Gas Tank Holder On Factory Swing Away

[Mr. I - Man]

Will do, this weekend.

[PARAGON]

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.

thanks mr. I

[drmiles]

Thanks, I've got on failure in the garage now. Hope this will do the trick..

Do you think it would fit with a 37" tire?? for the spare that is?

It can with some modification there is alot of extra metal to work with on the jerry can mount.

Do you have a SUT, then you would have to modify the bracket over 1/2" to the left

However you will have mount the can up higher , becuase you still have to have access to the release paddle.

If you have the SUV you can probably mount it on the Right side instead( cant do that with the SUT because the tailgate wont go down)

Or worst case scenario pop the cap off the jerry can before you lock it into carrier the plastic can might flex around the tire.

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

no, I don't think so. I posted a picture I thought here before let me see if I can find what I am talking about.

This is closer to what I was thinking. Higher up and over to the side so you still have visibility out the middle. But instead have a brace angling up from the angled brace going up to hold the tire. and have a vertical brace directly under the gas can carrier. I think you could only get one on the driver's side because the rear won't open if it's on the pass. side.

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

So to take the tank on and off do you have to also open the swing away tire carrier? How many times has the bracket hit the tailgate so far?
By the way the "bling, bling" look is for a better photo. We have sold quite a few of these so far. thanks.

mmm Lets see I wheeled the piss outta my truck out west for two weeks and it didn't hit the tailgate once (though I really don't know how it ever would ). Yes you have to open the tire carrier to take it off, however that double as second layer of security since I have drilled a hole in the pin detent to fit another padlock. So if the carrier can't open you can't steal the can. Still yours looks like ****, is unsecure and over priced. I can't to see one so I can take a drunk piss in it. Why you ask because there is nothing stopping from doing so. Don't try to reinvent the wheel Chump!
