Mounted yet?  or are they too heavy to lift ?  How long is the healing period?....Larry

In storage now, my plate is quite full.

The healing goes till February.

Is there a rehab program that you are going through?  Must be a pain to be lame! ...Larry

No, it was just a hernia surgery, little incision but they told me if I want it to heal, I have to hold on for a month.

Quite tricky, 10 pounds is like 3 books or so, easy to forget.

titus on that thread posted a pic of a 1000L crate for the supersized luggage...plastic container and a metal frame for it.  Guess that is for the tow behind luggage...
I've seen 1000L crates like that used for expanding foam in packing for computer monitors when I worked at a monitor & LCD rebuild & repair shop. The foam was an Isocyanate expanding foam... Don't want to ingest or burn it.

Have not read all the comments above, but that is a pretty clever guy.

I've seen guys on the ADV forum put together wood and plate aluminum boxes that are quite attractive but require some maintenance. Those gas can ones are clever.
The big metal gas can ones also, saw a stack of the at HF around first of year. Figured they were either going to start carrying them or were going to have them on sale. Had about 1/2 dozen but no sign to indicate the price.
You see that kind of can on the back of serious 4wheelers who off road sometimes. One of their badges, er, decorations marking them as serious...
In AZ I saw several older Toyotas and similar trucks guys had spent the money to outfit with fiberglass bodies and welded tubular steel frames like the stadium and baja racer trucks. Interesting but don't know if they were into it or just for show.  Cars and vehicles for/as jewelry crowd are a turn-off

Unique stuff though and eclectic stuff is cool though.  You'd have to look more than twice to figure out the Czech guy's luggage was gas cans...
