Thoughts? I will have to look closer but been tossing this up in my head... might not work, but i sort of like the idea even though i would have to take the cans off to open the hatch.

Get a junkyard stock XJ tire carrier and fab something up.

This is one I made and used the tire carrier mount so it swings out.

Yep, even if you run a stock tire carrier you have to move the plate..
I had 2 parts jeeps here with them and both moved there plates..

No, I only run both cans off-road so it does not matter.

I had also thought about welding a wrangler type bumperettes (however u spell them.. round loop bumpers they got type thing) to my bumper. When i need fuel can strap it and go..might be better than doing it to the hatch that way.. but i thought putting it on the hatch would keep it higher in the back.. either way have to take can off to open rear. I might check into that tire carrier thing and modify it to just hold cans maybe modify it to hold them like Ford guy has them. I just figure that i do not have a welder (although i need to learn and get one ) that i could just use jerry can holders thru bolted into the rear hatch against a backing plate of some sort to distribute the weight somehow when carrying the fuel cans (like on a mojave trip and such).
