fuel can carrier

Does anybody have a suggestion where I can pick up a fuel can carrier locally in Dallas, TX. I was looking for something like the Mad Dog multi-purpose carrier. Cabellas list them, but they have to order them and I need it by this weekend.
When I have gone on trips before, a single tank of gas would last me all day, but I was just told that on the 850, it will not last.
I have checked the web sites for Cabellas, Bass Pro, Tractor Supply, Northern tool, Harbor Freight, Autozone, 4 Wheel performance and several others, but nobody carries something so simple.
If I can't find one, I may try to fab one tonight.
Thanks.

They do have those, and I may have to go that rout, but I really wanted to go with something like:
Mad Dog Gear® Multipurpose Carrier, Luggage & Bags, ATV & UTV Accessories, Auto & ATV : Cabelas.com
I already have plenty of spare gas cans laying around and the Koplins are super expensive for what they are, imo..

Ok, so I dug around the garage some and using some left over parts, came up with this.

It took me about 30 minutes to put it all together and cost $0 so far.
I am going to have to run by the hardware store and buy a special bolt to attach it to the back rack. I did not want to drill any holes in the rack so I am using stock mounting holes. I plan on using a single bolt and the weight of my bag on the back to hold it down. I filled it up with water and it seems very solid,even with out the bolt threaded.
It will not rub against the back even with the hardest bounces, but I may still put a rubber or foam block between the bracket and the rear bumper for protection. I am also going to get a rubber pad to go under the bracket where it sits on the rack.
