How Do You Attach a Jerry Can to a Truck Bed?

Jerry cans are a must-have item for any off-road enthusiast. They are perfect for carrying extra fuel, water, and other supplies on your truck or SUV. But if you’re using a jerry can, you’ll need to know how to securely attach it to your truck bed.

The most secure way of attaching a jerry can to a truck bed is with specialized mounting hardware. This usually consists of two heavy-duty straps that loop around the jerry can and hook onto the sides of the bed. Make sure the straps are tight and secure, and double-check them before each use.

If you don’t have access to mounting hardware, there are other ways to attach your jerry can. Using bungee cords is one option; just make sure they’re tight and won’t slip off during travel. You could also use ratchet straps or rope for added security.

If your truck has factory tie-down points in the bed, you can use these as well. Just make sure they’re rated for the weight of the jerry can and that they’re securely tightened down.

No matter which method you choose, it’s important that you attach your jerry can securely.

Conclusion:

Attaching a jerry can to a truck bed is an important safety measure for any off-road enthusiast. The most secure option is using specialized mounting hardware, but if that isn’t available then bungee cords, ratchet straps, rope, or factory tie-down points will do the job as well – just make sure everything is tightly secured before each use.
