Ammo Can tool box mod

I put one in my bed using the bed rails I will have to take some pics. I have the same ammo can

 

I love mine

 

This is a great mod. I got the idea from secretsquirrel. I originally installed 3 but took the middle one below rear window off so that I could mount a bike fork mount in it's place.

 

Cool stuff.

 

That's neat. Had em mounted in my jeep (granted mostly because I had no way to lock anything) and they really came in handy... if not a bit loud being full of tools going over bumps.

 

Any particular reason you used 40mm instead of 50cal cans?

 

Yup... Ill be picking up a couple of these!! I think Ill use bedliner/rhinoline or something of the like on them.

 

50Cal cans were alot smaller. these are about 17" long by 5.5" wide by abotu 8.5~9" tall. also updating with more pics now

 

And done....If you have any questions just ask

 

good idea...thanks

 

Nice!! I like it i may have to try this out. Thanks

 

Got 2 large 5.56 cans in the back of mine - basically the exact same set-up without the rubber washers. We just had a bunch of rain here in socal and everything stayed dry so....

 

it not my mod i found it here but just couldnt find a good write up since rich deleted everything lol. but thats everyone. always night to have storage options

 

I followed the above link a year ago and had great success.
The nice thing was/is I was able to remove them when I mounted my folding cover.



Yuma Taco,

 

Thanks. It's kind hard for me to tell the scale. Normally I keep all my ammo in 50cal and 30cal cans.

 

I'm wondering how easy it would be to add some sort of hangers to drop the top of the box below the rails. This would allow the boxes to be there but also have a tonneau cover over them. That would be great for holding things you may not need all that often...

I'm going to do this mod since I have one just laying around. Thanks for posting pics.

 

Would you mind posting what set up you used to mount them to the rail?
