And it looks a helluva alot better than the bling bling Home Depot piece part set up.

Also what is securing your gas cap? Nothing? bad design IMHO

He's in California. The stupid cans that are forced upon those who live in that oppressive state tend to influence the design of the holder.

Look at any CARB compliant fuel can and you'll see a difference between the NATO/Wedco style and the Scepter CARB compliant variant he shows in his pics.

I got a DOT compliant Scepter CAN mounted in mine and the strap covers the cap better than it does on the NATO one pictured.

DAMN

Nobody has yet come up with the design I was telling everyone. Crap, their all over Jeeps and other rigs.

And it doesn't have to just be a can holder. It could be used for all sorts of stuff and would be just above a rear end traffic accident

Like the old Conifer rubicon rack that goes over the top of the spare and the jerrys cans were mount on each side. That would be great but those never had a way where the jerry cans cap was secured.

Hey this set up I'm doing right now only cost me $100 bucks including the brand new olive drab Scepter can. With DOT Compliant vented no spill cap and there is no way to remove the cap until you unlock the strap that holds it in the cradle.

Personally, I wasn't worried too much about securing the cap, but it's a good idea to be able to lock it down.

If you take the one you posted above and made a bar that clamped to the leg of the A-frame post that goes up from the bottom of the tire carrier and then have a plate welded at the end to accept different "attachments" it would be cool. And yeah it would be like those racks, except only one.

You could then mount the holder that you posted to that plate. Take that off if you don't need that, and put a different attachment like a high-lift mount, basket, or some other convenient mount. Simple bolt-ons once you have the piece of 2x4 tubing cut at the right angle and welded up.

Are you talking about something like this (from a jeep catalog)?
