A couple of thoughts...Rotopax containers could be laid flat on top of the Gobi, if that's the clearance issue you cite.Any suggestions on the best way to attach a Jerry Can or Rotopax to my JLU? I just installed a Gobi rack so maybe up top is the best way to go? Would hurt clearance though since I'd like to leave it attached all the time.
Nice one, but I'd rather not block any of the windows. Here's a tailgate mount for the JK:

Any idea if that would work on the JL? That would be ideal since it would be so accessible there.
If I put it on the roof rack, does anything come to mind for securing it there?
That's a good option. Here's another one I just found:

Yeah they look nice but seem to require a new bumper like you said.

How secure would you say they are? I'm really torn between AEV (speculation) and LOD.
In case you wanted another view of the @lodoffroad bumper with jerry can mount. I love it personally.
I love the first option, and way better than removing my window and adding a more built in piece. Removable and no drillling with a roof rackA couple of thoughts...Rotopax containers could be laid flat on top of the Gobi, if that's the clearance issue you cite.
Here's were you can find hardware that might have you installing the can in front of the driver's side rear window, soft or hard top

Here's a video on a guy you did that. It would involve integrating your Gobi, which depending on your design, I think you'd be smart to factor in the likelihood/frequency with which you see yourself raising the Gobi and the implications this could have on your install attached to it. I think his design is smart but I do not endorse placement of same on the passenger's side back window as I believe it can affect safety/visibility.
Here's product all assembled. I'm not sure if it's JL compatible, costs a small fortune, necessitates a hard top, and necessitates drilling through that hard top, which IMHO would be a darn shame and unnecessary considering you already have the Gobi rack, and might have been attracted to it precisely because it was a "no holes necessary to drill" install.
I needed a rack before the Gobi was **available** . I ended up making my own roof rack and attaching my fuel pack connecting to it, and down the driver's side back window.
** Gobi had the rack out, but it was backordered at the time I needed it.
I’ve had no issues with them at all they seem very secure to me.How secure would you say they are? I'm really torn between AEV (speculation) and LOD.
