I would stock up on this, $17 is a great price:

Shell Rotella Gas Truck Full Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil for Pickups and SUVs (5-Quart, Single Pack) Amazon product ASIN B07MLXF2CF


Don't forget shell rotella has a rebate offer as well. $10 off a 5 quart, single pack. Limit 4 per household.

Autozone has/had shell rotella on clearance at $2 a quart and/or $10 for a five quart.
 
RockPals has some good discounts on solar panels and batteries. 20% off on their 100W foldable solar panel.
 
Moosejaw, as they have done for the past few years on Cyber Monday, is offering 50% back in Moosejaw dollars (good for a future purchase) on most regularly priced items with code 50back.

Example: they have the Goal Zero Yeti 400 and Boulder 50 Solar panel combo for $725 +$5 for oversized shipping and $362.48 in reward cash for a future purchase (reward dollars hit your account when your item ships).

I've bought a lot of gear on Cyber Monday over the past three years, Arc'Teryx jackets, snowboards, etc., and it has allowed me to purchase a lot of additional holiday gifts with the bonus cash.

If an item is on sale, you only get 12.5% in rewards cash (but can still be a good deal).


Forgot that if you link through activejunky, they are giving 18% back on Moosejaw as well. So in the example above, you would get $130.50 (18%) back from Activejunky in addition to the above deal.

Another option:
Megamat 10:
Sale $149.21
Moosejaw rewards: 18.65
Activejunky cash back: $26.85

Pretty good deals on a lot of stuff!

Thanks! Gonna mess with this since my order was one of the orders that was refunded for the Exped Megamat. Kinda glad it happened as this seems even better!

Anyone know if the Medium one will fit the back of a 200 series behind the front seats?

I have one of the the larger megamats and it crams in, so yes, the medium should fit. I haven't laid on the medium, but the specs seem small, but I roll around in my sleep a bit.

Me too, but being 5'3 and 115 lbs has its perks XD. If only they made another one that is half the size of this, or one L shape one, so that my dog can sleep on one as well! My dog weighs the same as me, and I don't want to go duo in case i want to run a fridge. I think i will give them a call and see what their smallest size is, or if they have anything designed for big dogs. Hopefully they do so i can grab one while they are on sale.

Edit: Called them and found out that the medium one is the smallest/shortest. I think it is about 5-6 inches shorter than the normal. The only mat smaller that they make is a 52 inch SIM mat, but it's not fit for my purpose (cant handle the dog).

I have the duo.....bought it originally for my g/f and myself to sleep in the back of my 100 series.....with drawers in the 3rd row area and the middle row folded, and the front seats moved forward just a tad, it fit on top of the drawers/2nd row like it was made for it. I haven't tried it in the 200 yet, I went to RTT, but I would assume it would be the same. The problem I had with it in the 100 series was that it took up ALL the space in the back. So you had to remove all bags/luggage, etc.....anything at all behind the front seats for it to fit. If you dont have another person with you, the non-duo medium size will probably work much better. If you don't have drawers in the back, it probably won't fit unless you totally remove the 2nd row.

Thanks for this, very insightful. You don't happen to remember how tall your drawers were? I am trying to figure out the height i need to be level with the 2nd row seats folded down.

To those finding the Megamat 10 on backorder at the vendor first posted here...

REI also has them on sale ($142.99)...
...and **IN STOCK** ready to ship.

Exped MegaMat 10 Sleeping Pad | REI Co-op

(Thanks @RET2 for heads up)
 
Moosejaw is a way better deal. 18% back through activejunky and 12.5% back with coupon on homepage (or $20 gc with other promo)

Ya, I was referring to the backcountrygear.com link earlier in the thread where they are on back-order. I hadn’t seen moosejaw...
That is a good deal for sure.

All of these prices are great...compared to the full price I paid for my first one. ;)
 
I guess i won't be the only one spending the next 2 days watching their megamat slowly inflate itself for the first time XD.

Pictures are right after opening and then 5 hours later.

Crap. The Noco products are pretty decent then? I looked at the specials, but didn't pull the trigger. I think I've jumped one vehicle in the last 2 years.

I'm pretty excited about getting mine. I went for the big guy (the GB150) and plan on using it as a battery bank/charger for my labtop and phone as well. The more i look into the reviews and videos on youtube, the more excited and glad i jumped on it. I think next year/next big sale i will get my dad and co-worker one. We also have a few company trucks at work that we have failed to jump on several occasions when the batteries died, well not anymore!



This one guy apparently has ran electric vehicles off of it, in order to get a EV with a dead battery to the shop. Excerpt off a review on amazon:

"This little jump box will run an entire electric car with AC on full blast for several minutes and barely deplete its charge. However doing this multiple times throughout the day will deplete it more quickly. But if all you need to do is jump start, the charge lasts forever. Obviously you can use it in a similar way on a gasoline engine to run the car, when the alternator is bad. "

That part got me really excited.

My pockets are hurting a little bit but i have no regrets.

Not sure if anyone is still keeping an eye, but i notice some sites extend Cyber Monday deals into Cyber Week.

I have been thinking about what kind of laptop i want to get for my travels, and with Dell Outlet having a decent sale, i was considering picking up a Rugged Series labtop this week. There is a coupon for 25% off the refurb price (good for this week), which is already a decent amount off a new one (around 50% off new before coupon).

These things come with the same warranty as a new one. The rugged series come with a 3 year warranty instead of 1, and accidental damage coverage is $100 bucks for 3 years (probably don't need for this but depends on how hard i wheel... maybe i do need it).


The one i am looking at is a current model that retails for $3092, $1793 refurb price, and price after 25% coupon is $1322. I also have about 100 bucks in dell rewards cash that expires in 10 days so it would be about $1200 for the same one that is about $3100 new. I have bought several certified refurbs and 2 scratch and dent models from them, and honestly could not find any scratch and dents, only blemishes. The certified refurb ones looked new when it got to me.

To me getting a current model refurb for about 40-60% off is definitely the way to go, and from my experience with dell outlet, this is about as good as sales will get.

If you are looking for a laptop that will survive the trails like me, then make sure you also narrow down to more recent models, so that you are not comparing the sale versus outdated MSRP estimates. That is how you will find the best deals.

You can call in for an extra 2% off, so that's 27% off the rugged series in addition to refurbish discount. Other models have different sales %.

I hope this makes sense, and that i don't need to check myself into rehab for Black Friday Shopping Addiction.

Not to be a negative nancy, but you can get the non-ruggedized version of that E7420 for like $400 and break 4 of them and come out even.

Nevertheless, great laptops.

Agreed. If you ever want a laptop (or many other things) I recommend looking at slickdeals.net, a "deal aggregation" forum. Great way to find too many things to empty your wallet.
