What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out this jerry can holder that mounts to your fender, and it's gonna mount into existing holes on your Jeep Wrangler JK or JK Unlimited. So it's gonna hold it really nice and tight. I can shake the whole Jeep back and forth. And you see there's no rattling here whatsoever or on the bracket. It's not on there, it's not going anywhere, it's gonna stay with you wherever you go driving.
This is gonna be the passenger side version. We also have a driver's side version as well, if that's what you're looking for. You can get both of 'em, put 'em on there. So you see that it mounts right here. There's a existing holes, it even goes around the antenna.
You don't have to remove it or anything. There's actually a cut-out on the passenger side one that goes around the antenna. So that's gonna be the only real difference is on the driver's side, it's not gonna have that cut-out. It's able to hold NATO or Scepter-style gas cans up to five gallons. You can see it fits in there really nicely, and you can even, don't have to sacrifice your door opening.
That's one of the things I was worried about, but you can see, I'm gonna open the door all the way, there's no contact whatsoever, so you don't have to worry about it. And includes a ratchet strap with it, so that way you can keep your gas can tightened down, and it's got the holes to run that strap through. So you can see the hooks go through here, and there's gonna be one on the back side as well, and then you have the side walls that just add more strength to this all overall. So you don't have to worry about it causing issues. You got even some rubber stoppers here on the back that just keeps that rattling down, too, so that's nice.
So even if it isn't as tight as we have it and it moves a little bit, you don't wanna hear the metal on metal. So you're not going to because there's a foam pad at the bottom, and the nubs on the back side. With the gas can removed, we have a better look at it. You can see the rubber stoppers I was talking about before, and how they stick out a little bit more than these bolts do, so that's just gonna prevent that metal-on-metal contact, you won't have any rattling or touching there. The gas can'll hit here and never mess with these bolts. The same can be said with this mat at the bottom. You can set it down on there, and then there's no metal on metal down here, so again, no rattling. Now it does have an adhesive on the back that you can peel of and stick it permanently. But this isn't staying on here, so we're not gonna do that today. Gonna go from side to side, looks to be 14" from here to here. Then from back to front, it's gonna be about 7" from here to here. And let's look at how long it's gonna stick out from the side of the Jeep. Looks like it's a little bit over 8-1/2", but not by much. So that's not too bad. If you look at the fender well, it's only a little bit further out than that, so I don't think you're gonna hit much or have many problems with how far it sticks out. The whole thing's made out of a black powder coat steel, so you know it's gonna hold up to the elements and whatever you put it through wherever you're driving your Jeep. Now when we we're putting it on there and install it, it does have some heaviness to it. It's not super heavy or anything, but I like that. That made me more confident that it was gonna last over a long time. It wasn't just thin pieces of metal that was I was resting a gas can on. This is on there, you saw me shaking the Jeep. It's gonna be fine. I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out, and I hope this helped..

This jerry can mount lets you carry fuel so you can fill up when you're off the beaten path. Works with 5 gallon NATO-style or Scepter fuel cans. Also compatible with a RotopaX fuel mounting panel. Installs behind the passenger's-side fender.Decent product strap holes are small making strap removal difficult. Rubber vibration stop always falls outwhen inserting Jerry can. Drain holes need drilled out bigger. Not an issue unless you use cans Alot like I do.I modified the above issues for heavy every few days use.

Ok but Im going to change the straps out for a different kind they get hung where metal clasp hooks into them pretty consistent. Drilling bigger drain holes helped and padding back of strap rachet to stop rattling
