Default Gas Cans

I need to put some gas cans on my JK and I wanted some ideas from people that have done it. I don't really know whats available. I already have a smittybilt xrc rear bumper and there is no mount for a gas can. While I'm at it where can i mount a fire extinguisher?



Thank You in advance

There are some basic holders that you'd have to bolt to the body, or there is the OR-Fab tire carrier that accomodates gas cans without changing the rear bumper.
Lots of options for extinguisher, mount to roll cage, mount on side of seat frame, etc... Use the search tool and you can find lots of pictures of these.

A cheepie way, I have this Jerry Can Holder Tray bolted on the trunk floor. Provided the roof is off, or at least the rear window is out, fumes from the can aren't a problem. 4WD part# 1544 http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=4361
