Installing Jerry Can Holder on 2WD?

Hello!

I have a question: on my 2WD Chevy Express Conversion project do you think it is possible to install some kind of Jerry Can holder out over the rear bumper? I don't really want the whole 4x4 mega bumper with tire support...

All suggestions from the DIY experts are welcome

Thanx

They make all kinds of attachments for Jerry Cans. I think a little base tray might work, although it would be in the way of opening the door.



The aluminess spare tire rack that goes with a regular bumper could probably be modified to work somehow. The arm looks the same as what's on the aluminess bumper.

I r special.



Actually the image is offsite, the IMG tag doesn't work pointing at gallery images. Now that the wiki is up I can actually look at the problem...

oh and thanks for those tips... I see that the supports are fitted to the door hinges... I guess I can fabricate something that will open to allow the doors to open as well really love the forum by the way

Jage is correct. Aluminess can probably rig something up without having to have the bumpers. Maybe they already have.
