    Shipping Container Dolly?

    Re: RE: Shipping Container Dolly? It's not actually new vs old style container. It's a regular/standard container vs a high cube (8' vs 9'6" in height) . 8' is still the standard. Length of containers is more frequent variable (now often 48' or 53' vs old standard of 40').

    How to make a M911 do highway speeds?

    Just stick to 47mph. That's the designed speed and how much $ is it worth blowing. Rods thru the side on the 8V92 are expensive.

    Popcorn, Old Men, and Big Green Iorn

    TROOP STRAP. EVERYTIME you're hauling passengers in the bed. If you don't have the correct OD strap use rope between the eyelets. Dumping the gal standing by the tailgate out on her head would not be pretty.

    CHOPPED HA! Dropside MOUNTED- pics
