Cart Review & Inquiry

Thanks.  Yes, Wheelez uses the ones in your first photo.  They are stout enough, but if anything snags those rings they flip up.

Trip to the hardware store tomorrow on my way to NAPA for a new idler pulley (hopefully) , or a new water pump (hope not) for the truck.  It is screeching like a banshee on startup.

Before you plunk down hard earned cash at NAPA for your water pump, check prices at RockAuto.com.  I have purchased water pumps and lots of other parts for two of my trucks over the years and found they have the best price even with shipping costs.  Quick turn around as well. 

came across this cart a few minutes ago...
http://www.c-tug.com/
carried by Johnson - in the UK...

Thought it was a great lightweight setup, that should be inexpensive.. then i found a retailer...
hard (to me) to believe they sell that cart for £99.95 (US$165)

it does, however, give me some ideas on my own possible build...

there are sevral retailers here in our region selling C-Tug. first to come to mind is one of our sponsors, outdoorplay.com, which is represented here by our member, alkaszasi. from dealing with them on numerous purchases, i can tell you that they are super folks to deal with and talk to.

last i saw, ( 3-4 months ago) the general list online was $149.00.  i think r e i and nrs also are retailers.

sure it doesnt have the mondo wide beach wheels that everone is drooling over for their sometimes beach use, but this seems to be a rugged, light and strong cart that will fit easily into a front hatch on a sot.

as someone once said " you pays your money, you takes your chances."

aah, thats what i get for not looking around too much.  a cart isn't on my list til i get the yak

A new meaning to..."The cart before the horse".

Bookmarked.  Thanks!

I can't recommend the Wheeleez beach (not mini) cart enough. You can buy others that are similarly priced but none match those HUGE pillowy tires. Last time I was in OR I had to go over 500 yards of beach and 100 yards of big softball size cobble stones and that cart ruled it all like a monster truck. Almost effortless in soft sand. I'd have been pissed if I had any other cart.

DN funny, I've never had any problems w/ the pins... they seem to gravitate to me. Found another one yesterday.. most likely yours. Really though, I have heard  some problems but not popping off as easily as you said. There was a problem where they went to a cheap plastic for their tires and they kept letting out air. But that was for a short time and now they're back to sturdy PVC.

While I like the looks of that C-Tug I really like what Zee and others have said about the Wheeleez.

We should see about getting this Club Special going
