Hmmmmm.....that's an interesting one !!

Do you want to put that on your GQ? I think 1 tyre and 1 jerry can per side could work. It will be pretty heavy though and would need serious bracing to handle the stresses from 2 out of the 3 axis ( forward - backward, left - right )
Regards

too much weight and you get light drifty/twitchy steering and tail wagging.... at 120km/h loaded up and the family in the back it cant be very fun.
