Had an extra jerry can laying around and decided to use it for a storage compartment ... Thoughts and comments on this project ???

Looks good, Great idea, I probably would've painted it another color, maybe something matching your truck. The question I have is it mounted, strapped down or just loose in your trunk.

Thats really cool. I envy you guys with these type of skills to do such cool things.

Very cool idea, I agree that I would have painted it another color though. How is it anchored?

That was the only dilemma ... I finally decided to drill 2x 1/4" holes with oversized washers in the side panel because I planned on making it a permanent fixture on my vehicle and I feel very confident it was the right choice ! It is extremely rigid with no flexibility in any direction and is flush mounted with the wheel well so it uses that little bit of space where nothing else fits . In reference to the choice of color , I decided to paint it red because everything else I installed aftermarket on the exterior of the vehicle is also red . brake calipers , powder coated coil spring , TRD badges , tow hooks , etc ... When the hatch is open it accents the rest of the "off road" look I'm shooting for . thanks for the positive feedback !!!
