The Green RV, my Mobile Base Camp is approaching it’s 100,000 mile celebration! As a part of the party, I wanted to increase the fashion and functionality of my front bumper so I turned to the guys at BuckStop Truckware to design my heavy duty winch bumper. As good as it looks, it greatly adds to my safety on the open road.
I can’t tell you the number of times, over the last 19 months that my adventures have kept me pushing it, early in the morning and late at night. In addition to vehicles big and small, I have shared the road with numerous dear, elk, moose and even a roadside black bear. Driving at dawn and dusk can be a full contact sport in some parts of our country. With animal/vehicle accidents on the rise my leading edge of defense, a huge part of my safety plan is a bumper that can handle the impact. For those times when swerving isn’t safe, your bumper can make all the difference. I love the tag line at BuckStop, “The Best Bang for the Buck.”
BuckStop Classic II Bumper
The BuckStop Truckware Classic II is rugged beauty with a grill/brush guard, fully-enclosed winch area accessible through an included access door along with a 2″ trailer receiver that will get plenty of use.
I upgraded (in a huge way) to a Warn 16.5ti heavy-weight series Thermometric winch for it’s smooth, quiet and amazing power. One look is all it took. I can’t find a better setup.

My goal in visiting TORKLIFT was to make The Green RV, my Lance Camper, more stable and secure. Soon I will be towing my Lance Base Station (Lance 2285 Trailer…stay tuned for details!) and needed to fashion a truly solid, unwavering system for both.
To secure my Lance Camper fully, I needed a frame mount system whose turnbuckles were 100% Stainless Steel, 100% tool-free and 100% lockable. FastGuns are precision-made from High-Impact Powder-Coated Stainless-Steel, comes Spring Loaded and includes Spring Tension Indicators all in addition to a Lifetime Guarantee.

I then turned my attention to towing. The SuperHitch Magnum along with the Supertruss Receiver Extension fills the bill in a formidable way. It is a class 5 hitch rated up to 20,000 lbs with weight distribution. It also utilizes a 2.5 x 2.5” top and 2 x 2″ bottom dual receiver and hardened, reinforced hitch pin locations. Supertruss extensions come in 8 lengths, from 21”-60”, so whatever your configuration, they’ve got you covered.
All Torklift products carry an industry exclusive lifetime warranty.
