I want to put a hi-lift jack on it and also i want to put a gas can on it. Who makes accessories like this where can i buy them. Also can a gas can be connected to my spare tire like on the old land cruizers.

Probably cost you about 1.50.   Dave Nothstein (Davez26) New Member Username: Davez26 Post Number: 9 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2003 - 11:57 pm:    If you have a rack already, do like Brian says and bolt it down. As for the Gas can, use rope. It'll hold it down, and you won't have some crappy looking carrier stuck to the rack the other 99% of the time you don't have gas up there. I'm not feeling so good about the spare tire gas carrier idea. Adding another 30 pounds of flamable weight bouncing around off the tail door scares me!   Dave_lucas (Dave_lucas) Senior Member Username: Dave_lucas Post Number: 346 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 12:16 am:    Psssst, http://www.roversolutions.com/themount/   Brian Friend (Brianfriend) Senior Member Username: Brianfriend Post Number: 560 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 10:07 am:    Oh yes, I forgot about those. Will they work with a 12" high lift? I have space issues.   Andrew Descalso (Offrdxd) New Member Username: Offrdxd Post Number: 2 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:04 am:    Thanks   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Senior Member Username: Koby Post Number: 299 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:23 am:    a 12" Hi-lift or a 12' (60 inch) Hi-lift? LOL, you must have some serious space issues to need a 12" Hi-lift.   Jason T. Barker (Speedminded) Member Username: Speedminded Post Number: 158 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 10:29 pm:    Since when has 60 ÷ 12 = 12? ...12' = 144" I would replace the spare tire with a gas can or two (I'm sure someone can devise a gas can mount that connects to the spare tire holder) and put the tire on the roof rack...looks cooler and more clearance.   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Senior Member Username: Koby Post Number: 301 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 01:00 pm:    Doh, my bad. For some reason that 12 is a horrible, horrible number. I meant to say 5' Hi-lift.   Rans (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 448 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 01:04 pm:    So heres the next question.....who makes the best spare tire adaptor for the adventure roof rack? Not that I think I am strong enough to lift my off-road spare over my head up there....LOL....but MAYBE I can.   Jason T.

Watch someone get slapped in the face by one, Priceless. Takes two of the flat (color and shape) black 15" bungees for one spare tire.
