Fuel can mounting

[jrd51ox]

You may or may not find this useful. I have one of Ike Goss's receiver hitches. I am in the process of having a fuel can carrier built that will slide into the receiver tube. It will hold 3 cans plus my high-lift jack. I am going this route because I do not want to mount anything permanently. I did buy a hitch clamp called a Hitch Vise to try to minimize the rattling of the carrier once installed. I will post pictures once it is built but it may be a while yet before it is finished.

Hey Jim, I know you said it might be a while but I just wanted to remind you to post some pics once the carrier is complete. I'm very interested in this setup.

I haven't forgotten but it hasn't been finished yet. I hope to have it soon.

I should be finished with the rack very soon, will also post pics when completed.

I'm picking up my new 1967 from Trevor tomorrow. The jury is still out as to whether I will leave these as gas or change to water cans as riding around with 10 gallons of flammable bumper seems a tad risky. But, I do so like the look.

Does anyone know? Were these after market or oem options? I have never seen the before

Those side mounts look kind of cool but it is surprising how often they get caught up on saplings and other things in the woods. Anyone remember the side mount spares on CJ jeeps?

Yes, I actually have a 3B with a side mount... it's coming off before the tear down.

I thought Jim's (Jim-ME) setup was pretty spiffy...

A receiver mount setup that is incredibly sturdy.

Thanks Mark, I'm working a version now that is a hitch mounted swing out style carrier, same size as Jim's current rack. Some people said they would like a flip down, but I decided to go with a swing out so you have complete access to the rear door of the truck.

if you are looking to sell these Carey, I think I could use one!

Yes, these will be for sale. After the prototype gets thoroughly tested/abused.

I will post pics soon.
