    This got me to create the following how to:

    IMAG0353_44c9e1f5ab3891f48474088955c625b1b03d12fb.jpg

    IMAG0354_13386fda526e8a50472ea33551130ec2f109d5c4.jpg

    Get an ammo can of desired size, i got a large one cause i liked the size, but any size will do
    NOTE: Short cans will sit level mounted on the side, tall cans sit crooked cause of the uneven sides. Tall cans sit great along the cab rail.

    Mmmmm M224 Mortar
    IMAG0358_4553997cfbc3312eed14b8ec8262b79590eb9d05.jpg

    Monster sticker extra (dont think i like it)

    Drill two... level holes... and there are two mounting options

    Factory square head bolts and spin on "nuts"
    IMAG0361_d81e037a4f39f09d918c5ab49c03fb0ece8417b3.jpg

    OR

    Make your own, I made these tonight just so i could show you guys/gals

    Its not that hard, took me about 15min, and I had all the hardware...

    IMAG0364_88a039174e78ec4b5215a3ec3d209857967d97cd.jpg

    Both mounting options fit the same in the truck

    Have Fun! Hope it works out for people.

    I decided to clean this up a little this afternoon. It's pretty obvious what this is for. I have had to apply two tourniquets to injured motorcycle riders this past year so putting this on the outside should help for those "just in case" moments.
