Start off with the misleading photo. It shows the carrier mounted on a spare tire. The carrier comes with no means to mount to a tire bracket. You must fabricate your own.Other than that, it's a good product and easily mounts to a flat surface like the side of a truck bed. It has an advantage over the traditional pan-style Jerry can carrier in that it has a locking, metal strap (you provide the lock) that goes over the top of the can and blocks the spout so you can't steal the can or siphon the gas. Of course with the right tools you can steal it. Just not easily.
Perhaps a disadvantage compared to the traditional carrier is that the gas can sits on two small pieces of metal that form the bottom braces of the carrier. Not much surface area to carry the weight of a full can. Under rugged trail conditions and over time, they could dent or wear the bottom of the can. Probably not a real concern unless you drive hundreds of miles off-road.
