Shipping containers will collapse on the sides and in the middle of the roof when buried in dirt. The strength of the sides is in a direct vertical load, and the roof part has almost no continuous load bearing ability (it's safe enough to walk on). If you put steel beams on the roof, side by...
Got some big tow bars that need a good home. Two with feet are $200 each, one without feet is $150. Anybody need to pull a track (dozier) or log truck? will only load if there is an interest as these suckers are what the Army calls a four to six man lift.

Tim,
Stampy needs roof vents, I could use some hand rails, and probably the jacks. Bring all the small parts to the rally and you probably won't go home with them!
You will need an AM-2060 for the PRC-77 to mount onto, then an MT-1029 for the AM-2060 to attach to. The antenna base will be the MX-6707. You will need both an antenna cable and a power signal cable to switch frequencies between the AM-2060 and the MX-6707. Both of these will depend on what...
Scepter in Canada has made fuel cans, never heard of Spector making them. Diesel spouts are a big no-no in the USA because of California Air Quality Regulations imposed on all states by the EPA and DOT. However, they are available in Canada.
