Post Your Ammo Can DIY Project

[Bulldawg]

Hello All -

I have an old ammo can that looks like the one below. I think it would be cool to come up with something to do with it, but I'm not sure what to do yet. If you've done any neat DIY projects involving ammo cans, post them here and inspire me!

I used a double size bolted down to the floor of my old '71 CJ5 as a lockable strong box. It got the bed liner treatment along with the tub when I did the frame-off resto. No digital pics though, sorry

I'm just trying to keep my cans filled!

I just put ammo in mine, but I do it myself. Does that count?

I have a plastic one that I mounted an old computer power supply in. I then mounted several usb charging points on it and a 12 volt car plug socket in it. I also mounted a computer case fan in it so it will dissipate heat. I'll take pictures of it when I head back down to the shop.

Not the same kind of ammo can, but this is my creation. I have a 3/8" rod going thru it and mounted to pillow block bearings on top and bottom. Holds some of my trail gear and tools and has a catch on the side to lock it in place. Bottom hinge of lid is welded so the lid swings but doesnt come off. The top pillow block mount also is part of my high lift mount.

well done sir!
That's what I was talking about.
Also like to see the dual sport guys mounting cans on the side of their KLRs and other bikes.
