Trash storage bags (the Trasharoo & alternatives)

Recommended Posts

I'v been using a primoworkz trash bag the we sell at work and can't lie, its been Pretty sweet. I hated that I had to replace trasharoos yearly! They were black at the beginning of every season and living out of the jeep full-time by the end of the season it was light purple. I never broke my straps even overloading them but the material on them was constantly fading, or it would crack from being in the sun all the time, at least the black ones would. I'm guessing tan you'd never notice it was fading.

thought i'd share some of the various spare tire trash/storage bags that i've run across - and what i ended up with.

 

 

Trasharoo: $50.00

 

the Trasharoo gets credit with being the most popular vehicle trash carrying solution. i give them props for making it trendy to pack out your garbage. honestly the only reason i didn't like mine was the size - it's just a bit too large and frumpy for my needs.

 

some people also complain about them not staying on well. i found that not crossing the straps, but instead just tightening them as tight as possible and then using a short bungee cord to pull them together at the center of the wheel worked well.

mesh style sacks:

- Spiderwebshade: $50.00

- Alien Sunshade: $35.00

 

these both seem dead simple, and i can't tell any difference between the 2 companies' products just looking at the photos.

 

it's nice that they drain. they're probably great for clean-up events, but don't have any pockets or MOLLE to make them more versatile.

Offroading Gear: $35.00

 

there are several generic spare tire mounted bags on Amazon. this particular inexpensive one appeared to be a good medium size and has great reviews.

Overland Gear Guy - Spare Tire Trash Bag: $130.00

 

this is pricey but it's also the only one i saw with an innovative and very sturdy looking mounting solution. it has small pockets, MOLLE, and is made in the USA.

 

this might be a little small for a family, but seems just right for a couple folks on a 3 to 4 day trip. if my current solution doesn't work out then i may purchase this.

Blue Ridge Overland Gear:

- Tire Storage Bag: $70.00

- Tire Storage Bag XL: $170.00

 

Blue Ridge Overland Gear has a great reputation with folks on Expo Portal and they do appear to make some nice tool pouches and rolls as well.

 

these bags look to be made from a slick coated material. i dig that, mainly because i'm thinking they won't attract and hold so much dust.

 

the XL bag also mentions a 2 part system where the mounting straps can stay attached even when the bag is removed. however, the cost for the XL is bordering on ridiculous IMHO.

I have to say that off road gear guy is a great bag, been rolling with one since our AZ days and theres been no degradation at all. Due to some laziness on my part it rarely comes off the rig surviving the desert summers and the winters of the Rockies. Bonus, you can pack a surprising amount of firewood into it! Worth the money IMHO
