Anyone have any ideas/tips/photos of homemade gas can holders. I have the Warn rear bumper w/ tire carrier and was trying to come with a solution to carrying more fuel.

Think thin? Saw these at the local offroad show last weekend. 4 gals of slim mounted fuel containment. cool mounting lug system too, which could easily be adapted to factory or aftermarket roof rack or hatch, as well as spare tire mount.

I really like that,we are going to Ouray,Co in July,and gas is all weve talked about lately.Gas might get hard to find(or buy) since TTORA also has an event that week!
 
Those thin gas cans are sweet!

What would be even cooler would be to mount two of them flat on a roof rack. Add a cap with a valve on it and a hose coupling. Then when you need to fill up, just hook up the hose and open the valve!

Add something like this to the cap:

Forget about building a can holder for the rear bumper. Put these two together on my roof rack and that is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the input XJEEPER and Markos!

Sweet! Let us know how it turns out!
 
I'd make a 3/8" solid steel box to hold the can, with some Major locks... 5 Gal of gas is some Valuable crap !
 
I recommend to buy it from ebay or Amazon that would be better then your home made. And you can save your time.
