What's up everybody. It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we are gonna be checking out, this more ride fender mounted, Jerry can't hold her. Now this is going to work on your Jeep. J.K and J.K limited. And what it's going to be for It is a dedicated spot for your gas can.
That way you don't have to try and put it on the inside out of your Jeep or put it in your cargo basket, you have up there, and has a dedicated spot. It stays right here. It stays in place and doesn't even rattle. Let's check it out. Seems to be great if you off-road a bunch or even if you'd like to go over landing you always want to make sure you have that gas with you just in case you get too far away from the gas station.
There's not one anywhere near, you gonna have this so you can get back. So this is a good option because again, if you're off-roading or overlanding, you know, if you're overlanding and you might have a tent up top, so that's gonna limit your space up there. You can't have a cargo carry up there, and then you can't have a cargo carry on your hitch either. Cause if you're off-roading, then you're going to go to those inclines. You don't have that ground clearance for the cargo carriers.
So you're not gonna put anything in your hitch. This is the best spot for it to go because it's out of the way and secure. What it's made for its made for gas cans up to five gowns. So we have it kind of maxed out right here with the native sour gas can, it will also work with Sceptre gas cans. And it comes with this ratchet strap included.
So it's got the points here at the bottom for the hooks to go in there. That way you can get this really tight. You can see we're shaking back and forth. There's a little movement but, not much at all. I can actually shake the whole Jeep from the mounted position back and forth. So that's not going anywhere, either. Adding it onto your Jeep, it is going to add about an inch from the fender, well here you can see its six hours a little bit more, and that's what standard Jeep tire. So chances are, if you have bigger off-road tires, they're going to stick out a little bit further anyway. The one issue we found though, and that's because we have the maximum gas can in there too, by the way if your gas cans small, you're not going to have this issue. But the door does hit! But the door is pretty open for that to happen. So we're about here is where it makes contact. But if you come over here and look this is pretty wide open here, I mean, that's, you can still get in and out of your Jeep, just fine. You just won't be able to fling that door open. The whole thing's going to be made of a black powder coat steel. Let's get some measurements here on the inside from inside the inside. It's going to be 14 and a quarter inches here from here to here. And then, on the back, its gonna be seven and a quarter inches from right there to right there. As far as installs go, it can be a little intimidating when you're first going over the instructions, but it really isn't that bad. You're going to be taking some bolts out and some panels out here. You're gonna have to remove the entire running board down here, install this bracket. But the good news is you don't have to drill. You're really just removing bolts and replacing those bolts when you add these brackets on there. But that being said, this is one of those things that once you get it installed, it's staying there in place. It's not gonna be one of the things you easily just take off and put on whenever you want. Overall, it was a little bit more of an in-depth install and I thought it was going to be originally. But, It wasn't too bad! We got it done pretty quickly. It's on there, nice and tight. I can just shake the whole Jeep from this mount. So it's not going anywhere that in combination with the strap, the red strap it comes with holds it in there. Nice and tight too. There's not going to be rattling while you're driving down the road. And it's got those rubber stoppers in there with that bottom. So there's not going to be a bunch of clanging, rattling while you're driving. It's there, it's nice and mounted. Do you have somewhere to put your gas can now that's not inside your vehicle or trying to find space for it somewhere else. It's got a dedicated spot. So it's going to be here and out of the way saving room and other places. Plus it just looks cool and makes your Jeep look even more utility. Well, thanks for hanging out. And I hope this helps..
Dry easy to install and looks great
It is seated really well, no rattle. Easy to install
Great product. Heavy duty.
Mounted on my CJ7 in five minutes with no modifications. Carries my Jerry can securely. Great product and service!
This product is designed and made thoughtfully and is of good quality materials. I like that there is some ability to adjust how close the can sits to the spare tire.
Just received my tank carrier. Excellent build quality. Easy to install. Super quick shipping. 5 star
This suits our purpose perfectly to extend our range in a 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport and provide a little piece of mind with an extra 5 gal Jerry can. We use it in "the Maze" and in the other wilds of Utah. The tray is easily removed/reinstalled with the lug wrench.
Price from e-trailer was 2/3 what everyone else wanted. Shipping was prompt. The mount itself takes back about two inches of clearance, so I’m not sure if I’ll continue using it, but us well made and easy to install.
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.
This is a very well-built product, I like that I can remove the carrier trays when I don’t need them. I have one mounted on each side of my jeep, one for water and one for extra fuel.
This thing is beautiful. The mount is heavy steel plate with another heavy steel backing plate with a 1" solid steel bar welded front and back. The weld beads are excellent. The extra backing plate doesn't extend out to the bolt holes so I shimmed the bolts by stacking washers, 4 standard 1/2 inch washers on each bolt leveled it out perfectly. I added spring keepers to the bolts to make sure it doesn't fall off and break my foot when I need to dismount the spare. The frame that holds the pan mounts to the bar with a 1/2" grade 5 bolt, washer and lockwasher. The channel of the frame is so tight to the bar that I had to tap it on with a mallet the first time. Once it's bolted down there is no wiggle at all. It came with mismatched bolts and nuts to mount the pan. I emailed after hours and when I logged on the next morning had a response offering to send me another hardware pack, so I'd say cs is first rate. Attaching a pic of the mount and a completion pick with my 10l fuel can.
Great product, super fast shipping and as always we received a followup email from George to make sure all was good with our order. Awesome company to do business with, Thank you guys!!!
Took a long time for them to get it in stock. Shipped right away once it was in stock. Bolted right up as it should. Holds a fuel or water can very securely.
I added a ubolt and security cable. The holes for a ubolt are predrilled.
Easy install, looks great and well made , sturdy. A couple of minor concerns, the jerry can that I purchased only fits at an angle and opening the door will rub against the tray so you need to be careful. Otherwise a great product!
Does exactly what I need it to! It was quick and easy to mount to the frame, it looks great, and it holds the Jerry Can perfectly.
I ordered this Jerry can holder to get the spare gas can (and smell) out of the Jeep. It worked great and was easy to install. It's easy to adjust and sturdy on the trail. It's mounted on the spare (33") and does not obstruct the view from the rear view mirror. I would recommend this product.
I get a lot of compliments from everyone who notices the two , 5 gallon tanks stored on each side of my Rubicon hybrid. They usually say they’ve never seen gas cans stored on the side of the jeep, It’s usually in the very back.. My jeep is green with the light blue accent that hybrid vehicles typically have… So I had pinstripes in that same color on the black cans, which makes the whole vehicle pop. These are quality built and rugged storage units that bow to the Jeep easily, and would recommend them for anyone going out quite a distance and would need to have the extra gas.
Took a fair amount of time to install. Worth it in my opinion.
