need some help with how to mount a pair of 50Cal ammo boxes on the back wheel wells on a 4 Dr jk hard top.the boxes are 6x11x7 and will fit between the back seat and roll bar on top of the wheel well.so how to mount them?drill a holes in the wheel-well?weld brackets to the wheel-well?make brackets and use magnets to hold in place? any opinions will help.

p.s. some pics of the boxes and where i like to put them.

 

I think I would drill holes and mount permanent. Let me know how they work, I think that is a good idea. Maybe paint them black or cover with carpet.

 

I would maybe rivit a strap on each side for easy removal.

 

thinking to make a permanent mount using nutsert as shown by gpwpat in the JK Write-Ups forum on Rear cargo tie down anchors.and will also have to make some kinda strap to lock it/remove.I will keep you posted. mark

 

223. Cal those are M16 not M2 Let us know when you figure it out.

 

LOL, yeah i noticed the 5.56mm on those too.

I think i would mount them to the left of my preferred firing position - Empty hot brass in the live ammo boxes can cause jams. :toung:


That is actually a good idea though, i figured someone would come out with those injection molded things for that spot, but this would be more secure i should think.

 

I have quite a few sitting around at home. I also have some 25mm boxes. They make great tool boxes. If only I could get the dealer to order mine. :sad:
