Now your sewing kit needs a new container.I have been wanting to get a container to keep roadside essentials in like under the seat where I can forget about it but if I need it I have it. Like a spare ignition module, some fuses, relays and maybe a spark tester. Then I got into the rathole where stuff to adjust the carb, wheel seals etc would be nice too. I had a little cheap toolbox but it had to ride on the passenger floor since it didn't fit anywhere in the cab.
Bunch of new packout type stuff out now, it was really hard to find something compact that was big enough to hold what I wanted it to but not too big. Space efficiency doesn't seem to be a big concern with a lot of that stuff, extra latches to connect to other things, big bulky molded on handles etc is the norm.
But I did find this neat little Stanley container.
The thing is awesome... but the module was a hair too thick so the lid would bubbled out while closed and it also fit nowhere in the cab.
So I did some more thinking and noticed I had a tin that would actually fit perfect. It fits under the seat just how I wanted it too.
And when not in use it is cleverly disguised as a sewing kit.
And with the module out of the box now I can fit a set of wheel bearings in the tote which will still be awesome to have with on offroading trips. The loose bearing race with the spindle seals in the upper left is a new one that came in one of my rotors, I just use it as a driver to install new bearing races.
I agree. It's difficult to find decent containers that don't waste a lot of spaceSpace efficiency doesn't seem to be a big concern with a lot of that stuff, extra latches to connect to other things, big bulky molded on handles etc is the norm.
Not to worry, new ones come with cookies!Now your sewing kit needs a new container.
It looks more like a Puma...Ya know, with a little creative paint you could make those side plates look just like tusks.
Like on a wart hog . . . .
Maybe you've got it mounted upside down.It looks more like a Puma...
It is going to be so different it was almost silly to even mock it up that way.It looks ridiculous without the winch. You should keep it that way. LOL
