Re: Gas Tank Holder On Factory Swing Away
What happens anytime you get rearended? I fabricated it and can make more in steel or Stainless Steel which is what this one is done in. It will work with the Septor water tank as well.

Re: Gas Tank Holder On Factory Swing Away
If you get rearended by anything ither than a semi they will go under us or hit lower than the tire carrier in most cases.

Re: Gas Tank Holder On Factory Swing Away
The way I designed this one is for the factory swing away only. I can redesign for what I see on a lot of 2003 and 2004's. The problem is that the engagement side of the carrier isn't really long enough. I can do a double on top of the factory holder and a high lift. I am designing a high lift set up for the right rear seperate from the can carrier. Let me know if anyone is serious. The shop that is making them for me in steel is charging $300 each if I order 10 more.

Why did you even look at this post? Have you ever been off road and seen a Jeep maybe? They have been running around with cans hanging off the back for a very long time. And they are much lower. It is a risk you may not want to pursue. Good luck on the street.

Send me a few photos and I will see what I can do. A one off will probably cost you $500. Does that work?

Won't work. Protrudes too far forward and will not allow tire carrier to close. Tank and holder would crash into the H2 hatch.

Works on mine! Try mounting it with the can pointing outboard Jackass
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.

Re: Gas Tank Holder On Factory Swing Away
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.
