Reviews: Smittybilt Jerry Gas Can Holders

Mounted this on my roof rack so that the can sits flat on the broadside. No leaks so far, and this holder was very secure and didn't let the can sling around a lot. The hole for a padlock could be a little bigger to accommodate the slightly larger padlocks but it's not a deal breaker. I've had it about 3 weeks now with no issue.

I in the past used the jeery can holder which just fit the base of can (like on back of army jeep). This holder is much better and LOOK good to

Isnt built for modern day jerry cans which are thinner.no real rubber stops to stop can from vibrating, still secure though.no real instructions.buy rubber stops or washers to help reduce vibration. Remember 5 gals of gas or water weighs about 40 pounds and it is going up, down, left, right. Use large washers on supporting side for larger support area. Mounted on my 1997 silverado on the opposite side from gas filler on step indention. Braket sits out past side by about 1/4inch. Wouldn't have if holder was sized down for thinner new jerry cans.

It'll do the job. However, the locking strap doesn't hold tightly when there's no can in the holder, even when on the lowest position. The design allows for connecting multiple holders together, which is what I did for a 3 can rack.

Its nice, just didn't fit were i wanted it. But thats not its fault.
