Looking for ideas or examples for using the second battery position in the NNBS for additional storage like was available on the OBS trucks. Will that OBS box fit? I was thinking of a properly sized ammo box or something. Would like to keep some tools, jumper cables and bulbs in there.

I used to have a acquaintance with a felony and he would keep his gun under the hood, lol because the cops were not smart enough to look under the hood if he got stopped and searched.

but this looks like it might fit

some of the older trucks had a storage box option but it is configured different

yep, I was wondering if maybe they would sell one without the metal bracket, i bet if you poked around the internet you could fine something similar just the plastic box, straps are easy to come by and the existing battery holder bracket would work fine (assuming your's has one my Denali did) otherwise you can get those also they are the same as the nbs ones

Here is an interesting solution on the forum. Not sure which size box they used.

That would be cool to keep jumper cables in. I mean, if you ever need to use them you're going to be right there with the hood open anyway!

I'd do something like this so I could move my cables from the back storage area, but my catch can is mounted there

They make large plastic Battery boxes that could be installed there and used for storage - find them on Amazon

You can get way cheaper battery boxes almost anywhere.

Just a few with a quick search on Summit...
