Tire/Gas Can carier help needed
I have a 2010 Rubi with a 3"BDS lift and a Rugged Ridge rear bumper and tire carrier. I want to be able to carry 2 5 gallon gerry cans or possibly 2-4 rotopax cans and was looking at the OR-Fab tire/can carrier. I like the idea of the weight being inline with the rear bumper opposed to hanging out from the rear like with the OR-Fab.
So aside from the cheaper route of adding the can carriers to my curent bumper, which is one is a better design or functions better?
Thanks

I have two 5ga cans (fuel+water) hanging off the spare tire on my Smittibuild tire carrier, because a like to have that extra weight to counter-balance my front winch.

I love my ORFAB carrier. Especially since if I back into a tree I dont have to worry about punching a hole in a gas can. It doesnt add as much overhang to your jeep as you might think, also put a 35, cb ant, and a hi lift with zero rattles
