Best way to carry 10 gallons of gas outside the Jeep?

OP
I've never liked Rotopax even with a water spout. They pour too slowly and I always ended up with gas on myself.
Thankfully not. Hotels each night. So only a couple of backpacks with clothes and a cooler.
I don't like the idea of that much weight bouncing around.
I'm not familiar enough with the area to risk that.
You're hired!

If I can use VP Racing/dump style jugs I'll reuse them in the future.
I'm playing around with a few hitch ideas and welding a shelf directly to it. Anyone have one they'd sell for cheap?

You need a tank trailer!
In all seriousness, maybe have a way to lock it up? That's $50 plus in fuel these days.
I've got a 4 gallon Rotopax you could borrow. I have the replacement spout that pours nice and I installed a vent.

It looks like we talked about it, and costs, in 2019. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/who-wants-to-do-the-alcan-5000-in-summer-2022.25998/
Sign up for 2024 (winter) starts on September 2nd I think.
Gasoline is definitely going to be my biggest expense.
I'm pretty sure I have a receiver hitch frame I took off of my Jeep. Peeling powder coat. cheap to free price range.
I'll check when I get home tonight, I need to get out the door for work right now.
I don't know exactly where you are at, but I think I might be what's considered close, for up here anyway.
I'll get back to you tonight.

Don’t all your corporate sponsors cover your fuel cost, Tox?
This sounds cool. Should be a blast.

Unfortunately putting my sponsor Rush Hour Energy through my Jeeps leaves a sticky mess on the tailpipe. Attracts too many ants and bears. Worst sponsor ever!

Winter does not sound as fun.
Plus my '04 WJ (which I thought would make a better rally car than my LJ) became my daily driver again.
I doubt it will last till 2026.

These young fellers figured out how to haul 35 gallons of gas on the front clip of an MB. All while being shot at.
OP
I haven't created it yet, but planning on welding a shelf to the receiver from @J.Pierce and moving the spare tire into the back. I'll then ratchet strap a pair of dump cans on the back. Gas is just so expensive it's almost a wash buying new vs paying for gas to go pick it up. So waiting until either gas is cheaper or one of us is closer to each other anyway.
This solution is really just specific to this trip and I'd probably do it differently if I were planning on using this long term or on a different trip.
