A cheap console

I made a cheap console for my Jeep by taking an old ammo box (the military kind, that helicopter ammo comes in) and painting it black. You can pick one of these up at an army surplus store. after painting it, you will want to drill four holes in the bottom of the box, and some corresponding holes in the floor of your jeep. After mounting it in the box in your ride, you can lock it the way that I did, by drilling two holes in the top front, behind where the closing mechanism is and inserting a U bolt. When you close the top and snap it shut the U bolt will stick out and you can insert a lock into it (hopefully the picture can explain a little better)

Re: A cheap console

Ok...I'm sold....got one left in the garage that has no ammo it it :) Jackupxj got me thinking... a couple of the old ball and socket type cup holders (anyone remember them? I used to see them on boats alot) would be real nice mounted on the front. They swivel around which would work out great on the trails. Also maybe some dividers or trays of sort inside the box would be handy. I'm getting a chubby right now as I think of this project. Oh yeah....I'm gonna Herculiner you baby....you like that...oh yeah you do!
