    Got a good deal on some storage boxes

    I found three near-new Underwater Kinetics model 518 cases, complete with foam linings, at a local pawn shop today. I got them all for $48.00 plus tax. I am not usually very lucky at finding deals so I just had to brag a little about this. They are an older model but are still available...

    Thrift store find

    Found a gas grill today at the thrift store for $12.00. The pictures are after about a half hour of cleaning, it was quite a mess. None of the parts are missing and the regulator seems to work. I plan to do some more cleaning and test it out when I have time.

    m416 cover advice

    Here is a Google Sketchup drawing for an m416 cover frame. The frame uses about 70 feet of square tubing. Would .062" (approx 1/16") wall 3/4 " square tubing be sufficient or should I use .12" (approx 1/8") wall 3/4" square tubing. The thin wall tubing is about half a pound a foot and the...

    Basic m416 Build

    This isn't so much a build thread as just a basic trailer refurbishing story. I have a Jeep Wrangler TJ and wanted the additional cargo capacity of a light weight off road capable utility trailer. Lurking here at EP reading various threads I decided an m416 would work well. Unfortunately, no...
