Me either, but I thought about this so I can attach my spare axle shafts to it.

I'll have to remember this if I ever mount 37s on my D30.

Most aftermarket bumper/tire carrier offer ways to do this anyway. The only attraction might be price, if you want to carry something you don't mind loosing on the trail too much.

I bought chromolys front and rear for the Rubicon, I'm going to carry my stockers trail spares. I'm trying to figure out the best method.

Not sure if I should build a box and carry them inside, or have something welded onto my Hanson bumper.

PVC pipes with caps make great carriers for extra axles, and you can get them in black and strap them to your roof rack.

NOW QUIT HIJACKING MY POST!

I like how the gerry can is taking up the same space as the spare tire. Most of the "tire carrier mount" can holders seem to put them to the sides, helping to make the rear window mostly useless.
