I'm trying to figure out the best solution for spare fuel. The tailgate doesn't swing, it lifts. So mounting a carrier on the tailgate is not an option. I considered a carrier mounted to the hitch receiver but the ones I've found all ride too low to have any ground clearance, too high opening the tailgate. Is there a carrier that would sut up high, perhaps with a swing out, that I just haven't found yet? Carrying fuel inside the cabin just seems like bad mojo and a trip to the nearest burn unit just waiting to happen. Seems like the roof rack is going to be my best bet, but is it? I'll already have the spare up there, that's about 60 pounds. Ten gallons of fuel, that's roughly another 65 pounds including the cans. Add in a couple water cans and that seems like a lot of weight to put up there, but maybe I'm just overthinking this.
