| Post subject: | How to mount jerry can with spare tire |
I've been trying to find a solution that would allow me to mount a jerry can along with the spare tire on the back door, but can't find anything. Is there anything out there I can purchase, or is this strictly a do it yourselfer? This is the can I'd like to use: http://ca.geocities.com/itsajeepthing@r ... gascan.jpg Thanks all!! |

There's a guy who posts on here that has plans for a two-can holder which fits with the rear tire in place. It mounts to the hitch mount and swings down to open the rear hatch. I can't remember exactly where the post was but if u search around u will find it. I saved the blue prints as a jpeg if u want them - email me. OR - See the next post!

Heres a picture of what Cacher123 is talking about: 
This shows the mount and hinge mechanism: 
And this shows how the cans are held in place on the mount: 
phxtoad is the person who has the set-up and the plans - I'm sure he could get you a copy if you asked. |

How far does it stick out the back? Does it affect departure angle any? |

YES it does effect it. The hitch extension that everything is mounted on is 12" long. So that's probably a few degrees. |

Hi, Can someone email me some of those shots as larger images (and especially the the pdf drawing), so I can get a better look. The first image of the composite shots on http://www.cardomain.com/ride/683398/3 wont load. I think its a great idea, something I can mount when doing long trips. I've been searching the web for something like that. Here in Australia, I can't buy a long range fuel tank for my 06 Renegade (only up to 04 is available), so the only way is to carry jerry cans, but then how do I hold them? I had seen another alternative but it mounted them flat on each side and I think a swing bolted to the vehicle, but that partially covered the tail lights. thanks Stephen stephenmeddings@optusnet.com.au |
