guys looking to build a jerry can holder that hangs next to spare tyre.
any DIY tips?
Also looking to mount my hi jack lift somewhere. Any suggestions. I thought maybe off the jerry can holder, or on front of bull bar.
Any pics or suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers

jerry can holder
probably not quite what you had in mind but
i have a jerry can holder i picked up from super cheap auto, bout $45 and it connects on to the spare wheel with a couple bolts and a strap.
i am planing to weld a hoop onto it so it will hug the spare wheel and be easier to put on/off, with out all the other junk.

BE WARNED. Even a standard size spare will eventually crack the mounts on the door, adding more weight to this mount will just speed up the process. If you want to mount one, make a mount from the chassis that swings away like a swing away spare wheel carrier.

up at the last servo on the way and take it off and leave it at camp, as the reserve tank for the way home
some bar work is on my wish list
I recently bought a Jerry can with the exact same intention in mind (decided I'd rather put the cost of a long range tank towards a diff lock). But for carrying I'm going to put it inside the tailgate against the tailgate on the inside. I have figured out a method of holding it quite firmly with 3 bungee cord/strap things. I am useless at explaining how I tie it down, if your really interested I can maybe post some pictures up on the weekend.
The type of drives I will take the can with me on, I wont have the rear seats in, of my roof on so I see it as a wokable solution, and it requires no fabrication at all.
Just some thoughts.
Wheeling on completely wicked angles, without even looking stable.

Broken tailgates, worn out hinges, and worst of all if it happens to you, cracked body around the hinges.
This is a total PITA to fix. (I've done it)
Putting another 20kg on the tailgate is the last thing it needs.

ok.
by the time i put two swags in, cooking stuff, tools, and hunting stuff, i am fully loaded.
Could use the space i normally put a jerry in.
Looks like a will look at a swing away.
Most likely put another sort of spare tyre mount on next to the original tyre, for jack and jerry can. Any pics of swing away types i might be able to copy...
cheers

even at 40Kg thats alot of weight .. especially as it quite high against the seat.DavePatrol wrote:it would only be 40kg of fuel and im not traveling with it all the time, its just on big trips and ther empty till the last posible plase to fill up, then thay get filled up and its only i jerrycan most off the time

I don't want to be a hater or a nit picker, but seat mechanisms are not designed to deal with any force in that direction.
Seriously, in even a relatively minor collision this IS going to collapse the seat and cause horrible injuries.
Please don't drive you car like this.
I think I could break a sierra seat with a fair shove from behind.

I don't disagree with your sentiments Steve (I wouldn't drive with a jerry strapped to my seat either) however if you ever do test them, Zook seats are meatier than they look.Gwagensteve wrote:I think I could break a sierra seat with a fair shove from behind.
When I modified mine to sit more upright, I was able to work out that there are 9 engaged teeth on the mechanism at any point in time. After modifying the mechanism, sitting the seat more upright, leaving only 7 teeth engaged in the new position, I bolted the seat back in and gave it some decent shoves from both directions - no problems.
As far as I can work out, the mechanism works exactly the same for force in both directions too. Shouldn't be any weaker pushing forward than pushing back.
