BA Tents has a platform you could use: https://badasstents.com/product/ba-t...te-with-strap/
Or if you want to go with Rotopax, they also sell this: https://badasstents.com/product/ba-t...te-with-strap/
If you are willing to go "all in" and mount it to the door, you could go this route: https://www.quadratec.com/products/12232_00_07.htm
Or this: https://www.quadratec.com/p/morryde/...ngler-tj-yj-jk
Heck - just root around Quadratec until you see what you like. Just ignore all the Jeeps in the background https://www.quadratec.com/search/jerry

I decided on this mount, I have Jerry cans. The hinges on the door appear to be robust. I don’t have garage clearance to add a rack on top, and don’t really want anything on the side. After each trip I’ll be removing it for daily driving. Thanks for the input.

This one from MORyde mounts to the wheel itself so should work fine on a Defender. No affiliation, but I used their fender-mount Jerry-can holders for five years on a JK and they are the boss. No drilling or alterations to the Jeep required at all.

@umbertob - Don't have that set up, but I imagine the process would be:
- Take off cans
- Unstrap mounting system
- Remove Spare
- Change tire
- Put Spare back on back of Defender
- Strap mounting system to deflated tire, synching up tightly
- Put on cans
Is the concern that the deflated tire couldn't handle the strap? Not getting the part that would be a challenge. Me? I'm so pissed off whenever I change a tire I usually toss it in the back of my truck/trunk and flail in all the jacks, wrenches, bits & parts. After I cool down and have the tire fixed, I try to organize it all back in. Usually with less profanity involved the second time. I imagine this being a lot of the same. Other than the added PITA of a deflated tire that I now need to synch tightly because it wants to be deflated. But, I suspect a deflated tire would handle it or the Jeep community would have abandoned this approach long ago.
