This may be of interest to some folks out there that have an existing tire swingaway system. We need to confirm the over the tire rack for liftgate clearances, but for the immediate the can mount looks to fit very nice. If enough interest, we could offer them in another color powdercoat certainly. (top 3 photos courtesy of EMT Diver, thanks!)
and the over tire rack (hopefully we can confirm clearance soon)
I have offset rims on my X and my spare sits about 1-1/2" forward from the gate uprights. When I was still using my stock rims they sat right up against the uprights. Using offset rims will provide plenty of clearance for attachments. Can you provide brackets for the 2-1/2 gallon version of that gas can? I'm currently carrying 4 on my Confer rack.
Eddie - I just sent you a few more photo's w/ both cans and carriers mounted. They fit but some modifications were needed. Let me know what you think. I'm leaving for Canada in the AM and won't be checking e-mail most of this coming week but let me know your thoughts via e-mail about the new set up I sent you....
thanks again
