My New Armor Box

[CWard]

I recently completed my armor and was excepted into the 501st and local garrison.  My next step was to pick up a box to transport my armor so I can get out trooping.  I picked up this guy yesterday at the Home Depot.  I went there for a Stanley because it seems to be the going trend (so why reinvent the wheel) but they unfortunately all out or too small.  So far I like it a lot, I just have to do a few modifications to it (i.e. line it with foam or rubber and identification).  It is on the big side, but it fits in my FJ perfectly!

Nice protection for all that hard work.

I got the same box. Only reason I got this one is because of the two bars running across the box. I have short arms that can't lift these boxes without them. Here is what I did with mine.

Kathryn, that looks real good. I am going to do this. Thanks for the ideas.

You're welcome!

 

Here is an updated picture as I pack for the Hollywood Christmas Parade tomorrow. 

 

Forgot to mention. Make sure you have a cushion under the chest plate. I made the mistake the first time and it rubbed and scratched all the color off -.- Not fun when you're going to a troop and take out the armor with missing abs button color.

I just bought the DeWalt case as well off Amazon. I'm going to pad the inside and paint the outside.
