making my 5 a 6

Be careful the next time you open your tool box..........Ya never know what surprise is waiting!

 

good thing it wasn't a clown

 

Oh... That's a real clown!

 

Ray ,,,Cold Snap out the nose thanks a lot

 

obt....I like it.

 

still no box underneath ,,,,,maybe work on it today
a little 2wd run in the mountains ,,,no rocks to play on so I found this stump ----Stump Crawler .....now that was a tough climb ,,,really ,,,,straight up,pushing hard on that axle

 

What are the dimensions of the box you're looking for?

 

30" x 19ish x 6" ish
maybe an electrical panel or 2 metal jackhammer boxes welded together ,,, open on top since the floor is the top ...I need to call you sometime today Alan

 

Hey Steve,

Nobody down your way have a sheet metal Shear & Brake?................build one!

 

Terry

Herr Jeepenflogger?

 

Thanks Ole buddy...............Opps your not old ................sorry!

 

I got Hummels

 

well finished the secret box today ....with the carpet cover you cant see the lid ...just how I like it
shhhhhhhhh ,only you gius know ,,,,just need to caulk the joints a little . box dimensions turned out 19"x 30"x 5.5"
,bottom floor is 1/8",2 sides are the cj6 bulkheads and 2 sides are sheet metal. the bottom floor is tied to the cj6 body mounts and bolted to the floor

I was able to stuff a box of welding sticks ,my OBW cables and goggles and my OBA stuff, a 20' tow strap ,a tree saver, a siphon hose and my medic kit into the belly .....
now that that's done I have to figure out how to keep it shut ,,,,for the just in case unplanned flop or all that stuff will come out the hole and klunk me in the knoggin.......



I also weighed the little piglet and she is a little big boned at 3740 lbs .fully laden with 30 gal of fuel......

 

nice hidey hole

 

did you use a rubber seal around the lip?

 

Hey Bud, What's it look like from the bottom?

 

I got an idea of how you can keep that lid shut. you'd have to drill out the front part of the lid where the pull up handle is.
or this could work

Noah that lock is good but might stick up too far ,,,,wanted a flat floor there for stuff . thinking some kind of sliding lock .......
Terry it's hard to get a pic from the bottom ,,,,,I'm wheel'n this weekend maybe I can flop it over for a closer look,,,,,,, OK?
Rejeep there is a stock gasket in the lid that's in great shape

 

Thought it might stick up too much. something like this?
