Heavy duty milk crate with steel band aruond upper plastic. Fits 2 of the 2.5 gal plastic cans. I bought the Scepter cans made in Canada. I like their nozzle better than US made can. Milk crate is secured to Thule cross bars with flat U bolts and Thule quick clamps. Then 4ft bike cable loops thru cans and secures to basket with padlock.

Nice AP, I like easy solutions!!! Looks like it has worked well for you. This is what happened when I mounted a basket and highlift jack to my rack. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7843
