So just like the title says... also has anyone used any of these mounts to mount Rotopax onto the Evo tire carrier? OOOORRRRR has anyone mounted them differently with this carrier?

I am thinking that the dual mount would work PERFECT if mounted vertically where the three holes are on the outside of the carrier on both or either side of the tire. Thoughts?

This is my rig and the obvious carrier:

It might work, but you will be blocking the tailights.

Here's how my son mounted two of the 3 gallon Rotopax cans - it took a little modding up, but not much:

Genright makes some tube clamps to mount a hi-lift to their tire carrier. They might work with the evo carrier as well?

I'll have to look and see! I am ordering gen right's license plate light and reverse LEDs to go with my Evo carrier so maybe something else will work! Lol
