Great Idea!

Great idea, but where did you mount the weapon?? Are these the old style metal cans or the newer plastic?
There have been times when I have thought to mount some 2.5" Rocket tubes for gaining a little respect in traffic.

 

[xBobbyx]

Good idea. And it looks pretty cool. You gonna paint them?

 

[sduskin]

Now just add ...

a tail-gunner silencer/muffler! :yikes:

 

[ARtraveler]

And functional too. :yes::yes: Now you have an adventure :ani29:

 

[Vader]

How do you..

post an incredible DIY, AND NOT GIVE US ANY INFO!:banghead: lol!
Come on now..DETAILS!
-How are the attached
-Did you fab the mounting bracket and out of what material
-Did you take more pics of the process
or are you just pulling our legs?
Lol! (Seriously, I want more info..)

Now all you need is a camouflage paint job!

The side photo shows the bags painted. The rear shot was before the paint. I used Rustoleum multicolored textured paint. I made my brackets out of 1.5x.125 SS. I drilled out the grab rail mounting holes and threaded them 3/8-24 so I could use grade 8 bolts. The boxes measure 8in wide by 19.25in long by 14.5in deep. Everybody that has seen them likes them. I've got some real interesting pieces to install, but thought it would take too long to travel anywhere because of the attention from the police.

I forgot, these are the old all steel cans from Army Surplus World.

I love it! Ammo Can for Can Am .
Can you please post pics of your brackets if you happened to take some?

 

[Machinegunner]

brackets

[Rogue Hawk]

You need to add one of these...

 

[XB12X]

Absolutely brilliant. Sir, you have style.

 

[Bob Denman]

I think that those ammo boxes fit in nicely with the "attitude" of the F-3! :2thumbs:

And a 20mm cannon out of an A-10 would be awe-freaking-some!!

 

[cptjam]

Perfect!

Ron and ammo cans! Seriously needs a tailgunner exhaust, and then maybe a few M2 bits for style. Do not encourage him to actually mount a machine gun....he can do it! I love it! Joe

A US flag would be a nice addition......at lease they would know whose side you are on. otherwise Homeland Security may take it away:roflblack::roflblack:

Thought I would bring this back since there is so much talk about saddle bags. Since the pictures, I up graded from 20mm cans to 30mm they are the same dimensions except the 30mm are 1.25 in. wider. The 30mm cost $49.95 each with free shipping. Also waterproof and lock able.
