i decided to take my spare tire out of my trunk and i didnt like the little 2 whole tab sticking out, me and my brother were going to cut it but before we did we happened to go to a military surplus store and we picked up a set of 20mm army surplus ammo boxes, a little cut and a lock and they fit perfectly, mine holds jumper cables rope and a first aid kit while my brothers holds a compressor rope and more

Ha no way I did the same thing but havnt cut out hole for it yet lol. I'll post pics tomorrow. It's a perfect spot to

haha yeah it took like 5 mins with a grinder then a couple mins of filing with a flat file then a small master lock, i had it just sitting there but now it doesnt fall when i turn hahah

TheCK4x4

Yeah mine is held down with a bungee right now. Tomorrow I'll grind a hole. Does it rattle with the lock ?

sharkey

i have it filled with a jumper cable and some rope and the rope bundle keeps the lock from moving , so i havent heard any noise from it haha

TheCK4x4

Haha yeah I plan on tow rope, jumpers, and some little stuff, I also will have two old military 5 gallon tanks goin in back to, one gas the other water .

sharkey

have been looking for those with no luck haha, i have a new school military trunk i might paint a star on and put in there for ultimate storage

and my brother has all of that and a small slime brand compressor in his box and it fits perfectly

Dang lol. Ya we walked into a pawn shop one day and saw em in there ones red ones green and was like I gotta get these I'll never find them again. Paid 25 for both the red looks new on inside the green has some grease grime and rust but I got all grease out and just a few small spots rust but there great, I don't know how I'll fit it all cause I got a full size spare ( 33 12.50 ) the ammo can a tool box and wanting to put the to gas cans . Hmmmm idk lol

sharkey

hahah that was my problem so i went to harbor freight and picked up a bike rack hitch receiver for 40 bucks on sale and im gunna have my brother weld up a way to hold my spare on it haha im running 31s but they still take up alot of trunk space

TheCK4x4

Yeah like 3/4 of mine is my tire lol imma make a roof bar to hold it I think

My rear storage is a 81mm mortar box strapped down to the tiedowns. its huge and fully loaded with tools, spare parts and fluids weighs around 100lbs. Ultimate trail box.

I've got two like-new ammo boxes i was gonna use on my bike, but this is a better purpose - thanks for the reminder! Going in this weekend..

After seeing this thread, I would like to find one of those (cheap lol) for my Jeep.. would be nice to have..

My buddy gave me one to carry my recovery gear (straps, rain coat, clevis/d-rings, trailer hitchs/pins, etc), but I don't have it held down.





Have also thought if anything happens to the Jeep and she needs a repaint, army green or camo may be in order.. lol
