Smittybilt JERRY GAS CAN HOLDER - SB2798

Good quality you can feel the quality

.......along comes this awesome Smittybilt Jerry Can Holder! This thing is well built and the powdercoat is really nice. Please don't believe it will "float" at the back of your tire, there's a separate adapter available for that mounting (search "Smittybilt 2740 I-Rack", or "Intelligent Rack", here on Amazon or check "The Bay"). This Jerry Can Holder has mounting holes on both long sides and it should be pretty easy to fabricate some form of suitable mount for it. As mentioned in other reviews, there are a bunch of rubber isolaters to keep your metal can off of the metal frame, they're not really secure---you'll want to get some self stick insulation to replace this, but it's no issue, really. You can leave the isolators in place if you never plan on removing the can from the holder (parade queen, like my buddies Jeep!); otherwise they'll pop out when you pull the can. Overall, I'm really impressed at the quality and appearance of this thing for the money!

To contribute to the warming of the planet, I needed to tote more hydrocarbons into the outback to feed my Jeep, so I fabricated a mount for the posterior of the vehicle. This holder attached easily and seems to be constructed with enough steel that it will persevere well; time will tell. However, the size of the actual receptacle seems a bit wobbly. When I installed a five-gallon plastic jerry can of water into the bracket for testing purposes, the can fit perfectly, although the hinged top strap bracket didn't fit. Luckily, the top strap metal is thin enough that I could bend it a bit to hold onto the water jug better. When I installed the actual steel jerry can of gas, however, the top strap needed adjusting again. The can didn't fit the bottom part as snugly, although I suppose it being a bit too large is better than it being too small. I am worried the filled gas can will shift about and perhaps rattle, so I wedged a couple of lengths of old rubber heater hose between the can and the vertical brackets to shim it all up. All in all, I think it's a pretty good product for the price. If there are any problems down the road (literally), I will update my review.

Dear Amazon, i purchased this can holder as a suggestion to my purchase of a green 5 gallon water container. Please stop recommending it with that product, it does not fit. The Jerry Gas Can Holder works great with the right can, but not with the green Scepter 5 gallon water container. I will purchase the correct gas can for this, but i wish i could lock down my water container. Oh well, we cant win them all.

There are times when you hesitate to buy online because things look different in person. This was better than expected! Very pleased with the paint job, Heavy Duty, " Jerry" gas can fits perfect. The seller even contacted me before shipping to make sure I understood measurements. Cheaper than others to.

Heavy duty and secure Jerry can storage.

Was as described. If putting on a Jeep on the fender then get yourself a few big body washers and drill it out and paint the holes. Don't use self tapping screws as it suggest somewhere I saw. It will never hold the weight once full. Better yet go to lowes buy a piece of plate steel, cut it in half, drill two holes and you could sit on it. (I wouldn't lol)

These units have poor quality welds but they do the basic job if you install them in a truck bed (i dont need to bungee cord / ratchet strap them in). The hold down brackets on both units I bought broke at the hinge tack welds on the first drive (7 miles). These may be cheaper than fabricating myself but I will probably be welding up my own jerry can holder if I need another one and using better (thicker) materials. The second unit did not come with the rubber rub guards meaning the holder will wear the paint off my nato cans if I continue to drive with them. Having said that, there are a variety of mounting holes on the frames which is nice. I will likely reweld / redesign the hold down strap and they will work fine.

Surprised how solid it is. Top locking bar could be better but works fine. I’m happy. And the Scepter 20l plastic can fits in snug!

Jerry can fits very snug and secure

The basket is of better quality/heavier guage than expected. The locking handle looks good and can be made to fit different Jerry Cans firmly in the basket to prevent falling/bouncing out. Would not be effective to prevent Jerry Can theft by someone without tools but strong hands; would be effective locking to basket height only.
