Had to use the 300TD to haul them both home, as the Jeep GC does not have the cross bits on the roof rack. A couple of fun noodles on the Mercedes bars did the trick!

That is awesome!

Where in CO are you? I am up north, in FC.

I was cleaning up all the garbage and scattered clothes around a local clothing bin and this was in a box in the weeds. I dont know what it is but I like it.

Very cool - maybe keep your cuff links and tie tacks in it?

Looks like it would hold a scoll of some sort.

Or it was to carry money from a bank drive-thru terminal at a bank in Tibet!

You could bury some treasure in it.

Found this Inno low profile ski box on the neighborhood FB page.
Carbon fiber lid, few scratches but no cracks.
Can use it on my wife's CRV but it will be going on the little Toyota Matrix awd that I picked up as a third vehicle for us and as a driver for my son.
The replacement for this box runs around $1200 in Canada and got this for $250.

Going to try a little compound on the scratches today and see if they buff out.

No - go read upstream for context, Herr O.....

================

I've stopped dragging stuff home and will be down sizing over the next year.

But I did pick this glove up in the roadway today - heavy duty and fits my left hand so can put to use cleaning parts.

The best part is it's small and doesn't take up much space....ha ha....

Nothing to give it scale. Maybe wax cylinder phonograph tube?

You need to take those 2 trenching shovels out and list them separately as follows:

Irrigation trenching shovels - almost new condition! $30 each or both for $50!

Then when the buyer shows up throw in the other tools for another $20......

[stevej37]

I'm just trying to clear them out to get rid of them.
I'll keep them or donate them before l come down on the price on them..

[herr_oberst]

Donate them to your local tool library and take a tax writeoff.

I have no tool library and I have no tax write offs.
I just pay it.
