I wanted a way to store, and protect my aftermarket charger, extension cord, and adapter.
I'm trying to stay organized so I decided to have a dedicated, durable, waterproof box I can store easily, but also grab and go if I'm going on a trip.

Repurposed a Milwaukee Packout Large Tool Box
After some heavy duty cable wrapping, I managed to fit everything in there without any concern of damage to the cables or prongs.

Currently storing:
25ft 50 AMP Extension Cord
AMPROAD Adjustable ( 10/16/24/32/40 Amp) EV Charger (don't want to pop breakers)
and my NEMA L14-30P to NEMA 14-50R Adapter

Threw the soft case on top in case I don't have time to put it all in the box. Offers some cushion also.

I can throw it in the frunk, or in the bed and not worry about water or damage

Now I can run an extension cord (being mindful of safety obviously) to charge, and also use that same cord for the Pro Power Onboard.

I figured I would post this here to give others the idea, or possibly find a better solution

Very nice. I doubled down and bought one to stay in the truck in the lower frunk space like @Heliian since I use it so often. This is a good Grab 'n Go option if you use the lower frunk for other things.

I keep my free mobile charger in the frunk, along with an adapter to plug it into the 240 V in the bed along with a J1772 to Tesla adaptor. Had the case embordered to troll my Tesla friends.

I also normally used that lower storage in the Frunk for the charger, but it would only fit 1 charger.
I have the aftermarket variable amperage charger because I don't want to pop breakers (very very stupid oversight on Fords part in my opinion - no way to do this with charger or truck).

I also have the extension cord for times when the cable isn't long enough. All of these don't fit in the lower section, and my aftermarket charger barely fits there. If I jam it in (which I hate doing with these cables) it causes the lid to be slightly elevated making it annoying if I put anything in there.
