DIY Engine Bay Storage

[THEREED]

I saw a thread on previous generation trucks where you could buy a storage box for under the hood so I decided to make a small one for myself. Just took a plastic ammo style box and drilled a hole in the bottom and attached to the extra battery tray with a toggle bolt and some large washers. The lid opens about 3/4 of the way before hitting the support above the tray but fine for items you may not use on a regular basis. For me, I loaded it up with emergency items like a first aid kit, siphon, flares and some other random extra tools. Nothing fancy but for 20 mins of work a good spot to store some stuff and free up space under seats and glove box by moving it to this container.

Nice work.

Well that's brilliant. I'll have to do this to throw some basic road emergency stuff in there. Thanks for sharing!

Rural King has them for $3.50. I have quite a few.

You can also use a battery box.

A member here posted this on another thread, it's a simple and great idea. Storage box for 90's pickups

I like those as an option, means I can pull some of the emergency stuff I keep in the cab in there instead.

Nice fit. Do you have a part # on that? Where can I get one?

Great idea but I'm not sure I would store flares in the engine bay!!

[THEREED]

Ha - I was wondering when someone would mention the "flares". I actually meant those emergency glow stick type things not a true flare as that could get interesting if a flare was ignited under the hood!
