My DIY Jerry can holder
Searched high and low for something this simple but couldn't find anything. So after $175 which includes jerry cans, holders, metal, metal cuts, and paying a welder to weld for me since I have no skills at that. I don't think it's too bad. Beats paying more $$. So tell me what you think. I will not be carrying gas in the cans unless I'm off-roading. Worry willies need not apply. I will be adding some reinforcement as its has some jiggle to it. Jiggle is good in some cases but not here. I chose green cans as I like to be as incognito as possible.

I like them. I made a single holder for my YJ. I use mine. With a jiggle syphon I can move the fuel to my tank without removing the jerry can from the holder.
I like your design. I think they came out awesome. I use a strap to keep mine from moving.

They look good on a comp. but, how are they supported ? I see no support from the bottom so I do wonder what would happen if your hauling arse and hit some woops or just a big divot in the dirt. Flop open the tire carrier and show some good pics. of the attachment points, and the welding, then we'll tell you how good of a job it is.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the holders on the front fenders unless they are below the top of the hood. They make some that have the lower corners cut. So they sit flush with the sliders. I like the rear loaders like what you've got our the way I mentioned. Personally I like them better back there.
that's exactly what I'm goin to use. A jiggle siphon.
