Default Show me your roof rack jerry can mounts!

Hey guys im looking for ideas for a way to mount my 5gal jerry can up in my roof rack. Im looking for more of a home brew mount. I have a bunch of scrap at work so really just looking for ideas. Im not afraid to "customize" the rack to accomodate the jerry can lol. I have plenty of room up there for the jerry can and a 33" spare.

I could easily just strap it up there but id like to get alittle more involved with it. Maybe some kind of lock on it.. give me some ideas

What Jerry cans you plan to use, that can dictate what type of mount you'll need to fab.
