One minor question on your mesh compartments. Is that an elastic band on the top of the mesh? If it is, it might be better to go with a drawstring / toggle combination, since elastic might degrade fairly quickly in sunlight.

Herb, the problem with making tire covers is that i'll have to carry like 5 different sizes and produce hundreds of each one. This bag is one size fits all. Not to mention i have to pay for these out of pocket each time so thats an added expense. Maybe Trasharoo3.0 yes lol

You beat me to it, in testing we've already concluded that the mesh section is getting a drawstring. It's replacing the elastic section. That way items won't fly out. Funny, you mentioned that.

Herb, I recommend you check out Strapworks.com, no affiliation but I bought a bunch of straps and clips and altered my trasharoo to be tight to the wheel when empty (approximatly half my driving time

). You should be able to manufacture you're own Bronco-to-SMB spare swap kit with some stuff from there (or any buckle/strap provider).

Or... you could just buy a SECOND TRASHAROO!

hhhmmm..... what is the difference between generation 1 and generation 2 ?

adventureduo · 02-02-2010, 08:20 PM

Go to page 2. of this thread. I posted pics and some details.

Thanks..... so gen1 is black .... what is the additional horizontal strap?

adventureduo · 02-02-2010, 08:57 PM

Yes, Gen1 is only available in black. I made these out my own pocket so having different colors and producing them would of cost me too much. Now we are trying to expand and make more of these so we are going to produce Black, OD green and Desert Tan.

The additional cross strap is on the back of the bag. The Gen1 has 1 horizontal main strap that goes across the top to distribute the load for the "X" straps. At the bottom its stitched into the bag floor.

On the Gen2, we did a second horizontal strap for added strength. Not because we had problems, but i wanted to improve the bag anywhere and everywhere i could. It probably wasn't needed, but i like to overkill stuff if i can.

Here's a photo of the new Gen2..

Also, we are going to do Molle Straps and adding drawstrings to the mesh pockets.

Quick update:

We are looking to have the second gen bags done by the end of April now. We've made changes and with any product you want to make sure it's right.

We have changed the screen printed logo for a raised rubber version. Higher quality.

Here's a sneak peak of the OD Green bag with molle bag strap system.

You can follow live updates on our Facebook page.. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Trasharoo/170986867266

Also, we have a few Gen1 bags left at the blow out price of $34.99. (as do our dealers)

Thanks for all the support and patience everyone.
