I guess I shouldn't be as flippant in titles; the wife is leaving me-but just to go back to the PRC for more field work for a bit. Her packing and my time off around Xmas facilitated going through boxes that have been in storage since our last move, before going overseas, and otherwise hiding out in the garage going through spares bins and such. Thus I offer to the community the following.

Sitting in my garage waiting for Pedro but figured it worth listing broadly in case someone needs them. I have realized I do not. Good condition but dirty, as the pictures illustrate. Will keep up for sale till the time comes for them to get painted and thrown on a trail rig whose heart transplant is pending.
Proud Rhino 2.5” lift rods (LR 3, LR 4, 06-09 RRS) ($75 shipped)
http://www.lucky8llc.com/products/proud-rhino-lr3-2-5-lift-kit
Sat on my LR3 for about a year, realized they were still there the other day when I found the stock rods in a bin. Since I’m on coils it really doesn’t matter to me but this will allow for day to day driving at a higher suspension height without it ‘boinging’ at you about slowing down/lowering out of off road. Anodized aluminum with rubber grommets, minor wear but since they sit static once on the truck they are fully functional.
Discovery 4 (w/’3’ included) rear tailgate badge in black ($15 shipped)
My truck is already re-badged to what she should have been, i.e. a Discovery. No idea why I have this extra, for a 4. I also found a spare ‘3’ if someone wants to go that way-that one will need fresh double sided trim tape.
Superwinch aluminum hawse, winch hook ($25 shipped)
A nice hawse but in excess of needs since I’m supporting SDO and my drinking habit with his.
Mobitronic M50K-12 low voltage cut out battery protector (dometic, engel fridge plug?) ($20 shipped)
https://www.dometicrvcentre.com.au/onlinestore1/electrical/protect-mobitronic-m50k-12
Grabbed this at some point in Abu Dhabi for my fridge but never installed, went a different route for voltage protection. Good for someone who wants to make a custom setup without chopping up stock cords for any 12v accessory that you want to ensure some protection from drawing down the battery.
Coleman racing 1 ¼” aluminum accessory mounts ($10 shipped)
http://www.colemanracing.com/Accessory-Mount-P4353.aspx
No idea why, where, how. Think I got them for doing something on my SD rack(s) but ultimately they are in excess of needs. Uses ¼’ hardware in the hole to mount small items to appropriately sized tubing and such.
Old Man Emu 776 springs (Extra HD, front for 110’s; 1.25” lift, NIB) ($100 pickup or RURR, shipping at buyer expense)
http://www.roversnorth.com/ProductDesc.aspx?code=OME766
Left overs from playing around with the D1 suspension. Good for someone running a diesel D w/a winch and such that doesn’t want to go to high.
Night Desert Parka (Medium/Regular) ($20 shipped)
Purchased as a pair once upon a time when I had to make a ghillie suit; does an excellent job of making a ¾ suit for those times when you have to have concealment but don’t want to have to haul the g-damn pants around. With enough time, effort, nasty burlap, and shoe goo you too can look like the pictures-which date me considerably given the M40A1s, M16A2s, etc. Otherwise it is a good piece of Gulf War era militaria that makes an excellent smoking jacket and such at rallies.
Coyote Brown fleece (Medium/Regular) ($20 shipped)
I was handed this sometime in 07 or 08 while putting in a program with the Iraqi Police that had me coming/going from the US and into Ramadi and other shitholes throughout the winter. Worn under a MARPAT gortex mostly for helo rides or really cold desert nights, and then retired to the back of the closet. A keen eye will note the Velcro, acknowledge that I’m not in the Army, and see why someone else is welcome to this nice piece of kit that I didn’t even realize I still had.
LL Bean Original Field Coat; cotton lined. (Medium) ($40 shipped)
http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/18214?page=original-field-coat-cotton-lined
So I loved this coat, wore it a few times and then went on deployment(s). It wandered around from move to move in the same closet area as the coyote fleece and night desert parka. Re-discovered the other day and the wife took one look and said “No.” Nearly new condition, classic LL Bean (she’s not getting me to get rid of my LL Bean boots). I can’t really claim that I need it since I haven’t worn it for like a decade.
