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!

Nice fit for my can just had to do some paint touch ups. No mounting hardware included but you just need some nuts and bolts.

Purchased x2 mounting brackets and received one that was defective with exposed rust despite no damage to package or wrapping. Have to keep an eye out as manufacturer seems to be painting over rusted steel forming a poor bond. Sent rusted mount back and the replacement received had no defects.

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.

With a little bit of bending of the frame with a reverse bar type gripper and some moderate pounding with a hard plastic car body hammer, I managed to get my Jerry Can to fit from side to side in the frame. After fitting to my gas can I went over the holder with high quality rust protecting black semigloss spray paint to make sure no amount of rain will make it rusty. After letting the holder dry thoroughly I mounted it to the adjustable mounting system of my Nissan trucks cargo bed. A large padlock on the over head strap and a small lock on the cans leverage sealing cap my camouflaged Jerry Can is good to go anywhere. I did fit the rubber mounting pads in their proper places for protecting the can with strong contact glue to keep them from coming off while driving at freeway speeds or removing the can. Otherwise they will easily come off the holders frame. .All in all a very adaptable and sturdy gas can mounting system. Highly Recommended with a full five star rating! Frank in California

Original: The picture doesn't show it but the back side looks like the front (i.e. there are two other vertical bars each with 2 mounting holes). The black band goes around to engage a U latch through which you can put a small lock. No lock or bolts are supplied. There are four holes on the bottom so you could bolt the container to a rack to vertically store your gerry can. For example, if you have Gobi rack you can easily bolt the holder to the mesh screen. Notice in the photo there is a buckle on the bottom of the holder. There is also another U latch on the bottom intended for securing lower height jerry cans. The holder contains several small rubber pads that clip onto the metal bar to keep it from rattling. They are also on the bottom. All the pads are easily removable. I bought my 5 gal gerry can made by Midwest Can Company Model 5800 [...] It fits perfectly. Check its dimensions against your can. If you bought the 5 gal (baby blue plastic) water can from Pep Boys, it'll fit in this holder, but you'll have to remove all the rubber pads because it'll be very tight. Also you won't easily be able to use the black metal strap because the Pep Boys water can is a bit tall and it will not enage the U latch. To lock it using the metal strap you'll need a lock with at least a 2'' neck, but a small cable lock would be easier. Some folks might want to mount the holder to a bike rack, but I'd recommend against it. For example, the Yakima rack has 4 bolt holes to which you could rig up the holder, but Yakima recommends not exceeding 75 pounds on a two bike rack. Two bikes at 25 lbs + gerry can (with 5 gals of gas) + container will be about 86lbs. The holder is quite strong and as folks have stated, if you get the right Gerry can, it should serve you well. Update: I'm downrating the rating. First time out the welds broke on the locking strap.

It works great and holds very nicely. The holes don't quite fit 3/4" hardware like in the faq's but I just drilled the holes out a bit more to accommodate the bigger hardware. If you're concerned about the hardware sticking up out of the bottom, don't be. The gas can fits perfectly even with the hardware taking up a little space in the bottom. Also might be good to get a small lock or hook to keep it closed.

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.
