Post by whitesik »

I would like to find a gas can holder like that pictured below. Does anybody have a lead on where I can find one?

Thanks!

Don't know about that particular model. I bought one from 4X Innovations you might find interesting here:

Mounted pretty tight on my rig.

Thanks to you both for offering options. I have seen the ones linked by aclark79 but was looking for a lockable option.

I did find this one below interesting but I have never seen one like it. Any comments? I also have concerns about mounting a heavy fuel can on the thin upper body of a "K" but apparently it works.

The structural rigidity in the upper panel in the rear of a K is pretty solid.
There are several bends that stiffen and the width between the door jam
to the corner is less than 16". The one issue I found was that the metal
bends are such that you want to use bushings on the mount points between
the can mount and Truck surface so that it mounts flat and won't put stress
on the bent surfaces when tightened. I used SS fender washers with a thin
round cut neoprene to protect the paint and provide a seal. The Jerry can
carrier I picked is heavy gauge steel countersunk with Allen flat head bolts.

It also works quit well at the Equator and Northern hemisphere :D

I've never seen the Jerry can holder you're looking at in the US. Though the pan is the same, the retaining arm is completely different and mounts to the rear of the vehicle.
A 'best bet' for you is to find the pan you want and have a strap fabricated. A word of warning, know what style of gerry can you want to use and be sure it works in the pan.

NATO and the British water cans do fit the upper holder, iirc the Spector cans used by the US military do not. Though I do have jerry can holders on my Supacats that look the same that do take them
