Jerry can mount for FJ45 (7 Viewers)

[Angelo]

Hello.
I'm looking for the best gas can to mount on the back of my FJ45 (pickup) without losing tail gate function.
Any suggestions?

The 4 Plus tire carrier comes with a basket sized for a Yeti45 that you can set 3 carry jerry cans in. It swings out of the way to access the tail gate.

Not sure what your truck has for a bumper but the 40s have a cross member that the bumperettes and step were bolted too. The center plate bolts to the hitch mount and then I just drilled the other 8 1/2" holes to finish bolting it to the frame.

Reach out to Dave Gore and see if it will work with the FJ45.

I would put it on a pivot on the outside so when the tail gate is down the can will remain vertical. Have a pin to lock it in place so it doesn't rattle. I hate can mounted on the side that limit tree clearance.

I also hate gas cans so I did a 12.5 gallon aux tank mounted behind the rear axle. It fueleed on the same side as the main. I put a switch on the fuel gauge and found a balance with 2% resistors to get the gauge to read from E which was empty to 1/2 which was full.

For a simple old school can, there are a number of basket options that you can mount inside the bed. Are you trying to avoid putting the can inside the bed?

This is what one of the LC companies attached to the spare tire using a lug mount adapter

How about a 5 gal can and a bungee cord inside the bed?
