Jerry can mounting options?

[H3HummerLineX]

I'm looking at mounting jerry cans to the rear door. My concern is about weight. I know that it's able to carry larger spare tires but with the added weight of the cans on each side, one for water and one for gas will it hold up? Has anybody else done this and how does the door hold up to the weight? Any photos?

This is kind of discussed here and here one I found that I want

Here is what I use. They are rotopax gas cans. I really like them. The best part is that I just undo the strap when I don't need the kit. It takes about 1 minute to remove and about 2 minutes to install. Both cans sit upright on a shelf in my garage when not being used.

Are those strapped around the spare?

yeah they are strapped. I only have them on when going out on the trails. Otherwise they sit in my garage. for a more permanent solution i would just remove the mounting brackets from the strap and mount the cans on the rack on the roof. I prefer to mount them this way because its convenient for me. I'm not too worried about theft since I am with the hummer whenever they are strapped on.

Makes perfect sense. Function is what you're after anyway

I made one that bolted on using the bolts from the spare tire mount. I carried two military gas cans on it full all the time. never had any issues or sag and I wheeled it hard with those on there. I couldn't get the pic loaded on here but its under my gallery

I'm looking at the Roto X containers and mounting brackets. They look really good and the containers come in many sizes. I can pretty mutch mount anywhere I see fit, inside and out. Of course protrolium product would go on the outside.
