Really great write-up! I just wanted to add that I didn’t want to drill any extra holes for my setup. So I added a crossbar that mounts using the existing license plate light holes. This way, it’s still possible to revert to a version without the jerry can if needed.
The whole structure will be painted in body color — just like it was on some 2000s models — and the extra bracket under the jerry can will remain hidden from view.
