Default Another Use For FreedomTop Carrier
I was wondering how to install a Fuel Caddy System to my Expedition One Rear Bumper. So happens A flat fuel pack that I've owned since 1998 fits perfectly into the Mopar Freedom Top carrier. It looks like two can fit side by side.

Yeah you take your spare off and attach a plate onto tire carrier. Then reattach your spare and center the plate. I don't use my hardtop in summer so I thought of a use to at least use the carrier.
Thus setup will fit any Jeep!!

So far over 500 miles on my journey to Deadwood Sd and the carrier is working well as a fuel pack holder. This weekend will be putting it through some harder trail riding tests

Better hope some dumb ass doesn't rear end you with a big 4X4!

I got it several years ago when a company called Kimpex who makes ATV products!
I think RotoPacs makes them now

Well after a great week of jeeping with new great friends, the fuelpack worked great flawlessly being strapped down for over 1500 miles on and offroad combined
