I have been tring to come up with a way to mount a jerry can on my rig where I could just leave it attached and easily refill it and siphon it out. I would use it to fill small equipment on my jobsites. The only way it will work and still allow the tailgate to open is to mount it to the spare. But, I dont want that to be the first thing to hit if (knock on wood) I ever back into something.
Mounting it to: the gobi bed rack is too high, the left of the tire covers the latch, right gets smushed when you try to open the tailgate. The only other option I can think of is to move the "A" part of the tire carrier toward the left or right ( which moves the tire off center) and then mount a can next to the tire on either side.
If I were to do this, I would probably move the tire toward the swing away joint so there wouldnt bee additional force added too the joint.
Any other ideas that dont require moving the spare???
