    I believe you can get a jerrycan holder bracket that bolts on to the spare wheel bracket..... Similar to the hi-lift jack holder.

    Is that instead of the spare wheel?

    No... It bolts over the wheel carrier studs, although you can, if you have a duel wheel carrier, use one side for the jerrycan and the other side for the spare....

    I am making my own rear wheel carrier and jerry can holder... the main expence for me is the swivels as I have been collecting the steel that I would need for a while now.[/QUOTE

    Been thinking about this myself and then when I was down the coast this weekend I came across a bloke who made on and has used a trailer axle stub for the pivot, looked good worked well. He had just machined the flange of the hub

    Something like this is till maybe 25kg of weight on the door
    Easy as to do rear bar if you know your way around a welder.
    pivots are only 6x4 trailer stub axles, Depending on needs a VHF antenna bracket
    can be fabricated in as well. Pic is one that suits LR but no different just different mounting plate
    IMO GQ would be easier than GU to make a rear bar for.

    To fit ,remove wheel from door, fit the mount plate with stud pattern on door,then put wheel and wheel nuts on,
    Then jerry can holder slides back against your tyre and tighten. Using this style you can make all manner of
    attachments to suit your needs, I have axe, post hole shovel, extra 30mtr of cable. hi-lift, possibilities are endless.
    I use towbar for Vice attatchment but rarely use it these days. Even that can be used for a spare wheel holder,a
    decent pivot so you can lay it down to access the rear, made a few for club members over the years. Not my cup of tea,
    but another option to think about and easy to make.

    Not on the door.... On the duel wheel carrier... Sorry, may not have explained myself properly.
