Tossing up between one of these or a shovel and shovel holder (Roof rack or spare wheel) and weighing up the pro's and cons.

4x4Equip Pro's

  • Easy to stow
  • Can leave it in the vehicle/camper and would always be ready to go
  • Handle options
Cons

  • Takes up storage space
  • Could get a bit messy storing it after use in mud
  • Requires assembly each time.

Standard shovel and mount Pro's

  • Doesnt take existing storage space
  • Easier to store muddy
  • Could use existing shovel
Con's

  • Would have to pack it before each trip (or leave it attached and have it weather
  • Roof rack mount would add some wind resistance
  • Need rear mounted spare or roof racks

Obviously different pro's/con's would be more or less relevant depending on the personal situation but am I missing anything major?

I still haven't had a price given to me as yet.
I did get an email letting me know I should have an answer Monday though.
I'm guessing it will be cheap though as my rep is seeing what the best deal he can do is :)

Thanks Nick - see if you can give him a tickle about the other prices mentioned in the posts above...  ($80   or    ...$50-LOL; I know what the answer will be to that one already..)...  ???

be aware that if you mount the shovel on your roof rack it will rust when it rains, it then drips that rust stain on your vehicle. I have my shovel mounted this way, and have gotten Ssrah to make me a cover for my shovel to help prevent this from occurring, but it won't completely stop it from happening

Pricing is in (I missed it yesterday.. Suffering from OVD).

Pickup is free from Regional Campers in Albury, or from me at Langwarrin, Blackburn or Knockwood.

Prices:
Premium... Which is on sale through 4x4equip for $99.95 normal retail of $129.95
Our Price = $85  8)

Standard which is still a good shovel. Has retail of $99.95
Our Price = $65  8)

If we can get 50 orders it goes down again ;D

So the way it will work is PM Nick (Evolution) for Bank info.. Once they are all paid for Nick will order stock.
This way he isn't stuck with 10-20 shovels and $1000+ out of his rocket.

When I pickup my work of art from Nick, I'll pickup the ones for Melbourne and arrange delivery to everyone (Inc Knockwood).

Anyone who cannot pickup, can work out Swagmail - or pay shipping, so think about it first.

Was this mounted like this long term or even after a short time? my trips in the foreseeable future will be a few weeks at most and would store it away between times.
