Jerry Can Mounts For USMC 1978 Cans Smittybilt SRC Bumper/ Tire Carrier
Hey fellow jeepers! I was wondering if anyone had rigged up a simple jerry can mount for the Smittybilt SRC rear bumper and tire carrier? I just got two 1978 USMC Jerry cans at a garage sale and need a way to mount them to my jeep. I dont like the I-Rack system since I want the cans to be next to the tire on each side like this []O[] with the O being the tire and the [] being the cans. I've also heard that the rock hard mounts work but they are pretty expensive considering I got the cans for $2 a piece. If possible I'd like to avoid cutting into or welding to my tire carrier in case I decide to take the whole setup off. Anyone do anything like this? And if so how did you pull it off.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
