Thanks for the awesome photo, does the rack on your jeep swing out?

I picked them up in a army surplus store in the states 

I'm pretty sure that crown surplus sells them aswell

I bought a few of the can carriers at Modern Motors  about 10  years ago.  Included the base portion and steel strap.  They may still sell them.
