Allen Deluxe 3-Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack This instant
I have had the Allen spare tire bike carrier for two years. It fits my 2000 Honda CRV perfectly and was easy to mount. Unlike some other carriers the Allen carrier is relatively light and does not add a lot of weight on the back door. This is important since any extra weight in addition to the bicycles can cause the door to droop and make it difficult to close when loaded. It is also a breeze to place the bikes on the rack, and since it has two bars they don't wobble around. Of course, some bikes are made a little differently than others and you have to figure out how to best seat each bike in the most secure manner. For security I loop a cable around the part of the spare tire carrier that is welded on the door and then around the bikes themselves. Actually, I have one cable lock permanently locked onto the spare tire mount, and then I take a second cable and loop it through the first cable. This makes the process of securing the bikes much easier. Any problems you may have are addressed VERY promptly by Allen Racks customer service. Good company! Highly recommended.Get more detail about Allen Deluxe 3-Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack.
SportRack A90275 ABS Aero XL Rooftop Cargo Box Immediately
Bought this for our 2008 Honda Odyssey. Let me tell you, it has worked fantastically! Wife drove with it on her minivan for almost six months straight with ZERO problems. Held everything she wanted, was great on the highway. Virtually no wind noise or extra rattling or anything. Almost couldn't tell it was on the car. Didn't have any leakage from rain or anything either. Very easy to open and close and put on and off. Would highly recommend it. Only bad part about it is that when we take it off to save the gas mileage (yes, it does lower your MPG) it's very large and bulky to store. Would definitely buy again though if I had to, thankfully I don't because it is very well made. Get more detail about SportRack A90275 ABS Aero XL Rooftop Cargo Box.

Master Lock 3022DAT Yellow Bungee Cord - Pack of 2 Buy Now
I bought this item to use with the Magna Cart Ideal Hand Truck, which I also purchased from Amazon. The cart was delivered before the bungee cords arrived, so I purchased a couple of bungee cords to use in the meantime.
When the Master Lock cords arrived, I was able to see the difference. The Master Lock cords are definitely of superior quality and the price was reasonable, with free shipping!

This is a new item for me. I have never owned a snowbroom. I will say that the item has arrived as expected per the item description. Quick review of the item provides one with a sense of satisfaction in their purchase. The item has comfortable hand cushions, easy to use adjustment buttons and a very sturdy design. This is a definite for someone that likes 'gadgets' and likes to differentiate themselves from the general public; even if it is only through the usage of a 'different' snowbroom/icescrapper.

Sylvania H7 XV BP TWIN XtraVision Halogen Headlight - Pack of 2 Right now
The Sylvania XV H7 bulbs have a nice full-spectrum white color, no yellow or obvious blue tint and a good pattern in my projector lamp vehicle. They are subjectively brighter (maybe 10% brighter) than the OEM bulbs. I purchased them to replace a previous set of Slyvania Silver Star bulbs that only lasted 330 hours. Hopefully, the 850 hour rating will result in longer life in my (daytime running light) car. I loved the very bright Silver Stars, but don't like having to change bulbs every 6 months.Get more detail about Sylvania H7 XV BP TWIN XtraVision Halogen Headlight - Pack of 2.

Low Price Rampage 960136 60" LED Tailgate Light Bar with Reverse Backuplight Function
I purchased this light bar and found the packaging to be fine. It shipped in its own rectangular box, which was inside a heavy duty tube style container. Installation went very easy. I only had it on my truck for approximately one week and the center cetion of lights stopped working. It hadn't rained in quite awhile so I dont believe moisture was an issue. I am very disappointed in the quality of this product.
UPDATE:
After calling Amazon regarding the defective lightbar I received they sent a replacement out the next day. It came packed well and I had high hopes for the replacement. I pulled it out of the box today and installed it on my truck and the left side reverse lights were not working. I am disgusted witht the quality of Rampage's products. I tried to contact them directly through their website when the first one was defective and I have still to get a response from them. Amazon has been excellent in helping me deal with this and promptly administered a refund. Get more detail about Rampage 960136 60" LED Tailgate Light Bar with Reverse Backuplight Function.
Save Lund 601016 Soft Pack Roof Top Bag
I needed extra space to bring my craft products home to FL and decided a rooftop carrier would be what I should get. After reading the reviews of several different ones, this one seemed to be the one I should get and I'm glad I did. It is lightweight, easy to set up and load and tie down. Based on one review I placed everything in plastic bags and I'm glad I did since it did leak a little. I had no problems with the straps or with wind noise. I am very pleased with this product.Get more detail about Lund 601016 Soft Pack Roof Top Bag.

Cheap Superwinch 1120210 ATV LT2000 Series Winch
This winch kit is a great value. My only complaint would be that the two wires running from the regulator to the winch motor could be a foot or so longer. I mounted the regulator in the storage box under the seat and had to splice a foot or more of #8 wire to make my connections on the motor. Other than that everything seems of very good quality and it should give me years of trouble free operation.Get more detail about Superwinch 1120210 ATV LT2000 Series Winch.

My tailgate handle broke, so I had to keep taking the bezel off to get the tailgate open. By doing this I broke the clips off my bezel. Finally ordered a new handle and this bezel.
It's just like the one that came on my truck, fits nice and snug, doesn't move, rattle, nothing. Excellent.Get more detail about 99-05 CHEVY CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP TAILGATE HANDLE TRUCK, Bezel (1999 99 2000 00 2001 01 2002 02 2003 03 2004 04 2005 05) C580706 15046512.
Shop For K Source RM011 18" Clip-on Wide Angle Rearview Mirror
Bought for hubby's truck. He has some problems with turning around in the seat to see the blind spots behind him. This solves the majority of that problem. Coupled with a pair of convex mirrors on the sides, he has it made. Putting the visors down does block the mirror but he rarely uses them so the trade-off was fine. I wish I could find one I saw in 1970 that goes from the middle of the windshield all the way over in stepped segments to the passenger side of the windshield. This is the next best thing and it is quite good so he's happy.Get more detail about K Source RM011 18" Clip-on Wide Angle Rearview Mirror.

SureFire E2D LED Defender Flashlight Max-120 Lumens E2DL-BK
I've had my E2D LED Defender for about a year now and I'm very happy with it. After a year, I'm still on my first set of batteries and original bulb (note - I carry this often but use it only periodically, so your battery mileage may vary).
This is an excellent flashlight. It's light and compact enough to carry often, will slip into a pocket (including jeans with small pockets). Fit and finish and the overall 'feel' of the surefire is excellent. The light is EXTREMELY bright, and having the option of a less bright light (to use less battery power) is a huge plus. The 5 lumens mode is fine for most situations where you need a little illumination, and the 120 lumens provides the option of a truly bright light. I carry this often as a light, but also as a concealable impact weapon given the scalloped bezel and extremely bright light. I.e., if jogging at night, this is a great thing to carry for both a practical light and a defensive weapon, though note it would not be very useful against dogs.
4 stars - great product, I can't give it 5 stars because of the ridiculous price (other manufacturers such as Fenix make excellent lights at better prices, but overall the Surefire does offer fit and finish that I haven't encountered in other lights plus the scalloped bezel).Get more detail about SureFire E2D LED Defender Flashlight Max-120 Lumens E2DL-BK.

Master Lock 2953AT 12-Volt DC Portable Winch Top Quality
Let's not get carried away. This is not a big winch like the ones you see fastened to the bumpers of monster 4-wheelers. It is much simpler than that. And for what it is designed to do it works very well. For infrequent light duty winching this is the perfect tool.
It has a built in handle for carrying, detachable power and control cords, and enough cable to get you within 25 feet or so of whatever you are winching. It has a 2000 lb rating, and will pull that much easily. Not quickly, but easily. It has a manual crank that can be attached to the shaft. It also has a very handy mounting plate designed to slip over the ball on a ball-hitch.
The clutch is manual, and drag is set by means of a threaded knob on the shaft. It is very simple to use. Simply connect the power and control cables, loosen the clutch, pull the cable to whatever you need to pull and hook it up. Then tighten the clutch and press the button on the control handle and start winching. Be patient. There is only one speed and it is slow. But it works.
I have tested the winch by hanging it from a beam and picking up the front of a truck with no problem. Then we really put it to the test by using it to pull our garden tractor out of the mud. It was a long pull so we needed to add a tug strap but it was easy enough to hook up. The pull was painless. The winch is slow because it gets it's power through gearing. It is quite a drain on a car battery, so it helps to leave your engine running while you pull.
Not something you would want to use every day but very handy to have around. For my money this is a 5-star tool. Great for the boat owner or for use around the farm. Get more detail about Master Lock 2953AT 12-Volt DC Portable Winch.
Swagman XC Cross-Country 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) This instant
Swagman XC Cross Country 2 bike hitch mount rack for 2 inch receiver is study, steady and secure for two heavy bikes. Secure easy load and unload; ZERO bounce on the highway! Takes about 10 minutes to set up first time, then less than 20 seconds to load and secure each bike and even less to unload. Folds up, stores easy. The tapered hitch pin is key to the no-wobble, no bounce fit but requires a wrench to install and remove rack from vehicle. The pin also has an exposed hole for retainer clip but you could easily use a lock instead. Good value and more stable than anything else I've seen on the road.Get more detail about Swagman XC Cross-Country 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver).

Allen Deluxe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Decide Now
I use this rack on a 2000 VW beetle with a spoiler. Figuring out how to use it was easy, the only thing is that on the beetle you can only hook the bottom strap to the bottom lip of the trunk forcing you to mount the rack a bit high. Mounting the rack high puts it at a high angle and the bike closest to the car will touch the back window with a peddle. I just wrap that peddle with a small towel and secure it with a small bungee. Another small gripe is that rack wobbles a little no matter how tight the straps. I am not sure if this is due to the shape of the car or the fact that there are only three straps. Could be both I guess. I would also recommend the cross-bar adapter if you have a women's bike or any other irregular framed bike. It really makes a difference on the stability of the rack. Overall good rack for getting around town with two bikes. Get more detail about Allen Deluxe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack.

This jack is great. I use it with my Jeep and it has come in handy several times. Not only is it a jack, but it can also be used as a come-along. It is quite heavy, but that is a good trait for me considering what it is used for. If you are looking at carrying it in a Jeep Wrangler TJ, I used a 3" muffler clamp and a 2 1/2" muffler clamp across the back roll bars to secure it. The 2 1/2" clamp fits perfectly in the holes at the base of the jack.Get more detail about Hi-Lift Jack HL485 Red All Cast Jack.

There are endless uses for them and they have held up to lots of use on my dive gear. They have only a few small rust stains in spite of frequent use in sea water. There is no sign of the metal deteriorating or flaking off just a few small brown spots. This is far better than most caribiners that seize up after a few months of use on my dive gear. They open easily which is good for my purposes but others have complained that they come open in pockets so it is something to consider.

Order Cruiser Accessories 20050 Classic Lite, Black
I like this frame because it is thin and understated. It does not feel flimsy and I expect it to last in Southern California because rust is not a problem.
What I don't like is the mounting holes at the lower part of the frame. I know that license plates also have mounting holes at the bottom, but I have not seen a car that used those for attaching license plates. I would prefer either tabs at the bottom of the frame or some sort of covers to give it a finished look.
Also, I was able to find this exact same frame at a local Autozone cheaper even after SoCal tax. Get more detail about Cruiser Accessories 20050 Classic Lite, Black.

Yakima DoubleDown 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack Top Quality
Purchased this product one year ago. Rack is used for road and mountain bikes, all frames are different shapes and sizes. Securely holds bikes without damaging them. Bikes will not move when all straps are used. Well built heavy duty unit. Very little wear and tear after one year of use. Fold down arms and fold down mast feature work well. Individual bike cradles are movable and adjustable for any frame or spacing between bikes. Fold down mast allows access to back hatch (Jeep Cherokee) with no problem. I have even folded it down with bikes on to access the hatch (not recommended, but it will work). Previously owned a Rhode Gear rack mount which was good, but this is a much better product by far. Also purchased lock for hitch pin which works well. I would highly recommend this product. Get more detail about Yakima DoubleDown 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack.

Save Blitz Rhino Ramp 12000 Extreme
This ramp is good for small cars. It may be powerful when you get the car up, but first you have to get the car on the ramp! With my BMW 650i, the ramp keeps sliding away and creating dangerous situations. It slid 6 out of 6 time and thank god it slid away from car and did not hit anythung serious, but it can also damage the car. When one slides and the other tire stays half way up, the car is slanted and you are always scared if one of the ramps gets wedged under the car. Then you are screwed really good!
I recommend this ramp for light cars with plenty of clearance. I wish they would make one with lower height and longer (lower degree of ascend).Get more detail about Blitz Rhino Ramp 12000 Extreme.
