  • So i built a tool box for my Jeep

    This whole idea started because i was sick of moving my top open box out of the cubby hole next to my subs just to open it if i wanted a tool. it was big and bulky and just kinda stuck out, so i decieded to take some measurements and build my own tool and storage box.
    i found a old miller display i got when i worked at Amoskeag i was doing anything it was just taking up space so the cutting began.

    this is how is sat in my basement




    started cutting into it,


    I put all the sides together and put the bottom on came out with a box 11.5" wide 12" deep and 14" tall


    I found some scrape carpet and lined the bottom and made some dividers into the bottom as well. (along with some tool to check it out)


    I then cut the back of the box with a angle so that it would match the seat and added a top with a latch.



    Next i put in a shelf 4 inches from the bottom cut a hole in the middle to make it easy to remove and used some more of that carpet that mom yelled at me for taking





    Finally load it up and check how everything fits
    Tools,

    Shelf,

    Random Stuff,

    Lock the Top.


    Best part, Sticker it up


    Now throw it in the jeep and see how it fits.


    Love It.

        Thank you for the comments.
        Also this box is lockable there is a latch on the top and i can put a pad lock on it. you can build something like this and then anchor it to the body so no one will walk away with it. this box is kinda heavy i wouldnt want to carry it down the street but you can never be to carefull
