Fuel and water are the two things you cannot improvise on a long trail, and a Wrangler has no natural place to carry either on the outside. The OMU Genesis Series Door Hinge Gas/Water Storage Can Kit mounts a 10L container to the door hinge, which is a hard point that already carries load.
The can is high-grade plastic. The bracket is aluminum alloy die-casting. Between them they take the weight off your cargo area and put it somewhere you can see.

It is the same part listed on our Door Hinge Gas/Water Storage Can Kit product page. If your vehicle is not in the row above, this one will not bolt up — message us before ordering and we will point you at the version that does.
10 Litres, Plastic Can, Aluminum Bracket
The container holds 10 litres, which is enough for a Jerry can of fuel or a day of drinking water for a small group. It is made from high-grade plastic so it handles temperature swings and the knocks that come with hanging outside the vehicle.
The bracket is die-cast aluminum alloy. Die casting gives a dense, rigid part with lines that follow the can, so the assembly reads as one unit rather than a bottle strapped into a cage.
Details That Matter When It Is Full
A few small features decide whether a mounted can is usable or annoying.
The cap is inverted with an anti-loosening design, so the container does not weep on corrugated roads. There is a built-in guide tube for pouring, which keeps liquid going where you aim it. And there is a vent valve: in high outdoor temperatures a full container can bulge, and the valve releases the excess pressure and lets water flow faster when you pour.
Two Handles, CNC Fit
The handle runs in both directions, so you can carry the can the way that suits you when it is off the bracket. That sounds minor until you are carrying ten litres one handed up a slope.
The bracket is CNC machined, which is why the can seats into it tightly instead of moving around. A loose can is a noisy can, and a noisy can is one that wears through its own base.
Mounting
The kit mounts to the door hinge, a structural point that is not going to deform under a can's weight. It works on the JK, the JL and the Gladiator JT.
Because the load sits on the hinge rather than on the body panel, this is one of the few exterior storage solutions that does not ask you to add reinforcement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it for water as well as fuel?
Yes. The kit is listed as a gas and water storage can. Use separate containers for fuel and water, and label them — the can is the same either way, so it is on you to keep them apart.
How much does it hold?
10 litres.
Will the cap leak on rough roads?
The cap uses an inverted anti-loosening design specifically so the container does not work loose and weep on bumpy ground. There is also a vent valve that releases pressure build-up in high heat.
Does it fit the Gladiator as well as the Wrangler?
Yes. The kit covers the Wrangler JK, Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT, mounting to the door hinge.
