    Creature Comforts

    Yes I got one as well but on eBay for $4.99 CDN as they come from Ontario. Last forever as you said. Also available at: http://www.offroadtrailtools.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=182 for a bit more than you paid.

    Creature Comforts

    Just got the BakGlo from LV and it does have the new handles, and does fit folding chairs. That's why it has an indentation in the middle to go through the back forks of the chair.

    Jerry Cans vs. Replacement/Aux Fuel Tanks - Pros/Cons

    You have all come up with some very good :iagree: points that I missed (most have been added to summary post#1) in my discussion with my son on this topic. Thank you thus far.

    Jerry Cans vs. Replacement/Aux Fuel Tanks - Pros/Cons

    All valid points, but I think I caught that with the more complex installation, problematic, etc. as well as difficulty in finding the right tank, builder and location. Clint I agree with most of your points, however building a strong one or better positioned is subjective, as it goes to the...

    Arb sport camp chairs

    Appears to me that the Kokoda Chair and ARB have the same frame. Perhaps ART gets them to make the frame and a custom cover? AND BTW the Kokoda Chair weights 6.75 kgs or about 15 lbs not 7 lbs.

    Jerry Cans vs. Replacement/Aux Fuel Tanks - Pros/Cons

    I always seem to get into this discussion :coffee: with my son and wonder what you all might think? We could do it here, kinda like a OJ test without the testing, just the discussion and conclusions. Having 2 rigs [73/77 series]: one [73] with replacement tank + 2 jerry cans [H2O] and one [77]...

    Creature Comforts

    The LV site is showing the older version of this gadget, I spoke to the manufacturer and they assure that it now has green handles and can accommodate different chairs. It was 007 (Clint) that put me on to this gadget which I hope to test soon.

    Too bad about the fire hazard and using gases. Maybe a leak while you sleep could turn to a serious accident.

    Creature Comforts

    Harbor Freight/Walmart Some really inexpensive (read cheap) gadgets can be had at Harbor Freight and similar stores. I got a collapsing bucket for 4.99 their once. Similar collapsing garbage buckets are also available in various sizes. However, as much as I like the store, it does carry the...

    Toyota rear axle vent caps

    Maintenance is everything on a rig when one travels a lot solo and to remote locations. As Kurt said, they need to be cleaned. I have all 4 breathers (diffs, trani/transfer case) going to my engine bay tied into one breather. This can be easily removed and cleaned with brake fluid, WD40, gas...

    Creature Comforts

    It works with all kinds of chairs. Read links above. Tents are not really gadgets. Gadgets are usually smaller and can fit inside one's rig---but the table is excellent! I too have used this but my back doesn't get warm and when anyone passes by behind you they tend to step on the handle and...

    Campfire Back Warmer Have you ever sat in front of a campfire on a cold evening, only to have your front bake while your back froze? This ingenious device is the answer to this problem. It is a reflective sheet that clips onto almost any chair (especially good with folding chairs) and, curved...

    ARB Fridge question

    Not so Teamjeff, the adhesive will not get sticky! I have a friend I travel with who has the ARB plus many others and no one has had any problems with the adhesive. The Engel transit bag also has Velcro holding the top to the lid and has never been sticky or messy and it has been to 135F in the...

    ARB Fridge question

    Totally agree with Nathan. I have an Engel MT45 with transit bag and it helps to not only keep it like new, but insulates it from the heat so it doesn't have to work so hard to keep everything cool/cold or frozen. Therefore reduces battery consumption, resale value (one day it will happen) and...
