Saw a post from a bit ago talking about storage for their gear and linked the exact thing and bought one myself. Did a paint job on it and I think it came out pretty well, not bad for $90 to me

That was a option but I searched around to see what other people were using and this guy in the army mentioned this one and posted pictures and I was sold.

Right on!

I ended up pulling the trigger on a pelican and outfitting with Velcro strips on the lid (from the inside) Good spot to throw pouches and other msc. items.

Damn I might have to try and figure out a way to set something like that up

Hobby store was my friend when outfitting lol. Found some strips and simply measured and cut. Saw it on a YouTube video lol

Some stuff is marked up because of the brand.

Pelican is a bit like that but the quality matches the price.

I will say, it’s solid. Went from displaying my shit on a rack to something more convenient and wanted to spend the extra dollar. Glad I did. Not so much of an eyesore like a rack is.

I lucked out on Facebook marketplace and found a Pelican 1660 for $50, the lady definitely didn’t know what she had but then again I did have to pick it up in a very rich neighborhood

Ironically, more camouflaged before you painted it.

I mean thief’s will presume tools or something valuable. It’ll be grabbed just as easily as camo spray painted case.

I did the same thing with the big Milwaukee pack out. Works great.

u/Individual_Ideal4313 1d ago

Works pretty damn great

u/TheeJakester 1d ago

The only thing that wasn’t as good as I hoped is I keep it in my basement and you can’t really roll it up the stairs without scuffing them up. So I have to pick it up and carry it up the stairs, and that’s not fun.

u/Individual_Ideal4313 1d ago

Im not worried about that thankfully imma beat this thing the hell up throwing it in and out of my truck lmao

u/TheeJakester 1d ago

I don’t mind beating the case up, but the wife does mind me beating the stairs up 😂

u/Individual_Ideal4313 1d ago

Aw damn I didn't think that my lady is gunna be pissed if I wheel this thing around carrying dirt 😂

u/TheeJakester 1d ago

It definitely won’t be her favorite thing.

u/PALMERSMASH 14h ago

I’m disappointed in myself for never thinking about painting these cases. Lol

u/Individual_Ideal4313 13h ago

I got inspiration from someone else doing this so I said why not lmao

u/PALMERSMASH 13h ago

Looks great

u/Agreeable-Fix3706 1d ago

How is it holding up?

2

u/Individual_Ideal4313 18h ago

Haven't taken it out yet but I'll probably end up doing a update once it has some range trips

u/Dvvonte 1d ago

Currently using the craftsman versastack 30in

u/Individual_Ideal4313 18h ago

That was a option but I ended up with this one

u/PurpD420 16h ago

Pelican 1615 air, I fly with my guns and gear all the time

u/Either_Astronaut_302 1d ago

I did the exact same thing, you can't beat it for less than $100

u/head01351 18h ago

Oh they sell the same under a different name in my local hardware, might have a look

u/Individual_Ideal4313 17h ago

If you were curious about the actual thing there is the link.

Best idea I got buying these instead of a pelican.
