I didn't measure them but I have two hinged ones that are roughly the same size as foot lockers, I have one about 24x24x30, and one 20x20x20. And a few wooden cannon boxes.
I don't know the nomenclature, but they look like a portable rack system for any computer/electronic/radio gear setup. It's general purpose, not meant for any one specific installation.
Believe it or not, most of what I said can fit easily into a 3/4-ton trailer, like a M101 or M116 Pioneer tool trailer, if you make efficient use of the space inside, might have to box some things together or make some custom shelves. But what I put in the list is easily doable. I've seen some...
Here's some ideas I have:
BBQ grill - take the legs off it and mount it to a solid surface but with a drip pan underneath to catch the grease. Fed from a large propane tank mounted elsewhere on the trailer
sink/faucet - fed from tank of water, gravity fed, mounted high on the trailer to get...
Here's a theoretical for you. You're building a camping trailer, one you can take to rallies and everything you need for your trip and to stay comfortable and fed should fit in this trailer. Doesn't matter what the trailer is, M101, M105, M416, civvy trailer - doesn't matter.
Question is...
Well, had a great time yesterday with joediveguy in the yard, and I met nickd there as well. Always great to spend time with other Steel Soldiers saving parts for our projects and other SS members.
Didn't take many pictures - to be honest this time of year the yard is overgrown with weeds...
They looked big, but I could've sworn I saw one sitting in the bed of a M101 there at the yard. I'll get some pics next time, and maybe measurements....
We will be having a MV rally at Rausch Creek Offroad Park in October again this year. It's private property, thousands of acres and dozens of miles of trails, some of the best offroading in the NE. Search under "Rausch Creek rally" on this site for more pictures from past rallies and more...
I had several I named after their condition: "Rusty" "Princess" "Weezer" "Drippy" and "Shiny"
I had several I gave girls' names: "Inara" "Kaylee" and "Jessica"
And my own personal deuce I named after a movie tough guy: "Jayne"
While at Coleman's today, in the back lot, there are a bunch of "clothing repair" trailer inserts, most are stacked up like cordwood but a couple were dropped into M101 trailers. They were rectangular inserts that had plenty of doors and storage compartments, you open them up and there are...
If it has to do with asbestos, I'm not sure anyone can give you 100% reliable information without some form of liability for breaking environmental remediation laws or OSHA regs. This is pretty unique territory, I wish you the best, but I fear noone here would give you suggestions without...
Sometimes redneck engineering is exactly what is needed for a good time! At the first Virginia rally in 2008, we threw a white tarp over Opie's M109, brought out a Honda EU super quiet genset, a laptop computer hooked to a digital projector, and we watched Kelly's Heroes on the side of his...
Sam, the one I had sold to a gent in NC is still at his place and still in the same condition I sold it to him in 2008. He's got it for sale now as well, so if you want info on the truck, let me know. Would like to see it eventually get to a good home that will finish it up.
Some more M715s...
There's a Russian tank company called Tanks, Trucks and Armoured Military Sale. - Mortar Investments that specialize in the ComBloc stuff. A friend of mine poked around and they are the real deal. Check them out for what they have.
Be advised, everyone wants a tank. But owning one, even one...
I KNOW they have one of them. I don't think I'll have the $$$ for that purchase, though. Plus, once I get it how are you to receive it? Might be easier for you to go yourself, pull the part and pay Colemans for it, you're in NJ so you're not too far from there.
