20mm ammo box trunk storage
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

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
