Post by: Jet86 on November 07, 2011, 06:15:36 PM
I bought a Steel sheet plate and found a welding shop near by' an hour later and $27 this is the outcome. not to bad for what i need it for witch is Hauling my own 3 gallon jug of drinking water since the water here is nasty and pretty much undrinkable. its not pretty but i dont care.

I don't see what's supporting it.
If its the stock rack, its not strong enough for 3 gallons.

I agree, he should have just duct taped a milk crate back there, after all, it is a pre-requisit of COG to show utmost frugality in farkle design, and if it includes duct tape, it always scores mega points. ;D

+1

been there done that' but i used bungee cords, how on earth could i have forgot about duck tape.

Once again this is my only Transportation so i have to make due. it is the stock rack and one of the pics shows the four bolts holding it on, i have carried a 5 gallon jug with four gallons of water but i felt that was a bit much but it handles 3 gallons just fine, also im not hauling it very fare.
it's easy to remove so its not a problem, but for now if you see a guy going down the road with a 3 gallon water bottle or Large pizza hut pizza strapped on the top crate that would be me.
