And please make a gas can carrier that mounts to the tailgate hinge or spare tire that fits through the hole in the stock tire!

Smitty built has the i-rack but it doesn't fit through the center of the stock wheel.

A lot of us want to carry a gas can without having to buy a swing out carrier.

 

Maybe I am not understanding this?

People are going to aftermarket bumpers/carriers because the stock tailgate and hinges are weak, but you want to add a full gas can also? If the stock setup can't support a spare tire without failing, how will it support a spare and a full gas can?

Just go with an OR-Fab setup...

 

Not true. I had a springtail rack with an axe mounted on the inside and a gas can mounted with the trail master bracket and a heavy steel wheel on the outside, all on the stock tail gate for 30K miles... and my tail gate is perfect.

Now that I have gone back to stock wheels that gas can mount no longer fits through the center hole on the stock wheel.

 

Turned my Rampage Hi-Lift bracket (which I didn't like at all) into a jerry can holder. So far I have used it full of gas and gone off-road a bunch of times and is holding pretty good (including the gate ).

Do you have a write up or pics of how you did this?

 

Also can you still open the tailgate all the way with the gas can mounted like this?

 

It opens to exactly 90deg

 

So it doesn't hit the tail light? Any pics of how you modified it to mount the gas can?

 

Sorry man, I didn't do a write up but basically this is the material you need:

- Rampage hi-lift mount (this is probably not the cheapest way of doing it but like I mentioned before, I bought it for my hi-lift but after running it for a couple of months I really didn't like all the extra rattling and not being able to park the jeep inside the garage).

- Jerry can holder. Generic I got at 4wheel parts.

- Jerry can. 5 gallon from 4wheel parts.

- 2 3/8" or 1/2" hex screws (can't remember which ones), nuts and washers. Use these to hold the jerry can mount into the rampage base.

All I did was:

- Install the rampage bottom bracket.
- Drill two 3/8" or 1/2" holes on the bottom of the jerry can holder. Make sure you make the holes so they align with the openings of the rampage bracket.
- Attach the jerry can holder to the rampage bracket, use a bunch of washers to close the gap (you can see it in the pics I posted on the other thread) between the bracket and the jerry can holder.
- Add some rubber inserts between the jerry can holder and the jerry can as needed to prevent rattling.
- Strap with a ratchet strap
- You are done

 

Sweet man, thanks! Think I'll give this a whirl.
