Gift Ideas, $40

[Bennybooster]

Hey guys, Christmas is coming up and I am trying to figure out what to ask for, for gifts, I am looking for things for my truck to improve on looks, off road capabilities or anything in general.
Thanks!

Well... do you have a CB radio? I picked up a Midland 1001Z for $25, works great.

Uhm... Off road lights?

HF lights may be cheap, but they work fairly well...

At one time, I would have suggested this, however, there are much better options... I have a Fenix E20 2-AA LED light... It shines brighter and further than a 4-D Cell Maglite LED.

Although most of us are smart enough to not park our trucks next to a fire, they're still a good thing to have.





I've had one in my truck since the day I bought it. You may want to put a piece of tape or something around the pin though, a series of nasty bumps must have rattled the pin out of mine and set the trigger off because when I looked in my box one day there was yellow dusty stuff all over the toolbox tray I had it sitting in and the pin was sitting next to the extinguisher, which was reading empty.

Bet the story next time won't be quite so funny, though.

Well if I didn't have someone to come help me I would have lost my Ranger.....possibly blowing it up....possibly making me laugh (though I was already)....

I took note to carry shovel, fireflap, and fire rake next time...on my own truck.
