@@sethstephens4855 that’s a really good idea actually. I think I might do two amazon ones then. The one I’ve been thinking about doing is talking about all the gear I have right now that’s on amazon but that goes for a ton of stuff.
@@davidoutside we have one near us and randomly noticed they had all kinds of random stuff mostly camping related. Not really offroad at all. I got a kershaw knife there and they have a little camping section with all kinds of stuff.
Had the maxitrac awning for about 5 months now after my arb was destroyed by the wind. Let me tell ya, it’s the same material and build for 1/4 price. Love the maxitrac awning 👍
This is the kind of stuff I love to hear. I’m about 90% sure I’m about to buy one of these. I have an Amazon one right now and it’s really not great. These are even cheaper and so highly rated by everyone I talk to.
@@OXFOOT I have one on my 3rd gen. Was at the river packing up before a big storm. Took the guidelines out, and was about to put the awning away, when a huge wind gust came in and flipped the awning over, on top of my truck, and it took all my strength to get it back down, fighting the wind. Got it packed up quickly in the rain, and drove home 2 hours. When I got home the slotted aluminum that attaches to the L bracket was bent and the L brackets were bent into a V shape. Bent it all back to its original shape with a hammer and a flat head screwdriver. Good as new. For 100 bucks it's a no brainer, at least to get you by until you find something better.
I think I’m going to get one myself now. Heard they were sold out but there were still some in stores in some towns. I’ll have to test one out for sure.
Be really interesting to see how the NAPA stuff holds up over time. You should do a follow up on the NAPA stuff in a year just to see how it's held up.
Yeah I’d be interested as well. So far the trash caddy feels better than the big name brand one but they don’t really take a lot of abuse. The awning will be the big one to see over time.
Your video was a good score from the RUclips recommendations. Finding out about the $100.00 awning was definitely worth the watch. Especially since I have been thinking about an awning.
It’s so much nicer than my $160 awning. Apparently they are back ordered like crazy right now. I thought about buying one but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Some people outside of my state have been able to though.
The awning is back in stock at my local NAPA. Came with a $20 price increase but still worth the money. Just purchased it along with the trash caddy. Thank you for the recommendation!
That’s awesome! I wish they would restock the compressor, people hit me up weekly about that thing lol. But the awning is a great buy. My trash caddie is holding up great too.
I have the awning, caddy bag, power inverter, and twin compressor. I've been happy with all of them so far. The compressor is exceptionally great. It's a BEAST.
Damn you got basically all the top things on this list. I really need to try that compressor out. I think it’ll fit in my current compressors place in my engine bay.
@@InocenteSandoval I’m actually about to head out after work to pick it up. I’m pretty sure I’ll have to remove that handle but other than that I think it’ll fit. worst case if it doesn’t I can just make a video on it and sell it. Nbd. Thanks for the help though.
Yeah I didn’t shop at NAPA much until this video. Now I’ve got my trash caddy and the compressor I’ve been happy with. Might start going there more often.
We've had Maxi Trac gear in Australia for years now and their gear has usually performed well. For budget gear it all holds up pretty well! I've used and owned a few of their products and I've always been happy. They even do budget suspension and lift kits which have a decent lifespan & better than stock ride.
Yeah I thought I had seen some stuff about it on some Australian offroad channels before. In my research it looks like NAPA (not sure if y’all have that) either bought them or at least licensed them out over here in the states. Not exactly sure how it worked. In preparation for this video I watched a lot of aussies talk about some of the stuff but I don’t know that everything we get is exactly the same or if the products I watched were old discontinued stuff. It seems like there is more stuff that we aren’t getting in the US.
That’s wild that they do lift kits though. Maybe one day we will see that in the states, but we have very different vehicles from you guys. The Isuzus and the diesel Land cruisers I’m super jealous of.
Some of the gear seems to be the same, stuff like the awning and recover gear. For memory the Maxi Trac lift kits are sold at Repco (our version of your O'Reilly), and yeah for budget suspension they're probably one of the better brands. I had a set in one of my hilux's for about 3-4 years and never had a drama
Mate Landcruisers, Hilux's and the Isuzu's are pretty much the way of life down here. There are plenty of other 4wd's but I'd say these are the benchmark standard when it come to our 4wd's, they're just robust and reliable! Don't worry though the envy goes both ways, I've found myself looking at your Tundra's, Taco's and Ram's more than once 😉👌
@@jamesscherer6168 Yeah we americans love our full size trucks. The Ram and the Tundra are cool but damn if they are tight fits going down trails. Paint scrape is bad enough on my 4Runner but I see ford raptors on trails all the time and I'm sure their clear coat is non existent.
Hey Oxfoot, Nice video, thanks for asking for my opinion on the compressor. I recently built a 4-way tire inflator and the compressor filled the tires even faster than before (because I didn't need to shutoff the compressor for each individual tire to read the gauge). Let me know if you ever want to do a video together in the future. Thanks, Overland Adventures Offroad
That’s awesome, I have a 4 tire inflate thing I got last year and I love it. I’ll hit you up because I honestly need to figure out if those claims they are making are accurate.
RUclips is a weird place. Some times people can have a ton of subs and I don’t get it and sometimes I see low subs and great content. Thanks for that compliment for sure.
RE: the air compressor, I called a NAPA associate and he said they're actually bringing back the air compressor. Supposed to be available again starting Aug 31, 2023 and priced at $154.
Yeah there isn’t a ton of stuff but they actually have a surprising amount of stuff there. The store near me carries spider Co knives. Idk that Duluth’s stuff is really budget though.
Love your videos! I just realized today though that you always end your sentences on an upspeak type note and after I realized I couldn’t stop hearing it lol. I have no idea if this is positive or negative!
Yeah it’s something I notice while editing. I don’t do it in real life much but I think when I’m trying to describe something in a way that I don’t get blasted online for being wrong I tend to say things in a way that almost sounds like a question. I notice it too. Over time I think I’ll get better at it. Doesn’t help that the voice overs are chopped so sometimes they don’t sound like normal sentences.
@@OXFOOT I totally feel you. The only thing that was gonna stop me from bringing it up was the fact that you’re gonna keep making content and grow the channel and I’m sure it just going to get better in a lot of ways. I hope I didn’t come off like an ass at all dude!
@@davidoutside nah it’s cool. It’s something I’m working on for sure. Shooting some camping videos coming up and it’s a lot more relaxed and I can talk normal without the inflection. The camera is starting to become less and less weird to me as time goes on. Thanks.
I'm digging this budget overland series. That air compressor has "too good to be true" vibes (I'm off to watch OAO's review) [Edit: ok, maybe it's legit haha]
Thanks! I have a few more of the series on the way. The air compressor is pretty unbelievable. I’ll have to test it against the air Twin and mine and see what’s going on.
I work at napa, bought one of those compressors. Been using it a couple months to air up my 33s on trails, it's pretty much all its cracked up to be. I'm allowing a minute between each tire for it to cool down, but other than that no special treatment for the thing. It's a lot faster per tire than my buddies ARB twin. Only complaint is that the pressure gauge on the included hose isnt accurate, but I have a psi stick gauge for that so its nbd for the price.
GET THE COMPRESSOR. I got it,,super happy, similar build to the smittybilt (similar china factory). Speed wise, it is the same/a bit faster than ARB dual compressor. So at $102 (current price), it is my recommendation for best bang for buck by far
I just got it and installed it in the engine bay. Going to test it head to head against the ARB twin this weekend. I’m pumped because this thing is super fast and I actually believe it could be faster than the twin.
I bought the compressor and it’s been impressive. Unfortunately I think everyone has caught on to maxi trac products, I’ve been trying to buy the awning for a couple months now and it’s not been available.
Yeah it seems like the crowds have caught in to the maxitrac brand at this point. I should have bought that awning when I first heard about it, can’t get it now.
@@OXFOOT I’m pretty sure I’m going to do the pressure switch mod to it and also put on a different air chuck. The in-line air gauge seems to be pretty useless but over all, it’s great for the money!
@@OXFOOT hey man, this is “79chevy350”. Just logged into the wrong account. But ya we put the pods in the factory bumper on a ram3500 and the light bar above the cab on a Chevy 3500. They both work great, I wired them with a relay and I think we have under 300 bucks into them (we have a N.A.P.A. account) but I was thinking about putting some on my tremor rear for light when I’m cooking off the tailgate.
The pricing is interesting. Some are bottom of the category with category leading performance and others are priced at high end with middle to lower category performance 🤔
Yeah I don’t know what’s going on over there. Seems like they just acquired some new brands and weren’t ready for their stuff to take off so strong and didn’t realize other things weren’t going to take off.
I got one of the Maxitrax awnings recently and I am looking forward to trying it out. I am trying out the Hella Valuefit northern lights set as well and wonder how they compare to the maxitrack crawling lights. both are multicolored but the Hella Valuefit comes in at much better pricing.
I’d say just stick with the other lights unless they were more expensive. I mentioned them in the video but I still think there’s a lot of other products out there that will do the job just fine.
Yeah I bought the compressor a few days ago and I was a little shocked that it had no warranty. Guess I’ll find out. I’ll keep my smittybilt compressor just in case this one goes down. Maybe I’ll just go full ARB twin by then.
@@OXFOOT I think it would be interesting to all 3 compared. show like a split screen comparison of all 3 from say like 5psi up to 40psi or so. That way people can really see the inflation speed.
I doubt they’ll pay attention to this video. I reached out to napa 3 times in different places to see if they’d be willing to work with me on the video and they left me on read all three times. But yeah I think I’m about to go buy the compressor if I find that I can fit it in my current set up replacing my smittybilt.
See that’s crazy. I think I believe their stats. 37s in a minute and a half. I need to go measure my onboard air mount and make sure this thing can fit.
So many people have mentioned this. I was told that I should at least check it out for clothes if nothing else. I’ll check out the whole store and see what I can find!
@@OXFOOT could also do a military surplus store too just as some ideas. I know not all of those have the same things, but plenty of good overland options if one is creative. I live off base & 1/3 of my overland gear is made up of gear I have from when I got out/around the house, 1/3 from Walmart, & last 1/3 from sports academy/Amazon. Think one of the things strongly over looked is community selling apps/pages like FB marketplace, offer up, & Craigslist.
@@joshc214 military surplus would be really good. Used to have one near me when I lived back in North Carolina. I used to use them on occasion. I’ll have to see if there is one near me here in CO. Thanks.
@@OXFOOT I just found out now that you have worked with us for car headlights. Our brand is Boslla. I wonder if you are interested in Boslla's 7inch light bars? It can be installed on your jeep, which is very convenient for your travel.
So it’s weird, some people can still order them but some people can’t. I can’t seem to pull it up but other people i know in different states have been able to. I wonder what is going on. Maybe supply chain issues?
Damn, I’m going to see if I can’t find out what’s going on. Apparently some stores have them but I’m only going off of someone in NV and someone in MN.
But where is this stuff made? I realize it's hard to find anything made in the US or Canada or other decent places these days but exploring the wilds of North America with bootleg equipment made in who knows where and sold by a massive corporation leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I really would rather save up for the more expensive local made stuff, even if it's not actually better. Edit: Apparently Maxi Trac is owned by BALKAMP which is an actual subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company, NAPA's parent, and is indeed an American company. I was suspicious because most of the all-caps random company names on Amazon are actually Chinese trademark pasta.
I think that the brand is owned by their parent company but I’m pretty sure it’s still made in China. My understanding is that it was a Chinese company that was sold in Australia but then NAPA bought it.
I would much rather have American made stuff than anywhere else but most of these budget retail locations don’t really do that. I totally agree with what you’re saying though.
This proves that you don't need expensive name brand stuff to go overlanding. You just pay for the name on those expensive brands which are mostly made in China.
I think you hit the nail on the head for this series I’ve been doing. Nothing wrong with spending money if you want, but you don’t necessarily need to.
You know I can’t retroactively change the video just because the price went up in a year and a half with all the inflation happening right? This video is from 2021.
Let me know what store you want me to do next! It’s between amazon, Duluth, and sportsman’s wearhouse… open to suggestions!
If you do an Amazon video it should just be of the Amazon basics branded items. Might be fun. Since pretty much everything is on Amazon lol
@@sethstephens4855 that’s a really good idea actually. I think I might do two amazon ones then. The one I’ve been thinking about doing is talking about all the gear I have right now that’s on amazon but that goes for a ton of stuff.
Does Duluth even have gear gear? I thought it was only clothing. There’s one by my warehouse I’ve never been to, I vote Duluth!
@@davidoutside we have one near us and randomly noticed they had all kinds of random stuff mostly camping related. Not really offroad at all. I got a kershaw knife there and they have a little camping section with all kinds of stuff.
I’d be interested in a beginner video on a budget. Something like here are the things you need in your kit and here are the best budget options.

So bummed that they discontinued the air compressor. You can still get the same model from alibaba but you have to buy it in bulk.
Hmmm…. Business idea…?
Got a link? Lol

+1 for Amazon next!
I’m into it. Starting filming tomorrow.
Inflation is insane, in 4 months everything has gone up in price!

See that’s crazy. I think I believe their stats. 37s in a minute and a half. I need to go measure my onboard air mount and make sure this thing can fit.
Most stores are sold out of the equipment.
Damn that’s rough. I just picked up the compressor today and it was the last one. It must be a super popular line.
@@OXFOOT It absolutely must be. I was lucky and able to pick up a compressor too.
Academy Sports if you have one.
So many people have mentioned this. I was told that I should at least check it out for clothes if nothing else. I’ll check out the whole store and see what I can find!
Oh wait, I’m confusing that with sportsman’s warehouse. I’ll see if I have academy sports anywhere around here.
@@OXFOOT could also do a military surplus store too just as some ideas. I know not all of those have the same things, but plenty of good overland options if one is creative. I live off base & 1/3 of my overland gear is made up of gear I have from when I got out/around the house, 1/3 from Walmart, & last 1/3 from sports academy/Amazon. Think one of the things strongly over looked is community selling apps/pages like FB marketplace, offer up, & Craigslist.
@@joshc214 military surplus would be really good. Used to have one near me when I lived back in North Carolina. I used to use them on occasion. I’ll have to see if there is one near me here in CO. Thanks.
I really like the video you shot! I want to work with you on led car headlight bulbs, are you interested?
I might be, can you shoot me a message on Instagram @oxfoot ?
@@OXFOOT I just found out now that you have worked with us for car headlights. Our brand is Boslla. I wonder if you are interested in Boslla's 7inch light bars? It can be installed on your jeep, which is very convenient for your travel.
Right now isn’t the best time for me, have a lot of stuff going on but in a few months I can reach back out about the opportunity. Thanks.
Okay, looking forward to our future cooperation.
How about tractor supply also
I’ve got a tractor supply one!
@@OXFOOT 👍
Looks like NAPA discontinued the awning!!! noooooooo!
So it’s weird, some people can still order them but some people can’t. I can’t seem to pull it up but other people i know in different states have been able to. I wonder what is going on. Maybe supply chain issues?
@@OXFOOT Hopefully not discontinued.. i’m in texas and can’t order to home or pick up. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Damn, I’m going to see if I can’t find out what’s going on. Apparently some stores have them but I’m only going off of someone in NV and someone in MN.
Budget gear for not so budget rig?
I mean I buy cheap things I use a lot and expensive things I can resell for what I paid for it.
But where is this stuff made? I realize it's hard to find anything made in the US or Canada or other decent places these days but exploring the wilds of North America with bootleg equipment made in who knows where and sold by a massive corporation leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I really would rather save up for the more expensive local made stuff, even if it's not actually better.
Edit: Apparently Maxi Trac is owned by BALKAMP which is an actual subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company, NAPA's parent, and is indeed an American company. I was suspicious because most of the all-caps random company names on Amazon are actually Chinese trademark pasta.
I think that the brand is owned by their parent company but I’m pretty sure it’s still made in China. My understanding is that it was a Chinese company that was sold in Australia but then NAPA bought it.
I would much rather have American made stuff than anywhere else but most of these budget retail locations don’t really do that. I totally agree with what you’re saying though.
I have a weird Loyalty to NAPA😂
Haha
This proves that you don't need expensive name brand stuff to go overlanding. You just pay for the name on those expensive brands which are mostly made in China.
I think you hit the nail on the head for this series I’ve been doing. Nothing wrong with spending money if you want, but you don’t necessarily need to.
MaxiTrac awning and compressor are out of stock and they don’t know when they’re coming back😡😡😡😡😡😡
Yeah I don’t know what’s going on over there. They made some great products and then just stopped making them all together it seems.
You U Tube people need to stop saying $100.00. That was a sale price! I just recently purchased the maxi track and it is $148.00!
You know I can’t retroactively change the video just because the price went up in a year and a half with all the inflation happening right? This video is from 2021.
Sorry if that comes across rude but like I can’t change the price in my video 1.5 years later. Yah know?
The hand jestures....what a strange time we live in
I’ll just stand still perfectly still on camera so the boomers don’t get mad from now on?
