I started with the stock spare tire carrier, and gave it some slight modifications.

And then i added a Jerry can holder witch also holds ammo cases very well.

it gains a lot of space in the cargo area, and it looks almost completely stock.(pic above when finished)
Then i started working on the other side.

I took the plastic panel off to make sure of what i was cutting, then traced what i wanted to cut with chalk.

Then i screwed the panel back into place, but i realized that my mag light mounts were too flimsy so i made some spacers for the flashlight.

Then i started on making cardboard templates for the box.

Then i cut my metal using a cut off wheel, i choose 3/16ths for the thickness because i wanted to be strong.

And i also added a hinge that i got from Do It Center for 15 dollars.

i started working on the top the same way with cardboard templates,added a lock, some paint and a carrier for my 4 way, With everything done this was the result.

Well those are my cargo solutions, let me know what you think comments please, thanks jesse
 
Nice work!

One thing that caught my eye and would concern me if it were in my vehicle is the way you mounted your mag light. It's setup in a way that can be a missle hazard in the event of an accident.

Just something to think about.
 
That looks great. I,ve got a jerry can holder sitting in my shed, now I know what to do with it.. I also have an old metal tin box I mounted my Viair compressor in, that would be a great place to store it. Great idea, thanks.
 
Very cleanly done! I'm gonna have to swing by your place for some fab work.

Same thing I was looking at. Instead of the squeeze-type clamps like you've got on there right now, you might want to look at a pair of those fist-type clamps that have been discussed a couple times here recently. They completely encircle the flashlight when clamping to themselves, and aren't nearly as likely to let a heavy flashlight bounce around in a crash.

The box looks great.

Ya i was going to flip the mag light around for now and look into some other mounting options
 
WOW! That box is awesome. Im thinking I need to do something similar now.
 
Yeah, that thing is huge!!

Awesome job, very creative and effective usage of the space!
 
What happens if you go in water up to your lights? Cool idea, but I think I'd seal off the inside of the box, and drill a drain hole in the bottom of the quarter panel.

Great box. Realy nice craftsmenship.
I found this location for the flashlight to be perfect. No holes driled.
