[ASNOBODY]

*UPDATE* GONE TO A HAPPY HOME...

Ok one more while I take a break from organizing stuff in my garage to watch Game of Thrones LOL...

Anyone need, or know someone that needs a partial basic tool set? I'd rather send all of this to one person that actually needs this and may make use of it all and save them some cash if they don't already have some trail/garage tools.

I used to have these in my old truck but they've just been taking up space and collecting dust in my garage for a few years now. These were painted black to be less visible as I didn't have tinted windows or safe storage. They are pretty well used but function perfectly. Ugly? Maybe, but also ready for the back of your truck :)

Craftsman 230 piece mechanics tool set… (missing a couple small things, I will try to find or replace before sending) …I'm including the new hex key set as I know for a fact I can't find the ones that came with the set.

Dewalt 18v cordless drill… (two batteries and charger, works great)

I have a set of factory running boards for an Excursion, They also would fit an 99 to 05 Super Duty. I also have the factory cladding/rock guards if anyone is interested.

@ASNOBODY - PM me an address and I'll clean up and ship one of these thangs out to you by noon tmorrow. If I don't, I'm gonna fill it up and won't want to give it to you anymore. Ha! All are now sold other than a couple I was keeping, so you're getting one of those.



I'll still come by for a visit when out your way, though, so don't think you're going to get off easy.

Please read before asking; I have one ticket (driver) for our 2017 Off Grid Rally in September. This is a free ticket that I'm giving to someone who wanted to go but was unable to because of money issues. This is a chance for myself to give something back to our Community with no strings attached. All I'm asking is this, think before you ask for the ticket, yes it's free but I'd like to give this to someone who probably would never have a chance if someone hadn't helped them out. So with that said please feel free to reach and recommend someone or even yourself. I will notify the person who gets the ticket personally. Thanks.

Ticket has been given away, thanks.!!

This group is amazing and I love how much everyone has been sharing. I'm digging around to purposely find things to give away to a new home now.

It's small, but super sweet, it's a Nalgene Flask!
10oz Size, with a little insulating blue sleeve.

PAY IT FORWARD TIME:

I picked up a bunch of O-rings that fit caps on the Hi-Density Poly-Ethlyene (HDPE) Military Water Cans from LCI, and presumably Scepter cans, too. They came in bags of 40ea. I'm passing them along in sets of three for free (incl 1st class postage) to anyone who wants to use or experiment with a set or two.

Limit two sets per person, please, until I see no more requests. Then I'll post again if there is demand.

NOTE: Some people like and want O-rings for their water cans, others don't see the need. Some say MWCs originally came with O-rings, other say not so. This is not the thread to discuss that, but simply to ask for O-rings if you want them.

I bought O-rings to find out for myself if they're worth using and am passing on what I don't need. Details below.



These are FDA Food Grade o-rings from The O-Ring Store.

There are three sizes per set:
1 - filler cap (largest O-ring): 3 1/2"ID X 3 11/16"OD X 3/32 - #153 B70 FDA Black Buna-N 70 O-ring (FDAB70153)
2 - pouring cap (med O-ring): 7/8"ID X 1 1/16"OD X 3/32" - #118 B70 FDA Black Buna-N 70 O-ring (FDAB70118)
3 - the vent cap (smallest O-ring): 1/2"ID X 5/8"OD X 1/16” - #014 B70 FDA Black Buna-N 70 O-ring (FDAB70014)

If anyone knows of better O-rings for this application, please PM me.




After multiple tests over the last month, filling jugs to a reasonable level, moving them from the two typical storage positions (1st image above) to leaving them flat on their sides and at angles for several hours, and jostling them around vigorously, the only O-ring I've personally found useful (and only marginally useful at that), is the largest O-ring for the filler cap. The pouring cap (middle sized) has not leaked on any of my four MWCs, either with or without an O-ring, and the vent cap only squishes the bejesus out of an O-ring and pushes it out of round, rendering it useless. My experience is the vent caps actually seal tighter--and look a hell of a lot better--without an O-ring.





If you want to experiment with a set for your own purposes or are convinced MWCs are supposed to have O-rings, please don't post your opinion here or ask for a set here, send me a PM, please.

Those that send a PM with whatever info I need to mail a set to you, will get a set mailed out the next morning. No info, no bueno, no set mailed, mucho sadness. Provide the info needed, you get a set for free.

Then it's up to you to pay it forward.


edit: corrected O-ring size for vent cap

I have this basic camp kitchen that I'd love to pass along to someone in the Bay Area. We used it once so it's in great shape.

Who makes that set-up? It looks compact and I'm headed on a cross country in a few weeks!

Looks like Ozark Trail

Sounds good! We are in the East Bay but PM me and we can plan somewhere to meet. Glad it will get some use!

Wow, this imo is absolutely insane, Overland Bound for sure, is a community that defines one for the better, I for sure have a whole bunch of parts and trinkets that I have laying around, I'll be posting them on here later tonight!

Bump for the MWC O-rings . . .I still have a bunch and have them with me on the road. Anyone who would like a set as detailed below, let me know and I'll pop a set in the mail next post office I go by.

Here's my first contribution that'll I'll be happy to see go to a new home

Have a pair of Rough Country N.20 Nitro REAR shocks for an 07-13 Silverado, I'm not sure what all it'd 100% fit on besides those years, but if you know they'll fit PM me and they're yours. If it's not too expensive hell I'll even cover shipping. They've literally never left my room, never mounted, the only life they've seen is the walls of my house

Do you think they'd fit an 02 Sierra?

 

[Deleted member 14476]

Do you think they'd fit an 02 Sierra?

Sorry dude, another fellow OB member grabbed them in my PM's about 5 minutes before this post!
I'll still answer the question with that I'm not really 100% sure, my knowledge on shocks isn't too crazy, I know for sure 07-13

I'm gonna be going through a lot of stuff for an upcoming yardsale. I'll see what I've got that can be shipped out, and put some stuff up here.

I still have the Hollywood Bike Racks over spare tire, double bike carrier that I offered many thread pages ago. Can't ship this, but to anyone in need, in the LA area - let's meet up. Otherwise it's going to the yardsale.

What an amazing thread! The generosity of this community is outstanding and I am very proud to be a part of it! When i have something to pass on, I will be sure to post it!
