I figured you would put in spare oil containment in your new hollow rear bumper!

Right side: gear oil

I found the can online for $102.00 but couldn't find the Fitting Kit. Nice idea but the price is a bit steep. :|

personally I like Tim's rear bumper w/swing with two 5 gallon jerry can holder better http://www.swpinzgauer.org/message_boar ... 810024873a . one of our members came up with a great idea or using inside the spare tire area. He made a round plate, that acts as a hub cap if you will, and wraps his tow cable/straps inside. He can always get to the straps no matter which side he lays the truck on :lol: wish I had a picture of this mod. Will have to make sure and snap a couple next time he is out with us.

Why use a gas can for oil?
