Pics of jerry can mounting options

Looking for smart ways to mount a jerry can. Thanks.

If you ask me, a spare is too heavy for the rear door. I made the tire carrier into a jerry can mount. I can also slide a chainsaw in beside it.

That's a good idea mounting a can on the spare carrier like that. I also like the idea of mounting on on the front bumper, but I don't know about having a giant can of gas mounted on the front of my vehicle. Perhaps the front is better suited for a water can.

I'm not sure how much difference it makes front or rear I always figured I'd get a couple 2.5 gallon jerry cans and mount to the front bumper- one filled with motor oil and water in the other. I have mounted a 5 gallon can inside in the same place the Swiss Army Land Rovers had their's and it works pretty good though some would say it is better off outside due to possible vapors. The Australian army mounted dual jerry cans to th rear of their LRs above where the bumperettes would be.

If you had a 109 3 door you could put compartments in the sides like on a Wolf 110.

I like the combination shoe rack/roof rack ladder.

Shower shoes. If you've slept in some of the campgrounds I have you'd know..... Some pretty scary places out there!

20+ yrs in the Navy, I know the importance of a good pair of shower shoes. Amazing what a simple papertowel can do to a shipboard toilet.

I like the jerry cans mounted to the front bumpers of the First Overland expedition Land-Rovers (see http://www.teeafit.co.uk/firstoverland/). They labeled them as "Gin" on the right can, and "Tonic" on the left can on one truck, and I think Whiskey and Water on the other truck.

I agree that you would not want that much petrol presented to the world in such an exposed manner at the very front of the vehicle, however.

This is not my site but I found this the other day and he has two options for mounting cans to the rear of a Defender. Both are interesting - but I can not say that I am enthusiastic about either. They might be good for getting your creative juices flowing....

And I believe that caused some problems on entry to one of the countries they went through which was dry at the time. I believe they had to pour some of the water out and drink it to the astonishment of the border patrol until they figured the joke out.

Funny stuff!

X2, There is a nothing like brushing your teeth with a guy taking a dump a foot away...it's just nasty. Not much privacy out at sea.

yeah those are run of the mill US army type pressed steel jerry can mounts.

Here's a few more shots of the jerry can mount....in case you feel like doing a custom one...

I will say this mount by itself is about as heavy as a whole spare tire on the back of the door.
