Bolt on hitches for these JK's are very affordable & don't hurt your andle of departure much. Also, when I'm packin cans I'm usually doing more trail rides that don't require sliding off of rocks.
As far as the diesel smell in your surplus cans. Frankly, I don't care for the smell of unleaded either. Just fill er up, put the cap on & quit smelling it.

This mounts into the hitch which prohibits the use of the gate w/o removal. Really hasn't been to big of deal for me. I just have to remember to remove the rear cubby cover when I use it due to the fact that the gate locks it in place and that all of my recovery gear is in there.
Thanks. I love the fact that you don't have to buy a heavy aftermarket bumper as well. I made it myself, using heavt duty hitch tubing for the part that slides into the hitch, and thin wall tubing for the rest. The cans sit on 3/16th steel plates with bed frame angle iron pieces to prevent slipage. 1/8th inch rubber under the cans.
Home made.

if you dont mind could you share with more detail how to make that thing, i would love to create something similar but am not the DIY savvy and would need a for dummies instruction list.
