New Mod (Not exactly sure what it is)

[MuDnYrI]

As I was driving down the Street I saw this Wooden, Metal trimmed Ammo style Box?? at a Yard Sale. I hit the brakes pulled over and bought it for $60.00 If anyone knows what it was used for I would love to know. Either way it fits perfectly in the back of the Deuce. I'm gonna mod it up a little to keep all the gear in order but for now here is a few Pics of what it looks like in the back.

Looks awesome Jim! I need some sort of cargo organization and it looks like this a great thing for that.

At a quick glance I thought it read Barack on the front :emb:

Very cool find!

 

[3Hummers]

Fits in the back perfectly.

Where ya get the box/sub sitting back there? Awesome spot as you never look out that window anyway. I put the Rockford Fosgate in the deuce, but it can use a little more boom.

It is a JL stealthbox

I have one in my H2 also.

Nice find!

 

[BW_Hummer H3]

Nice, it fits like a glove.

Thanks guys! If anyone knows what the Military used this Ammo Box for, please let me know. I would love to know what it is.
Twin, like Net said it's a JL StealthBox. It makes a big difference ... it may not be the best Subg out there but it's very good and is completely out of the way

That is too cool! I can't believe that it fits so perfectly! Nice find! :thumbs:

 

[ReconH3]

Doubt it was an ammo box. Probably a medical supply box. What a perfect find with a perfect fit.

The story the Lady told me was her Husband took her the the Auctioneers and this came up for auction. Apparently it was locked and the Auctioneers sold it as a surprise type auction ... in other words they said it could be full of Guns/anything and whatever is in there belongs to teh high bidder :whaa: So her Husband won the bidding for a staggering $556.00 :gaahnly to cut the lock and find the only thing in there was a useless part of a Gun :shame:The Wife told me she didn't talk to him for a week! :corn: She got over it and they kicked the box around there Garage for a while ... told the story a few hundred times and sold it to me for 60 bucks! :thumbs: :giggle:

:whaa: HA! That dude is a terrible gambler.

 

[alrock]

Ouch. He obviously never watched those reality shows with auctions and abandoned stuff.

There's a place out north of Ogden in Utah that has acres of surplus military junk and a really cool surplus store to go along with it. I've seen alot of different ammo boxes and the like, but not one this size or type. That's a really cool find.
As for the box, I'm not trying to win any contests, just looking for some better boom, and I think this 12" sub on a good amp will do just what I need. What amp are you running, and is it connected to the stock Bose, or have you upgraded that junk?
The only problem I could see running this is that far back seat is my ten year old's favorite place in the deuce, and I don't think she'd appreciate it a whole lot!
Thanks brotha----

Sorry for the late reply Twin but I never went back to check this thread. :emb: :shame:
I am running an MTX THUNDER 421D Sub Amp
http://reviews.cnet.com/car-amplifiers/mtx-thunder-421d-amplifier/1707-6726_7-30771503.html

By now it's well over 7 years old so prolly there are better Amps out there.
I removed the stock radio and am running a in dash touch screen Carputer which is also outdated
1 of these days I'll replace it with something better.

 

[twinmill28]

That's ok, better late than never. Since you last posted I've been watching for the Stealthboxes and they pop up occasionally, just not cheap. I've seen a couple of gutted boxes on Flea-Bay for $100 or so. This is still on my mod list, though now the stupid Rockford Fosgate speakers I put in the front doors are crap and need replacing first--I'm thinking Alpine type R's for and 4 doors might do it, plus the far back pillars.

If i remember correctly it was used in the medvac Hmmv's... It was used to carry mass trauma wound supplies and it was either stored over head or on the floor and used as a seat... It was a easy way to keep a mass amount of supplies organized and easy to transport at a moments notice... One hell of a find!!!

 

[TAPDH3T]

Here are some other designs ive seen used...
This one looks close to yours but painted..
I think u got really lucky cause the wooden cases were used way before the new age boxes like vietnam lol

 

[TAPDH3T]

Here is another design...
This one looks like yours just repainted.

I think finding a wooden one is a rare find.. Thats awesome

 

[TAPDH3T]

This is forsale in my town if someone is interested i will get it and get it shipped...
Any takers???

 

[H32NV]

THAT THING IS EXACTLY WHAT IM LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone have any ideas on where to get another?? GREAT FIND

the measurements that you sent to me seem a bit small, is he sure that they are correct? The H3's trunk is 41" wide and about 28 deep(for a good fit to shut the tailgate). And I was looking for something to almost take up that footprint, much like the first photo of the case in the H2(probably similar dimensions, maybe a little bigger). Can you confirm?
