The company doesn't offer a hinge-mount jerry/NATO carrier for the HD tailgate hinges, but it has been done DIY.

MORryde was showing it a month ago at the Easter Jeep Safari Vendor Expo. There were one or two minor tweaks that needed to be made to the preproduction version before it was ready to be released but it was in very close to final form.
Coincidentally to your question, I've got one here for testing and to be shown at Overland Expo next week where MORryde will be using my Jeep in their display; I'll be installing it today. I'll post photos after I install it.

The rack is next on my list. The hi-lift mount is getting some revisions as my base piece is all bent out of shape with the 60" jack. MorRyde's customer service is taking care of me and shipping it out and addressing my concerns.

I'm prototyping hood hinges to match the tailgate hinges and HD door hinges. I've got a bunch of extra HD door hinges from MORryde here so I'm going to use them and I'm making the body side of the hinges to match the factory hood hinges.
In this photo a pair of the HD door hinges are sitting on top of the factory hinges just to show what they will look like.
The HD door hinges are designed for easy installation/removal of accessories, like the side steps, or the HiLift carrier in this photo:
The same HiLift carrier bolts right in place on the hood hinges:
What's nice about installing accessories on these hinges is that they can be installed/removed without removing the screws that hold the hinges to the doors (or hood), so it's very easy to put the accessories on only when you need them and take them off when you're done with them; for example I run the side steps only when I've got the roof rack on top, which is very part time.
The factory hinges have riveted hinge pins so they're not removable like the door hinges are. Since I'm adapting the door hinges for use on the hood, these can be removable - remove the hinge pin nuts and the hood can be slid off just like the doors. Or, I could make left and a right so they can't be removed without unbolting the hinge base just like removing the factory hinges.
I cut out the hinge base parts but I won't get time to assemble them until I get back from my Arizona trip.

I like the hood hinges. Much betterer idea then the other mount solutions to me. Mounts would quick change without messing with the hinges.
Maybe a relocate kit for the washer sprayers so different things could mount up there without getting in the way. Rubicans, small basket for small items, chairs, fishing rods, etc.
