Useful Links

Other than the Amazon Affiliates links, none of these links are paid or sponsored in any way. Theses are the sites where I spend my time and money.

If you make a purchase from Amazon via a link on this site, I get paid a small commission by Amazon, but your price doesn’t increase.

Excursion Links

Parts Sources (alpha order)

These are companies from whom I’ve ordered parts & accessories.

  • Amazon these guys have everything – This is not a commission generating link.
  • LMC Truck specializing in parts for American trucks
  • Mouser Electronics for all the little fiddly bits needed for electrical work. ****In May 2020 I recommend you don’t use a mobile browser, unless you know the part number you need. The desktop site has a search engine that makes the site useable. I’ll remove this note if I find that things change. ****
  • OK 4 WD off road & four wheel drive accessories. Also excellent customer service!
  • ProWire USA Another electrical supplier. More focused on automotive uses than Mouser. Another site that isn’t mobile friendly as of May 2020.
  • Rock Auto general auto parts supplier
  • Super Bright LEDs LEDs, controllers, and power supplies. Both 12v and 120v applications.

Manufacturers (alpha order)

  • Blue Sea Systems Electrical components for marine applications.
  • Ram Mounts keep your electronics secure and at hand while driving
  • Rhino-Rack roof racks and accessories. More focused on overlanding, but also tradesman & sports accessories.
  • Wheelskins custom steering wheel covers.

Home Repair Info

  • The Family Handyman Started as a magazine, the website is full of ideas just crazy enough to work.
  • The Natural Handyman A great site when you need to figure out the right way to fix something around the house.
  • Vintage Machinery Because cheap old tools are more capable than affordable new tools. But Marketplace tools never come with documentation.

Liquid Fuel Appliances

  • Old Town Coleman A reference site for liquid fueled Coleman stoves & lanterns. Has detailed disassembly / restoration information.
  • Old Coleman Parts Not affiliated with the manufacturer. A good source for parts.

Other Fun Sites

  • Animated Knots If you’re looking for the perfect knot to solve a specific problem, or you can’t remember how to tie one, this is a great resource.
  • Teardrops n Tiny Trailers Tear drops, Canned Hams, vintage & home made camping trailers. Lots of good information about making your own camping equipment and places to find specialty hardware.
  • Thingverse A repository for 3D models.

Legal jibber-jabber

  • As an Amazon Affiliate, I may earn commission if you purchase something linked from this page.
  • Product reviews – unless stated otherwise, I have purchased all reviewed products with my own money.
  • “Manufacturers claims” are exactly that. Their claims. If my text says “manufacturer claims” it means I haven’t checked it and I probably don’t have a way to check it. Hydrostatic ratings, R-values, Temperature ratings, etc.
