Ideas for sidearm/cell phone storage while working.

[couleedude]

I am thinking of velcro-ing a small igloo cooler to my left fender, just to put my 45, a couple of beers, and a cell phone in.

My velcro plan seems kinda lame, so I figured I would check here to see what others have done.

Pics always help!

Cooler fanny pack for the beer, IWB holster and cell phone clip case. Holster and phone case can be clipped to the fanny pack waist band. When home for the day, it all comes off like an officer's belt.

They also make ankle beer holders if you need more throughout the day.

Just hit hardware store. Small plastic toolbox with a tray to hold phone and gun. Room for 4? cans beer and ice or ice pack. Will drill two holes in the bottom to let the melted ice drain out. We'll secure with just two stainless bolts through the fendor.

Sidearm on my hip, cooler in a bag with ice hanging off head rest and phone in case that hangs on hook off the side window.

I’ve added a rear cargo basket to mine. Bolted to the ROPS. Kept the small factory tool box and added a larger toolbox on one side of the basket.

so, i am working in VERY dusty conditions, which is why I want my phone and gun under cover, but within reach.

<aside> I find the combination of a .45 and some beers somewhat incautious, but perhaps that's just my range training. </aside>

Cold beers condense moisture from the air; unless you have a stainless or polymer .45, this does your pistol no favors. Also, cell phones are often somewhat delicate and can also be moisture sensitive. I'd avoid storing these items together in a single container that's subject to shaking and sudden shifts.

Many coolers and be drilled and bolted. You might have to add a backing plate with washers on the inside. If you want a quick release, look at connections like these.
