Is the spare a problem though? I have not used my hitch carrier on the 3 yet but have used it to transport gas before, works great for that.

I carry 2 5 gal cans on top. They are the military "Jerry" style. I have the screw, airtight seals on them and carry horizontally. Up top I have 2 Thule bars with a 2X4 cradle for them. They are secured with 3 ratcheting tie downs which seem to do fine going down washboard at 40mph in Death valley. I am going to make a welded steel carrier for the roof for the cans, but would really like a rear mounted bumper option. As for putting them on the hitch post, that's fine if you are not going to be offroading. The departure would smash them up.

Good luck.

Hmm... The hitch carrier would probably be the quickest thing. I'll see what I can come up with at the store later. thanks

I'll check it out. Otherwise I'll just tie it to the bumper and drag it home, but I'll need a metal container for that.

The sparks will be real pretty. For a little while at least
