well ive got a 92 ranger that i swapped explorer buckets into and i tried the explorer console but i just wasent feeling the abs plastic. so i decided to build myself an ammo can console. started with the can which measures 11x10x6 (.50 cal i think)and an 1/8'' sheet of t6 aluminium. thought about painting it but i rather like its character. pictures soon
if I get it fixed I will. I drilled a hole in the little sheetmetal brace that comes off the rear inside of the cab on my 92' put a stud in and tossed a lockwasher and nut on either side drilled a hole in both ends for cotter pins and put a piece of heater hose between the box and sheetmetal brace for a quiet, tight mount. Works perfect. I wanted to use a couple strong magnets so I could keep the ammo cans weather tight but couldn't find any strong enough. but now I could roll the truck and not worry about them somehow coming loose and giving me the big KO lol. Oh and I just thought of this I've seen studs like what I made already fabbed up in stores that specialize in lawn equipment, tractors or heavy equipment! I just didn't wanna spend the money so I made mine outta the parts bin I have.
