    Ehhh just because they're local doesn't mean their products are. I looked into redistributing some Chinese tents as a side gig, these are generic Chinese RTTs. For example, the only one they have in stock is this one: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Cheapest-outdoor-family-4-person-wildland_60764843163.html

    If you have ~$20k sitting around, you can pretty easily fill a cargo container with these, get it shipped state-side for $2k, and start a storefront to sell them at easily 2-3 times the cost you paid in China. That's all these Iguana guys are doing.

    Chinese-made isn't necessarily bad, but you're not really supporting local business any more than buying from any other company.

    Biggest complaints I heard about no name chinese rtt are that the covers are cheap and rip easily. which at that point just buy a new name brand cover with good reviews.

    @JakeSeig I applaud you for looking and trying to buy local. :hattip:

    Also another complaint of Chinese RTTs is any warranty parts either take forever to get or come with no warranty

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    What up my peeps, you know I like to share a good thing when I find it.

    If your in need of a good Range bag or edc bag. Look no further. These are killer bags, I got a few of their bags. Quality is top shelf!

    Anyway, use Discount Code LLOD
    And get 25% off, which is sweet for this lineup. Pricey you say? Well shit that lasts ain’t cheap and with 25% off it’s hard not to want one.

    My job is hiring in Gainesville, Ga. We're expanding and need more hands on deck. We work in the firearms industry, handling marketing and advertising for 30+ clients in the outdoor sports markets.

    Two positions:
    Account Executive- Must be very organized, know how to use Excel, be able to communicate with your clients. Business or marketing degree desired but not necessary.

    Graphic Designer- Experience in ad copy and design programs, have a portfolio of your work.

    Pay is good. Small company, so no insurance, but there is retirement, 11 paid vacation days off in addition to Federal holidays, and Christmas break, 6 paid sick days, work perks out the wazoo (if you like all-expenses-paid trips to Archery Trade Association show, SHOT Show in Vegas, ICAST in Orlando, NWTF in Nashville, Kayak Anglers Assoc. in Oklahoma City, etc), industry pricing on firearms, fishing, and hunting stuff.

    PM me for details.

    Need some help here.
    Does anyone know where I could buy some aluminum slotted rails?
    Basically I want to make a rack for my trailer that I can run a Tslot channel around the perimeter. I would have to also buy crossbars that I could tie into it.
    Thoughts?

    After a shitty long 6 day work week it’s always nice to see a shipping confirmation in your inbox for long awaited truck parts :bananadance::bananadance::bananadance:

    Picked up a set of TRD PRO wheels today off CL. The seller was actually a member on here and had a beautiful OR built up like a PRO. Looking forward to meeting and seeing more of these awesome little trucks. Picture of said purchase:
