Default Jerry Can Rack

I have been trying to find a jerry can rack to go on the back gate of my JK. I can't seem to find one anywhere. Am I not looking hard enough???
IF you know of a good jerry can rack for the JK, please let me know!
Thanks,
Don

There are actually quite a few threads. Plus, a number of after-market bumpers offer various options to carry fuel. You might browse this Google search of JK-Forum ...

Do you have anymore pics of this and how things attach to it, like the Jerry can? This seems like a good product. How hard is it to remove when rotating the spare?

i got rid of the factory device to use to lock this in placce and bought 2 receiver hitch locks, one for the I-rack and one for the high lift jack, it just slides on and off when you pull the pin out, then just undo the bolts holding the bracket and your spair tire on, too easy, also there is room to put a back up / tailgator light there also, just make sure to put disconnects there for future removal with the spair change out. i removed my flexible insulation so you can see there wires better.

Looks like a good solution. Where can I get those hitch locks? Also would the irack allow me to mount a jerry can using something like this?



I have a plastic Jerry can so the only wait to mount it would be with the above holder.

I read in some post that the Irack will not work with factory wheels... the center hole is too small.
