Thanks Ray

Not being one who likes to drill holes in body panels there's a couple of reasons I like the spare tire mount.

1- If desired the entire mount can easily be taken off for in town driving leaving temptation alone for theft or vandalism given what you guys pay for fuel now a days in the US.

2- The spare tire mount on the rear door is engineered to take weight and the movement of the spare tire already. We have seen many of these with giant spares and doing just fine so the fuel cans should be OK. Also the weight of the spare is on the hinge side - this is much stronger than the latch side offering more stability and ease of door opening with less strain on the door. No 50# bouncing up and down on the latch assembly.

3- When mounted on the spare the rear view vision is not obstructed. Also seems it would be noisy and rattling if the fuel can were to be not carried during in town driving.
