nothing between where the spare ends and the mounting bracket begins.

You mount the back half of the bracket put the wheel on then the front half of the bracket. The bracket has to break down into two pieces some how. Some have pull pins others bolts. Might be tight because of powder coat try smacking it with a rubber mallet to get it apart. That would be my guess because I don't own one.

Thanks for the input. I don't know of anyone who actually has one.
