    Not sure if you guys have heard of Massdrop or not but they're a bit of an unconventional group buy site. It's a ton more organized because they're actually operating it as a business. It sorta works like this:
    1. Community Members (like yourself) want to buy something so they make a poll with competing products
    2. A bunch of people vote
    3. Depending on popularity, Massdrop Staff will pick one and start contacting vendors to do a group buy
    4. A "massdrop" Groupbuy is approved and created, notifications are sent out, and you can start signing up with payment information.
    5. Once the massdrop is closed, your payment is charged.
    6. A few weeks to months pass by and your item shows up.
    So they just opened a new "Outdoors" community and they're asking for folks to vote what they want.

    I think considering how so many shady group buys happen especially in our specific interests, it might be nice to make these a little more official and utilize a corporate entity that we do have recourse against.

    Imagine being able to setup group buys for Chainsaws, Tires, Chains, Superchargers, Coilovers, Long Travel Kits, Bumpers, Armor, Fridges, gas masks, Eccotemp Showers, you name it.

    I've already picked up a good amount of stuff. Audiophile Headphones, Knives, DJI Osmo Gimbal, Flashlight, Fishing pole, and going to be more stuff soon.

    Well, judge for yourself https://www.massdrop.com/r/VSKURB

    Ok, massdrop's Outdoor Community is open. I've added a poll for roof top tents, feel free to add any other models that would interest you.
