TK Armor Transportation


Recommended Posts

Just wondering how everyone transports their TK armor to events. Mine sits on a mannequin in my office at home but when I've traveled with it (Halloween) it just Kinda sits in the trunk, padded with some spare blankets so it doesn't roll around that much. I've seen a photo on the 501st facebook of a bunch of TK's going to a star wars weekend at Disney world and had large cooler-looking boxes with wheels. Anyone know what those are?

Because the link in post 2 is broken, i gonna repeat it here:

 

the most commonly used box is a "Stanley's".

They come in different sizes and obviously you can get them at Loewes or Home depot in america.

And really, make sure it fits your car, they are huge!

You can also opt for a smaller bin, Jayson, and carry your bucket separately.  My buddy Jeff from the Tampa Bay Squad did this so it would fit in his car, and came up with a great idea for the handle.  You can see what he did here, starting about half way down the page :  http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/33175-an-ata-for-tampa-bay/page-5

You can also purchase one of those plastic storage bins from wal-mart in the seasonal section. It's what I did, but it doesn't have wheels... My bucket doesn't fit in the bin, and with a little ingenuity, wheels can be added.

same 50 Gallon Husky Mobile job box - $129 Cdn -  https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.mobile-job-box.1000779545.html

 

current exchang rate - $64 US = $90 Cdn

I'd still come out ahead if I drove across the border + the crappy value of our dollar!

I use these Gorilla boxes.. They were like 26 or 27 USD at the Navy Exchange... They're smaller than the Stanley but fit perfectly in a regular sedan, with the exception of the bucket, the armor fits perfectly in it (I even use one for my larger TFA armor lol). They're also available on Amazon, just slightly more expensive: http://www.amazon.com/Terence-Thompson-2851-1B--14-Inch-Wheeled/dp/B000I5K1F6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453864317&sr=8-1
