Hey everyone - My son & I are just about to take off on a camping trip in Death Valley where the distances require auxiliary fuel. We're taking his 2001 XJ that has stock bumpers, no hitch, and factory roof rack rails. We're going to bring my big military plastic fuel cans from my JK, and realized last-minute (I know, duh) that the XJ has no way to mount them outside. We'd also love to put his 33" spare up on the roof, but in a pinch that can go inside, unlike the gas.
Our problem is we are seriously poor here and could scrape up maybe $50 max if we have to buy something. So my question is does anyone know of a cheap clever solution to securely mount the fuel cans on the roof, and hopefully also the spare? They have to stand upright. They are the Scepter military-only non-DOT 20L plastic jerry cans.
