Cool thread!
Jscherb, thanks for posting all the dimensions.
My J10 project needs a center console, so I took a Fat 50 and added some tooled leather to the top...... need to install it now.
Beautiful!

Found this guy yesterday. Hadn't seen one like it before. It appears to be a 20mm can. Should fit nicely under my rear seat in the XJ when folded down.
I have a couple of handy tools /uses for ammo cans, these mounts would be great for securing them in any of my vehicles.
1- 18ah gelcell with an LED work light bolted to the lid also has cig lighter outlet and twin USB ports. - the garden flood has been replaced with a work light and a charge port added since this picture.
2 - 50 cal, ARB compressor with cable, hose, inflator with gauge and a set of Staun deflator.
3 - 50 cal Bluetooth/USB/FM boom box.
4 - 50 cal Speaker boxes for the CJ- 6x9" speakers with plugs for inside or outside the jeep- Sub is a 12" in a jerry can.
I also use them for electronics tools, hand tools, smaller power tools, pneumatic tools so that they are all uniform dimensions.
Next project on the list is building a variable power supply and a soldering station into a 50cal can......

The last can I acquired (see above) I am keeping a set of coveralls, large ratchet strap, small ratchet strap, and more little stuff.
I am keeping another .50cal in my daily with a strap, shackle, bungees, and spare sweatshirt. Just a little box to keep the loose crap packaged tightly.

I bought bits from Bangood, of course I can't find the exact parts now but this Bluetooth module has the same functionality.

The amp board is also from Banggood, its just a 20w 2 channel board, any size that is 12v and fits in the can will do.
Found the 4" car audio speakers in the shed and some black computer fan grilles from a shop I visited on my last trip to Hong Kong.
To be clear, it's not a totally original idea, just my attempt at a H/D sound box I thought I'd share.

Back in March XJSuperman posted about a new ammo can he found that I had never seen before and I've been looking for one ever since. It's an M139 20mm can, they're not very common so they're pretty hard to find. It's a perfect size to sit in the rear footwell of a TJ or an LJ. I just picked one up.
Usually I don't have people in the back seat on offroad expeditions so I'll use this for repair parts or recovery gear - I can keep it packed all the time and put it in the Jeep when I leave on a trip.
BTW this might not fit under the seat of some TJs/LJs, the height of the seat is different for different years. Since mine is a "low seat year" (2004-2006), I raised the seat 1" with spacers soon after I got it.

About half way up on gas pressure, it can get big!
And the hose regulator fits inside! its a little sooty in there though.
All packed up. I use it with a little 5lb bottle.

That's exactly what I use mine for. Footwell of my xj. Fits great under the rear seat when it's folded flat.Back in March XJSuperman posted about a new ammo can he found that I had never seen before and I've been looking for one ever since.

I like that, how did you set up the burner. Is it home made?
