carrying extra gas?

[Pig-Pen]

My wife says i already carry too much gas

ive carried gas cans in the vehicle many times. If your cans are releasing fumes youve got bigger problems…

I am debating getting this fender mounted jerry can holder for my Jeep.

Apparently you can fit two Rotopax in one jerrycan slot.

EDIT:
This one uses Rotopax.

That solution would be OK for Overlanding.. but for rock crawling in tight spaces they seem way too exposed IMHO

My preferred alternative and the one I use is the spare tire mount with the heavy-duty ratchet strap.. easy to install and remove..

Where did you get that mount? That looks nice.

I'm wondering how much that thing will flop around on the trail.

An option that I haven't seen mentioned is AEV's fuel caddy. 10.2 gallons and tucks behind the spare. My JLURD (whenever it gets built) will come with that plus the rest of their JL370 stuff. It might require their bumper, but I'm not sure. If so it'd be pretty expensive.

I carry the Rockslide engineering Rotopax mount on my spare with two 2 gal units and if I need more I have a 3gal Rotopax on the roof rack

It is a TeraFlex Hi-Lift Jack and Rotopax mount. It hi-lift bracket attaches to the tailgate hinges and the Rotopax mount bracket attaches to the Hi-Lift jack cast iron bar. Purchased from Amazon.

It doesn't. It is very rigid.

I just bit the bullet and ordered the Drago mount. It is quite expensive and it was hard to hit the checkout button. I’m surprised no other company has developed a similar solution. It is only for the Mopar hinge reinforcement though. Retrofit off-road has a decent mounting option as well.
