SO in order to use the RTR Jerry can mount, do you have to buy all the kit they sell?
+ Rear tire carrier ($1200)
+ Molle accessory ($150)
+ Tailgate stop ($150)
+ Jerry can mount ($350)
Or can you get by without the tire carrier? Will the jerry can mount still fit? And does it depend on spare tire size?

Couldn't agree more about MFCs. I have a number of them, and won't use anything else. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this. My path forward will either be this setup, or a bumper mounted spare tire carrier/MFC carrier.

Hammer Built will soon release theirs, but in the interim I can confirm this setup works with either Jerry cans or MFCs:

You have to select the dual option, because their carriers are meant to used with their setups, and let them know you want to use it with the MFC (they will then send you the metal strap instead of the brackets that someone with a Jerry can would need). They have a chat feature and if you tell them what you want to do they then recommend the right one. It has a vertical mount surface with multiple holes, and it should mount to most setups out there. The only downside to the Bronco mounting is that our hinges are angled, and the can will tilt outward...but some McMaster Carr wedge spacers will take care of that.
Hammer Built's carrier will be aluminum and lighter than the Expedition carrier...but some folks prefer steel.

I got you. We sell the rear tower assembly separate. It comes with 2 molle panels and a horizontal portion for traction boards.

Here are two more that are for MFC:

and:

They are both aluminum and could easily be modified to mount whatever system you have (like Raptor hinges or the Hammer Built plate or the RTR setup). I like the AT one but it is not available in black...you have to remove the protective coating and then get it powdercoated if you don't like the natural aluminum finish. Hammer Built does awesome powdercoating, and the Roambuilt and Expedition also have decent powdercoating as well.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I actually have the AT Overland can holder on my teardrop, with a MFC strap and a Military Water Can (WMC) strap that I can interchange.

I don't love the RTR can carrier because it fits only Jerry cans (not Scepters) and their is no lock over the cap...someone can quickly siphon your gas. If you go RTR, get the carrier and the molle accessory, skip the tailgate stop and buy the shorter strut rod from Hammer Built, and buy whatever fuel carrier you want that has a flat/solid vertical panel do you can drill/mount it to the molle panel. The Expedition one (under 200) or the AT one (under 200) or the Roambuilt (under 300) are all IMHO better than the RTR setup because they work with Scepter (or Jerry for the AT and Expedition) and they lock the caps. AT is the lightest (6 pounds). I recommend Scepter MFC cans all day long versus Jerry because they weigh 10 pounds less and are more robust.
