I've been carrying the Rotopak 2 gallon gas can on my driver's side for 3 years now with no problems. I only use it when I go to Baja each winter and it has held up to the rough roads (and vibration) with no problems.

Re: No spare tire on my dutch doors, what about fuel cans?
Thanks for the advance info for modding my M11006 for trailering. I've laid contingency for an upgrade spare-tire winch to handle 40max# for reserve strength enough for a ø15"x7" ALCOA® rim and LT235/70R15 110Q all-terrain (immediate plans only involve a P215/75R15 100S full-service spare on a ø15"x6.5" stamped steel), and the left Dutch door is appropriate for a 19L-size Jerry-can rack. (I'd rather leave the right Dutch door's exterior alone due to the frenched registration plate and release handle.)1997 GMC M11006 (Safari SLE, 2WD, V6-4300/4L60-E/7.625" 3.73:1 open)
