directly to the hood itself...probly either in the front corners or back corners...((not sure of the legality, but ive seen jeeps with lights at the A-post so must be somewhat legal))

for wranglers they make hinge brackets to mount lights on.
like so


i would think for ours you may be able to rig something up at the hood cowl area or maybe fab a bracket to use on the hinge points themselves

i think this is what your looking for.

for the hood mount lights....i dont see why not.
looks like just angle steel and couple of brackets. i think the bolt to the hing location on the wrangler...i dont see why you couldnt do the same.
i would just add a plate of steel to bottom side of hood for reinforcement.

now the jerry can i looked at the carrier they make for these...looks like you could extend the bolts on the carrier and bolt it on top of tire.
i am not sure of the first gen carrier sizes so i dont know if it would fit to the pass side of the tire or not.

hope this helps
