Im building mine out of drill stem. It should be able to hold up the 6.9. May be a sob to move but it should hold.

No neoprene casters, steel is the only way to go.

Didn't even look at either to see if the casters were removable, don't care, they are all removable with a plasma, oxy/act or grinder.

However the likely hood of me messing with it is slim to none, unless it's broke.

Couple tack welds on the swivel plates would stop two of them casters from swiveling right quick, read previous paragraph!

-Enjoy

Everything posted on CL is automatically assumed to be knocked 33% down in price. I bet he'll let it go between $75-$100.

It's not the same as the Jegs, I doesn't look any better, it looks solid, it doesn't come apart.

And there is the craigsripofflist concern, it's to far to physically deal, I'd rather pay more for less!

-Enjoy
