We have a cheapy from super cheap auto.. think it was around $35?
We have one on the Jayco and our friends that we travel also have one on their Jayco AND Landcruiser.
The good:
Cheap
look ok
The Bad:
They do tend to fade after a long time in the sun (ours have not but I have seen a few faded ones around)
The zips on the bottom are crap
I actually had mine come off the spare wheel (I swear someone snuck up and undid it.. cant have been me forgetting anything) and dragged it for a couple of kms.. has a few scuffs in it but otherwise all good!! We dont use the zip on the bottom, only the flap at the top (we just put a bin liner in there and lift it out when full)
hope that helps, obviously you can spend a bit on these bags but we opted to get the cheap ones and replace them down the track when they die..

I have an MSA and Im ****ed if I can figure out how to fit it
-
Picked up this Bushranger for 80 bucks at the last 4by show...apart from being a dust collector ;D, it was great for damp, dirty ground sheets, rubbish, etc. :cup:

MSA for me, has worked great for the past 4 years

Mate gave me one that he had as a spare, he got it as a freebie when he subscribed to a certain 4wd mag. Used the bag on a recent 4wd weekend. Bag lasted one day before the straps broke off and the bag was swinging off the spare. The idea of the bag worked well but just not a freebie. Will be looking for a more reliable one.
-
Have two bushranger's one for the 4by and one for the camper, great investment's. i have seen better designs for more $ but depends on the budget
-
x2 for the Bushranger 'Wheeliebin'
Pros - very good construction
cons - It's a prick to get over the rear tyre. In saying this, it's not a fault of the bin but the spare tyre has no gap between the tyre and the rear door. (prado 150 with tyre cover removed, 265x70's)
I still take it and find somewhere to put it on the CT. Very handy to keep the stink of old rubbish out of the car. Also keep larger camp visitors out (roos, cats, etc).
-
I now have the MSA one with the side pockets, it's great for all sorts of gear. It's lasted a couple of years so far without so much as a stray thread.
I had one of those magazine ones and a roof top bag, neither lasted one trip without falling apart........
-
I bought one off fleabay which was great and it was a private seller. I have to rummage through the camping gear to find the name for you. However anything larger than a 265x16, you might have troubles fitting.

Bushranger as well had no probs :cheers:
-
I have one made by all-terain campers for the NSW 4wd Acc which fits a 285 tyre made from the same stuff as camper trailer dust cover, great for wet canvas, rubbish, or even kids toys for when you pull up for lunch,eg frisbee, grip ball,those throwing things (vortex)
-
I was giving BCF gif cards once. So I bought a bag from there. Seems to do the job nicely

-
I use that one ^^^^^^^
Have had it for awhile and can't fault it, good construction and good price and you can just give it a hose out to clean it
-
I also have a Supercheap one. The clip was cracked from new. I thought about taking it back but was in a hurry to get away on the trip I bought it for, so I taped it up and it seems to be ok. Certainly was a dust magnet in the Wonangatta. :-\
-
mine comes from that cetain mag store
other than it never sits on the tyre correctly and is always sagging down and getting in the way of hook up etc ( this may be to me fitting it incorrectly??), i love it, it acts as my campsite rubbish bin and when it gives up the ghost, i'll spend some $$ and get a better quality one
-
We have the one from Super Cheap. Fits over the spare on the tailgate of the CT. The clip on the first one I bought would do up put popped open when you put a bit of tension on the strap. An obvious design fault with the clip. Took it back and replaced it. The replacement's clip was a totally different design. Have used it twice without any dramas.

Yea, that's mine as well. What I did call ours - Bushman, old age I think ;D
-
Bushranger as well... good bag, just found i need an ocky strap on the bottom to be sure it didnt come off.
-
Bushranger for us.
Very handy when you have a little one in nappies.
-
Supercheap one for us, cost $35.00 and works well, junk the adjustable strap and use occy straps. :cup:

We had an MSA bag, straps broke and dumped 4 sets of muddy blundstones over 100k's of the Earnest Giles Rd >:(. Lucky my mate was following behind picking them up. :cup:

We have the same. Has got a good workout over the last 4 weeks. Seems to be holding up well.

I use the original Australian made Southern Cross Canvas bag that the other brands get cheap copies made of in China, and stick their badge on it. :cheers:

Yes thats it im just waiting for callback to confirm brand.
-
I wanted one bigger than most of the regular ones. So we made our own. Its about double the size of most bags

Love your axe holder! Where did you get it?
-
we had one of those Ridge Ryder bags and on the first trip the zipper on the arse busted open and dumped all of our rubbish on the QAA Line. For the blacktop thet would be OK but off road with corrugations and washouts etc they are no good IMO.
-
We have a rydge rider from SCA, under $40. Couldn't justify spending more for something to put rubbish in
-
Got 2 x Bushranger's good quality but a pain in the butt to fit.
Had em bout 3 years now and just hose em out after each trip, and hang up ready for next time, still use a bin liner in em though.
:cheers:

Cheap Ridge Ryder.
About 3 years now, and has given no problems.
-
Still got my bushranger after many many trips, and as good as the day I got it :cheers:
-
Another super cheap ridge Ryder. Fits over a 285/75/16 muddie and still works after hauling my rubbish all over cape York. When on sale for $20 you can't go wrong. Bottom zip was a little stiff from red dust but hose and spray of lanox fixed that.
-
Would like to see a MYSWAG version :cup: :cup: :cup:
-
Super Cheap Ridge Ryder just used it for the French and QAA line used a cable tie to ensue the bottom zips didn't open. Worked well won't spend more
-
Worked well won't spend more
This is probably the right ideal.
Its a garbage bag/firewood bag/muddy stuff bag.
I wouldnt spend too much either
-
I bought one of the super cheap ones. Wont fit the car 315/75/16! Fits on the camper but obscures the number plate which is mounted on the spare tyre :-[ so it can onlu be used when stationary. Well planned purchase that one.
-
I think ours is MSA too. I can't figure out how to fit it either(that's hubby's domain), but it's put up with a hell of a beating and still hangs on ;D
Haven't looked at any others so I can't comment on how it compares.
That photo makes it look really tiny but it does hold quite a bit when full.
-
I updated to an MSA bag as the Ridge Ryder was too low and setting off the rear sensors. What a PTIA to fit, must be designed for a Nissan. Overall it is good quality but the zips are hard enough to close new let alone when they get dust and crap on them.
-
I know they are an essential bit of gear these days, way better than leaving the rubbish behind,
but they look so ugly on the back of ppls rigs..
look for one that will blend into your back tyre and has strong straps, good stitching, and good thick material.
Carry on...
