Overview
The Smittybilt Gas Can Mount in textured black (part 2740-02) is a rear rack platform for carrying a gas can. Smittybilt calls its system an Intelligent Rack, and it gives a solid platform for mounting gear to the back of a Jeep.
The mount is a rear rack platform that can carry a gas can or other gear at the back of the vehicle. Its textured black finish matches the rest of the rack line.
Key features
- Textured black finish
- Solid platform for rear mounting
- Direct fit mount
- Built for gas can carrying
Carrying fuel at the rear
A rear mounted fuel can puts weight at the back of the vehicle, which changes how the rear suspension and tires handle, especially on steep climbs and descents. Keep the load secure with the can’s cap closed and the can upright, and recheck the tie-downs after the first stretch of rough road. Fuel should never be carried inside the cabin.
The textured black finish holds up to scuffs better than painted metal and is easy to wipe clean. Inspect the mounting points periodically for loose bolts, cracks in the rack, or any sign of rubbing against the bumper or tire. If gear rubs or rattles, adjust the mounting before the next trip.
- Keep the can upright and capped
- Recheck tie-downs after rough roads
