$20 a piece EVERYWHERE around here. I have no idea why. Doesn't matter if take the wheels off or not either.
At $12 I would just have them rebalanced. At $80 I'll work around it. Especially for used tires.

Well, that's off topic lol
Take stuff to keep them occupied? Why bother leaving the house then?
lol. Beach toys for the lake and sandcastles and a couple books always worked for me.
Everyone cooking their own meals on a fire is great for a family and less BS with one person standing over a stove. Bannock is always fun. Basically pancake batter on a stick. Another breakfast approach reduces cleanup and makes for more tasty: Everyone does their own bacon/pancake/eggs in a pan. Bacon grease is THE BEST grease for a pancake: basically alternate everything you cook with a slice of bacon lol. Plan meals to avoid boiling water - really obvious example being roasting hot dogs. Boiling water takes time, fuel, and you gotta lug a ****load around. You can also do meal packets like some meat, potatoes, and veggies wrapped in a billion layers of aluminum foil and tossed in near the edge of the fire, though you might want to start the meat on the fire first. Not sure if this has a specific name.
Tents - double your requirements. I'm not sure where the hell they come up with this "9 PERSON" rating system - maybe if sardines could be called people...
(No kids yet - but I went camping a lot with family and Scouts, and still do go camping)

The kids both get their little back packs to put what ever they want into. That's it.
They usually end up watching a movie on our tablet after dark.
We have a pop-up camper for powered sites and a couple nice tents for non-power sites.
I carry a travel sized gas grille and a rubbermaid container with kitchen supplies. Chairs, clothes, fire wood.
I like cooking "tin foil dinners" as well. Burger, seasonings, taters, carrots and mushrooms wraped in foil and throw it in the fire.

It works out well.
They put them in the back seat with them so that leave the entire cargo area for everything else.
When I'm not pulling the camper I use one of those racks you insert into your hitch on the back. That thing is a life saver.

Naptha Coleman stove for the win. I have my grandfathers from the 60s - thing just needs an O-ring. They're the Jeeps of camp stoves haha

I have a Coleman propane Stove/Grill. Works awesome!
I also have a Propane Buddy heater.
How does a lawn mower fit on reese hitch rack?
Mine barely fits on our 6' x 10' trailer.

If I use uni-body tie in brackets (like JCR ones) when I build a bumper, can I use just the three standard mounting holes to mount the bumper? Or should it still run farther down and tie in as well?

That what I thought, it'd be overkill.
I don't have a bumper yet, I was thinking of buying JCR brackets, then making my own bumper.
I may just make my own tie in brackets, built into the bumper. I do like how the JCRs have the sway bar bolts tied in, just don't know if its worth the extra money vs. Making my own.
