I didn't want to hijack Mortons Rancho thread so here is a derivitive: If any of you have figured a jerry can carrier for the rancho rear out, please post some pics. I'm considering switching to this:
It would provide a better foundation for a jerry can rack I think and it has rear winch mount not to mention the functionality of the spare carrier itself.
This is another great bumper but they are both serious coin and I understand that is the original reason for buying the Rancho. Cheap and reliable, but the weight limit is still the issue and we have decided we now have a need to be able to haul more stuff as we hit the trails for more time including over night.
:
Any jerry can ideas are welcome as I do love my Rancho bumper!

 

Use one of these:

Mounted this way:

 

The bumper that you have posted first is an Olympic bumper not a Rancho.

Thanks Robar. I meant that I have a Rancho and was considering switching to one of the others.

 

Those are cool and I like how yours is mounted. Thanks for the heads up!

 

depends how many cans you wanna carry too. here is my set-up thus far.

 

that looks good!!!!

 

Keep in mind the Rancho rear carrier is only rated for up to 100 lbs. With your 35" spare, maybe a Hi-Lift, and a full Gerry can, you're going way over that.

I have the Rancho rear, and for what I needed, it fits the bill perfectly. Having said that, I have a freind who purchased it in hopes of mounting his 40" spare. Uh, no. There's definitely a reason it's rated at 100 lbs.

 

personally I'd be afraid of having the gerry can in the back. Maybe because I've been rear ending and also backed into a few trees on the trail. Last thing I need is a gas leak.

I have the OR-Fab tire carrier on order and I really like how it protects the gerry cans.
