Other Trailer storage ideas needed

[20superjet07]

I am thinking about adding a storage box to the front of my trailer for storage. I also want to make a couple gas can holders and weld them to the trailer. What ideas or pictures do you all have? Thanks!

Look on craigslist for a truck tool box. Uaually find a decent one under $50 with keys and they hold a lot of junk. 30mm ammo cans hold the red 5gal gas cans and 2 quarts of oil.

I just made this fuel can mount, if you have this style jug.
If you have the safety jugs, the ammo can Dragginblazer mentioned works great, i've seen it in action!

I haven't mounted it yet because i have to find a place for my beach cart.





I was looking at this kind of box because its smaller than a truck tool box. This is 35gal.

I took a harbor freight hitch hauler and cut it down and welded to fit 3 five gallon gas tanks. I run a cable through them and pad lock them in. Then in front of that I have a tool box in front of it that I bolted angle iron on the front and back of it and welded it to the trailer. Here is a pic but it doesnt have my gas tanks on it and its not really the best pic. If you want to see more let me know I will snap some.

I got some locking 55 gallon size construction storage boxes from home depot for 50$ they are bigger that all the others i have seen pictures of on here and they have a handle and wheels so if you use a pin system to mount you can take them off and roll them where ever. it has a tool tray on one side i keep all kins of stuff in it gas cans, goggles, boyes, spark plugs and other parts and you dont have to worry about your stuff because it has dual locks and you can add pad locks to the latches as well.i seen they are 68$ now .

I had a plastic box on my trailer, held on w/ a aluminum plate and U bolts. It lasted about 4 years then the bottom broke out and the box fell off. I switched to aluminum - Pro-Tec truck box that was built to fit under a tonneau cover inside the truck bed.

So here is what I decided to do...
