I have a Gamaviti rack on my 8Frontrunnerit. I just got a front runner jerry can holder to carry my two gas cans. I figure I am going to have to be creative mounting it on the round bars. has anyone else mounted the Front runner twin gas can carrier to round bars?
how do I mount front runner gas can holder to round roof bars?

Yup, U bolts. Will most likely have to drill new holes to match the U bolts.

Well that sucks. I got it all installed with U bolts. New holes drilled and it mounts great. But the nuts hit the gas can. I think I need to do button head bolts and run them down so the button head is near the can. That is how front runner has it set up. But I will need something like 40mm bolts and then something to go under the round lode bars.
Go to a hardware store and find some electrical conduit clamps. They are attached with a single bolt that holds the clamp on and another bolt that squeezes the clamp shut. They come in a variety of sizes one of which should fit around your rack bars. Use an Allen head button screw to attach the clamp to the bottom of the tray.
I use plasti-dip on them to stop them from scratching and stainless steel hardware. I'd probably use 4 of them to hold your tray. They're plenty strong for non-structural use like this.

I run a round bar rack on my 100 and frankly hate it. Very difficult to mount accessories and tie down cargo. However, I was able to mount everything using high strength aluminum shaft collars. I just drilled and tapped them for 1/4" SS screws. Works, but an extrusion rack with T slots like FR or Labrak would be worlds easier. I'll make the switch when I have time. Let us know what you come up with!
