ammo can ideas?

I was wondering if anybody had any good ideas involving ammo cans? Currently ive got one .30 cal one behind the seat of my 90 F250 with jumper cables in it plus some emergency tools. Soon I'll have my ammo can speakers finished, and plan on making a towing/recovery can to put in my 86 off roader and plan on putting one under the hood of the 86 to put the solenoid/relays/fuses in to help keep them dry in the mud. anything else?

Throw some Styrofoam and ice in there and you have a cooler.

What engine? Carbed or EFI? If carbed, what ignition system (Duraspark, aftermerket, etc?)

Ive got a carbed 300-6, honestly, I havent given too much thought into the relays in an ammo box idea yet-too many projects right now. I saw a picture on a jeep forum of it and thought it was a novel idea. I'll look more into it on sunday.

A can like that would be a good place to put an extra DSII module and soleniods and such; I was actually thinking of making an ammo can into a under hood tool box, until I found an underhood toolbox.

personally, I use a couple of .50 ammo boxes to house all the various tools necessary to keep them going. I would suggest a couple of solenoids and keep a set of extra plugs and wires in there (mine burn out when not expected, so... yea)
