I made my own bedrails (another thread) and attached this ammo box to hold my ratchet straps and gloves.
  • I used a Harbor Freight box because its lid has a straight overhang. All of the real ammo boxes that I have, have an angled overhang on the lid.
  • I riveted on some wire rope to prevent it from opening into the window.
  • I put a piece of white polyethylene (painted black) between the box and the rail, so the box can open / close. I am going to replace this with a black piece since nothing sticks to polyethylene.
  • I put a magnet under the handle to stop it from rattling.
  • I am going to re-paint soon. Not happy with the finish.
  • Will be putting a lock on it next week.
When I get my hard folding tonneau, I am going to have to rethink this. But I probably wont get it for another few months.

Yes, nice job. I like it and will have to copy this with some modifications to fit my BuiltRight MOLLE panels.

Great! I was planning on doing something similar once the weather warms up here. I was thinking of adding one of those locking kits for the ammo can.

If you can, I'd just make an extended bracket to drop the can down some to get the clearance you need. Also, nice work on your rail system. I was thinking about just adding a couple extra anchors, buy I might do a rail system like yours now. I've also got some random ammo cans laying around that would make a good storage solution. Got a couple fat 50s and a couple 40mm cans.

I was hoping for some live ordnance.

Just kidding - great mods here!

Nice!!!

That would be a good place to mount an ARB single compressor.

Off topic but can you guys recommend some kind of low profile outdoor toolbox I can put on the top of my cargo rack to fit some tools and supplies? I don't want it too high to obstruct my view of the rear window.
