A little extra cash, what would you buy?
« on: February 23, 2010, 01:48:26 PM »
So I have a little extra cash burning a hole in my pocket.  What would you suggest I buy first?
Onboard air system, GPS, or CB.

What would you use more?  What would make your life more easy?  Do you need OBA or would a smaller portable viar pump or something like it work?  What kind of GPS do you want?  One to carry around if you go hiking?  One strictly for vehicle?  Do you want a cheap CB or go all out trucker style?  Depending on what you choose you could probably buy a couple items.
This is not 'Nam, this is wheeling.  There are rules.

CB is first.  Then if you have lots of cash get a winch.

Scratch tickets  ;D
Hookers and Blow...will these things help on the trail :o  I haven't seen any tech articles on this

I was thinking of the Viair compressor (like the one in JP mag this month) not really a full on under the hood set-up.  I would be using the GPS strictly in the jeep and a larger screen would be great since the eyes aren't so good.  Has anyone been to either of the GPS shops here in Calgary?  And I don't know anything about CB's other than it seems to be helpful during a large group trail ride.  Since I want to be out all the time maybe the CB is the way to go.  Again this would only be used on the trail in the jeep.  Any suggestions?
The winch should be here next week.  Anyone want to get stuck?  ;)
Thanks for the help

It is worth getting a CB just so that you can listen to (and participate in) this particular part of the CJA.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

as does costco..

Maptown downtown sometimes has decent deals on GPS's, but ebay probably blows everyone away as far as price.
