    Camp Chairs

    I really like my Alps Mountaineering Leisure Chair https://alpsmountaineering.com/leisure-chair-parent.html Amz has them for $80...much more than I paid from Sierra Trading Post 11 years ago. Still going strong after 11 years though. The handle on the bag dry rotted off as well as the...

    Tarp Under Tent - Common Practice?

    I've got part of a solar cover from a pool that I cut to fit under our tent. We camp out of my truck so space isn't a huge concern. Its basically like bubble wrap, but with much thicker plastic. Helps protect the bottom of the tent and also give a little cushioning.

    12v portable fridge

    Bodegacooler and Alpicool are the same thing, with different colors and names on the outside. We started out with an Alpicool, was defective when received (compressor was extra loud). Returned to Amazon and bought the Bodega version since it went on sale. Same thing but blue. No issues with the...

    Replacement bumpers for 2022 Tremor? Sensor friendly?

    Buckstop does have an aluminum option for their bumpers, that should greatly reduce the weight. I've got an aluminum bumper (TJM) on my '05 F250 and its lighter than the factory bumper, I can carry it with one arm. The buckstop aluminum option does have some steel in the construction from what...

    Advice needed. Adding bumpers, winch, and lights on a 2022 Ram 3500 Megacab

    For the bumpers, I'd say it comes down to personal preference that it meets your needs and your budget. No reason to have same company bumpers on the front and back. I've got a TJM on the front and Buckstop on the rear. I wanted the full guard on the front due to lots of deer in PA! I ended up...

    Bodega vehicle fridge / freezer

    If you don't need a fridge asap, add it to you Amazon cart then move to it saved items. I did that and the one I got (Bodega 50L) went on a lightning deal and got it for $323 after taxes. The price also bounced up an d down a good bit even with the lightning sale. The Bodega is the same as...

    Warn 16.5 Ti-S

    The Sherpa winch may be half the weight because its probably sized closer to the standard 8 or 9000 pound winch. If you put a 16.5ti next to a normal 8000lb winch, the Warn will dwarf the others. If you look at dimensions of the two, the Warn is much bigger, the spool is 3.5" on the 16.5 and...

If local to me, I certainly wouldn't charge $200, nor would my brother. Would be an licensed and insured person, but I would think you could find...
