[milemarker60]

Most of the OEM parts were in the 32%-38% off range but the OEM copper crush washers calculated out to 82% off. I thought the TAC discount was just a flat rate but it varied quite a bit part by part. I didn't get anything exciting...washers, o-rings, Toyo Red, seals, filters...baseline stuff plus the torches and a couple of tools. Went in for o-rings and copper cw's and when I saw the discount I just kept asking "how much is this, oh, how about that, hmm, maybe two gallons of this too...". I'm an easy target.

That's a pretty good deal. I wish I would have know that while I had my radiator out the other day. I would have called to see what a replacement runs.

Molle's TAC discount is typically even a little bit better. Price out the next higher priced item you have between them both.

Discount Tire has $100 off $400 tire purchases through their eBay store. I just bought two pairs of tires for the LX450 and got the price down from $1036 to $836. Had to go to their regular online store and pay full price to have a fifth one for a spare. Still netted $189 savings off the set of five and shipping was free as usual.

That looks like a nice cold-weather bag. I really like the US military sleep system. It's a lightweight bag and a medium weight bag. For really cold weather, you slip one inside the other and get even warmer. It also comes with a waterproof bivvy bag and a compression bag. You can get them in nearly new condition for about $100 from online military surplus stores and eBay. You can basically sleep in a drainage ditch and stay warm and dry.

I have heard about these bags, as I am looking for a lightweight bag. Any idea what they are called (military jargon) to search for them?

ECWS modular sleep system. Very nice bags. I really wanted to keep mine as a parting gift but was unsuccessful. $205 on amazon prime, can probably find them a little cheaper somewhere else.
