I have used it multiple times to change tires on the trail and it is safer, faster and easier to use.
I have also been trained not to use a hi-lift to change tires, so I guess we'll have a topic for fireside conversation at the Swell. :cool:

agreed, I used the bottle jack as the Hi Lift was very swayey (not a word) and made me uncomfortable. I now use the ARB Jack and as many know, I do tend to go through tires :) Maybe I still use the bottle jack sometimes depending on the situation, but also use the ARB depending on the situation. Not as safe as the Bottle jack, but more stable to the vehicle in my opinion than the Hi-lift

Looking forward to those discussions

So back to the discussion topic. How about a Dual Zone Fridge

Another option might be a PullPal. I dont see, or hear of many people owning them. They kinda one of those 'I'd love to own one but dont have the funds for that kind of item'...Making it a great gift/raffle item.
@RayRay27 I just texted you details on the Pull Pal deal. https://www.pullpal.com/pull-pal.html
As a bonus I just had a delightful call getting to know Jan Gremillon.

I want some stock height dobinson progressive springs. Tired of a saggy rig. I can't even get my foot between the tire and arch to access my roof rack.

What I've gathered from this conversation is that "a bandz" doesn't quite cover the cost of any single piece of "overlanding" gear. 🤑
Pays for 2 - 3 pull pals ;-)

Fridge is always good but maybe everyone has one now already.

Gift card to a large supplier/sponsor like Slee/Equipt/Cruiser Outfitters would mean the winner could get what they don’t have.

270° awning would be about a Bandz

quality solar set up, charge controller and folding panel.

Set of Baja Designs LP series lights. Maybe they cut a deal to CM as a prize on 9’s

How about a camp site setup; Frontrunner chairs, table, nice stove, propane firepit. Shower setup and maybe a Pett Toilet

I like the high end lights and pul-pal ideas best, something to behold and something we could all use or know someone needs.

The just for me answer would be Low and Lower T-case gears from cruiser outfitters for the 100 series... but probably not as universally desired :)

Happy to reach my contacts at Baja Designs. I'm sure they will discount or donate.

Partner Steel stoves are also a solid item. You could get 2 with a Bandz.
