Going to be putting on the JCR rear bumper with the adventure rack. Where is the best place to get Jerry cans for gas?

I run the same ones as @grubworm. Everything about them is better. On my swingout, I have the cans on the same side as my fuel door. I open and siphon straight from the cans. No more lifting.

I would say that wavian has the best but I have not tested them all. Go to Coleman’s surplus to get the German wide mouth Jerry can for around $40, a used nato can for around $32
Wavian cans are pricier but they are very well made, they are $80 a piece.
I run two at most times.

Ive had a set of midwest can jerrys for about 10 years. The original caps are trash, throw them out before you even put fuel in them. I put a set of ez pour caps and they haven't leaked a drop.

You can get Scepter Military fuel cans on Ebay . They are expensive but worth it.

Another Scepter fan here but be aware Scepter also makes military water cans that look similar to their fuel cans. The water cans will have a single bar for a handle at the top and the fuel cans will have three.

The caps are completely different
