Default a cool way to hold your oil

yep for just about 13$ i came up with this idea and made it

its made up of 2 bottle holders for bikes with adjustable straps and 2 metal water bottles found in the dollar section at target.






your obv not only limited to oil that was just my choice i guess you can put w/e you want in them

i leveled and mounted them in about 15 minutes sitting in my jobs parking lot at night during my break lmao

Cool idea and it looks nice, but why not just put 1 or two quarts of oil under the rear seat?
Simple and out of the way.

Yeah, I like the way it looks.

Maybe use one of the mounts for a small fire extinguisher, and the other for oil?

Great for martinis, Too... After a long day of off roading, they'd be shaken, not stirred

Thats a great idea. I too would put some quarts of oil under the rear seat, but thats where my extra u joints, some tool, light weight straps, hammer, and lug wrench are.
