Can I ask if you needed a Extension on that rotopax fuel can holder on the rear door spare wheel?
Do you have pictures how you mounted the fuel can holder on the spare wheel bracket?

Would like to add a round canister to ours to.

So you don't need a extension on the fuel can mount?

Sorry, I thought you meant the mount between tire and rotopax mount. No, I used a standard depth mount.

Updates:
Added eBay door steps. As much as I like Buzz Overland, I do not like the brushed look and rather the black. I sourced conical rubber washers to match the pitch of the inner door mount, similar to the buzz conical screw. The rubber helps to deter water ingress as well- Also helps mount the Morrflate air hub!

Did some documentation of my Portable refrigerator running off 12v. Added a second, switched 12v/USB/Voltage meter, wired directly to the secondary wiring of the MPPT controller. Specifically made to regulate the sun power and battery drainage, to not allow the battery to drain to a low point.
4 days in DVNP, continuously ran fridge, even all night. Only list about 8% charge overnight, and within 1 hour, SOC was 100% off Aux battery again.
Then before leaving for another trip, I plugged in fridge at 6pm, @ 100 degrees outside temp. Fridge was at 98 degrees. SOC was 100%. Lost 8% from a 12 hour overnight continuous run to get fridge temp to 32 degrees and run to keep temp.
Went to Starbucks 6:27am SOC house battery 98%, Aux battery 92%, 1.5 mile drive, idled while picking up coffee and then home again.
6:36am 94% returned home
6:41am- IG off, using sun power - 96%
7:02 am sun power 97%
The solar, CTEK system, OEM aux battery, and 12v Refrigerator, is very efficient, and great for OTG support (if you have sun of course)

I use it on my FJ80, and IG
