Re: Cool free parts catalog

i have a post on these boards somewhere that points this out as well.

i have a west marine locally and i can confirm that they match with online retailers...

i purchased an item from west marine that they matched prices to defender....i saved almost $40

since then ive purchased a number of electrical items from them like fuses, fuse blocks, distribution blocks and even got a great deal on 2/0 cable

Cool free parts catalog

Thanks for the link. I can see where the catalog is going to be very helpful in figuring out how to phrase my web searches.

Do you have a front mounted reciever hitch on your SMB? Reading lights would be nice for those night missions.

The Bumper Dumper is a little more upscale and would fit into the SMB family of toys better. Oh Wait......you're moving down into the ranks of us Dirtbaggers now, maybe the Bumper Dumper is a little to classy.

Gnarvan always thinking...

Front.mounted now there's an idea...
HID reading lights although your van would catch the paper roll on fire and melt the seat...
So is the next topic "What did you do to your dirtbagger van today?"
And do the stickers say Dirtbag Mobile or Dirt Bag Mobile or just DBM or would it van at the end DBV?
