Swiss Army Trasharoo

Build projects, things that guys have come up with to make a Pinz better (or worse?) and aftermarket add-ons.

Swiss Army Trasharoo

Post by McCall Pinz »

I always thought a Trasharoo would be handy, but never got around to buying one. Then this weekend it hit me- take the old heavy Swiss Army backpack and add two straps to create an instant, Pinz-matching, Swiss Army approved, Trasharoo. While the Trasharoos are nicely thought out, this isn't bad for $4 worth of webbing, some old buckles, 1 beer, and an hour of time.

..or you can do what this high adventure Land Rover owner did and modify the spare tire! Now they have a place for the empty Starbucks cups and dirty diapers!

Dang. If only I'd had 4 or 5 beers I could have thought of that... :?

" :idea: Hey, Billy-Bob, we need a place to properly dispose of our beer cans for later recycling. We never use the spare, anyway; we always just drive down the shoulder on the rim."

Or:

"The spare is flat; what can we do with it? We certainly don't want to get it fixed..."

Yeah, like I can see either of those thought process happening!
