Off road tool chest/cart

[PARANOID56]

So, anybody build a offroad tool cart/chest? Where i live, (renting a room) i can only work on my crap in the large back yard, but dont like leaving stuff out. I would like to just have everthing in a cart and wheel it around, posably have my 110welder on a side shelf or something.
anybody have any cool home build or bought off road tool carts?

I saw an offroad weling cart somewhere before - I'll look for the link. I think it might have been on here actually.

you can get knobby tire casters from HF. Could slap those on a cart you already have.

Damn, those are cool.
Didnt even think of looking at harbor freight for those wheels. Thanks for the heads up, i see they have them for like5 bucks each

The fastest way to get the project jump-started would just be the Harbor Freight wagons:

I just got this one on sale for $60:

modify as needed. But they're not good on really uneven terrain, they lift tires like a stock YJ :D

I keep wanting to build one with actual wheel travel........

how is the ground in you back yard? is it super rough, hilly, flat, grass, dirt, sand.....

a friends dad races late models and when they go to the track, they take their whole tool chest with them. this isnt a regular tool chest either, its steerable, pnuematic tires, unbelievable how sturdy it is. i'll try to get a pic of this thing, its awesome. they fabbed it themselves, and they have a brake, so bending all the sheets wasnt an issue. i dont know if they tow it with an ATV or just pull it by hand. its dimensions are roughly 4'h x 4'w x 7'l.

i'll try to get pics tonight

Damn that sounds cool. Here are the pics of the one i just built. Sort of lame looking, and not finished yet. but it sure does work well :D I put the box up high, as i am putting my welder and other crap under it. i think i need more bracing also.

More Triangulation! :flipoff2:





Very nice start. :smokin:

[kpfitz]

that cart is really cool. great idea!

[ZJim]

That cart almost looks like it should have an engine under it :D

[Grim Reaper]

So your insurance paid up. Running a chop saw and welder on dry grass? holly crap!

Nice cart. :D

Paranoid - good looking cart, but won't it be top heavy with the box filled? Even with the welder under it?
