Propane storage on rear tire?

[Weeds]

I have been carrying propane tanks inside the vehicle and haven't blown up yet. But I'd like to move the tank to the outside and I have plenty of room on top of the spare tire.

I am trying to figure out if I have to weld up something myself or if there is something already available commercially.

Does anyone know of an available propane-on-tire solution?

What got me thinking about this was seeing http://www.equipt1.com/companies/Misc. Accessories/product-fr/131577-ladder-spare-tire-mount-utility at Amado. It is intended as a step, but the idea would be the same: cinch down on the tire, but with a platform rather than a step.

Thanks,
Chris.

How about the Smittybilt iRack? It is made for a jeep but may work.

Looking to do the same- going in the direction of the adventure trailer rack -cweight's post -by making a bracket that will mount on the swing away tire carrier - using the bolts / going through the center of the wheel. Thinking that a sleeved setup would be ideal as can be easily removed when not in use / if I need to use the tire
As for storing propane cylinder on it's side... Not advised as the pressue relief valve will not work properly
