Pelican Case Ideas??

[dakota123]

So i came up with a Pelican 1690 http://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1690-Case-Foam-Black/dp/B000MF3078 case that was given to me and was wondering what i should do with it. Im currently building a trailer http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/144068-1980-Packard-Truck-Bed-Off-Road-trailer-build and wanted to tie it in with that somehow. Is there anything cool/unique guys do with these things?

Kitchen housed inside the pelican on a rear mounted swing out is the coolest to me personally.

I have one of those - kitted out as a my tool storage box. It has several "trays" of tools in it, all securely stored away in a non-description manner. Rollers on it makes it easy to manuver around.

I just looked at my box with the trailer and it may be a little to big for the back of it.... :/

just curious, some have said to mount the case outside. how do the pelican cases hold up to the uv exposure? any real world examples? highdesertranger

Im curious about this to. I feel like they would fade and start turning white like any other plastic would

We use pelican cases for work, and one sits in the sun 8 hours a day 3-4 days a week for the last 10 years. Scuffed, scratched, and eventually the latches break, but no noticeable fading...... At least not with the yellow color.

I was given a 1620 also so it looks like i will be working on this soon!
