Doubt I’ll go this route, but curious if you can sneak a 38 on there,

Here’s an AEV JL on 37s from work, cutting it real close and with a BFG which runs a little small.

Yea those do run small as shit, so id definitely doubt it. By the looks of that be hard to get a real 37 like a Nitto on there

If you want to carry extra fuel on the outside of your 392 I would go with the EVO tire carrier For fuel on the inside go with the jugs D-Day recommended. I used something similar in my ‘78 CJ-5 and they were bullet proof. I would usually wrap a trash bag around them for a little extra fume mitigation.
I will say I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve felt the need to refuel off of the cans on the JK- and that was mostly because I did not want to be ‘That Guy’ who ran out. Having extra fuel does give peace of mind and even if you can only carry a few gallons that’s 20-30 miles you won’t need to walk!

Didn’t you just put a roof rack on? Get a rotopax mount and put them up there when you need them.

Yea for sure, but I’ll be bring the roof top tent for some of it, which takes up the whole thing. But when I’m not ill definitely do that.

If you do go with the EVO mount, then another option would be to use the Roto-Pax strap .. basically a big ratchet strap with two roto-pax mounts around the spare.
