gas bottle holder things...

[jeepdreamer]

So I found some of these things in the recycle center here yesterday and not really sure what to use them for. At first I about crapped myself thinking they were a military version of a Roto-Pac. Once I got home I googled them and found out they are for transporting hospital gas (Oxygen I suppose) in a tactical environment. I grabbed them even though I don't know what I'll use 'em for just because they are kinda cool (and made by Hardigg, haha!)... But anyone have any ideas what use to put them to?

From the rugged outer shell to the comfortable handles, every element of the TankMate case is designed to provide ultimate protection. The TankMate case is impervious to temperature and impact and molded-in handles and ribs make for easy lifting and secure stacking.

Wow, not much useable space with those dimensions

Yeah... I gotta agree with ya HD. Though I can't imagine needing to carry actual gas cylinders... I need to look closer at them. So far they have just been taking up room in my XJ. One thoguht I had was maybe making a pair of giant tool rolls that could fit into them. I'll post up any other thoughts I have. Anybody with ideas... feel free to send them along.

Since I found about 5 good ones of these (One has a spot where it got put on something hot and melted?) I may just try and fab them onto my XJ temporarily. I could probably put some recovery gear like chains/ropes etc in one (each) of my vehicles. Not sure yet about the rest as I haven't had much free time to ponder other applications lately. I'll come up with something...
