Default Gas can rack

Does anyone make a fuel can rack that will bolt-on to my stock '09 2-door X? I've seen some cool ones that also incorporate a storage rack and seem to bolt on over the spare tire. I would prefer a no-drill, bolt on setup for now. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Well there is a company is making a spare tire strap-on fuel cans holders and also another company been making a single fuel can holder to add to your spare tire mount. However I would not feel comfortable adding additional weights IF your spare tire is still mounted to the factory tailgate location. Due to the weakness of the tailgate sheet metal.

Aftermarket bumper with fuel can carrier would be the best way to do it.

As MBATF says, you need to be careful of the weight you put on the tailgate.
