Default RE: THE FIELD BOX FROM HELL! aka The Ultimate Field box!

Jimmbbo,

Ask me how many beers it took to get this far.....?

This is the "Wall Mart" box that I am working on........

Pic #1 is of the top lid. I have installed a Cermark Plus power panel with an analog volt meter for comparison....(Old Engineers like Analog meters...can anyone say Simpson...?) Should have cropped those toes out of the pic....hell I go barefoot and in shorts year round in the shop...ask me how I know Exacto knives always fall POINT first....!

Pic #2 is of all three components separated...bottom has a 35 amp/hr battery (talk about overkill, but everyone wants to charge their stuff on it) and a one gallon fuel jug. The foam keeps everything in there tight...! The top holds two transmitters, and a ton of room for other stuff, and the tray which you can load up also. I had to put a small notch in the tray handle to miss some of the wiring, but it does not create any problems.

Pic #3 shows the underside of the lid and some of the wiring. The two wires that are not connected go to the fuel pump, and will be soldered to the banana plug tabs for the fuel pump connection. This allows me to keep gas in the internal tank and glow fuel with an external pump through the banana plugs. The switch controls both, and the gas is just recycled to the internal tank when I am pumping glow fuel.

Pic #4 shows the jumpers from the top to the bottom or base for the 12 volt power. There will be another set added for the pump leads. I am going to also add one more set for a Triton charger. The yellow bag on the front holds the starter, and a bunch of other stuff.

This thing has more room than I probably will ever use, it is truly a rolling shop, which is very compact.....!

I will post more pictures when it is completed, and hopefully this added to this rather LOOOOOONG thread......have fun and spring is around the corner....!
