When buying items on-line for yourself and/or truck what websites do you like to use?
E-Bay, Roadking or do you just do a search for the item you need at the time and see what pops up like a camping shop etc.
Are there any good truck related stores that do everything under one roof that you would recommend?
I’ve heard guys talking about the one at Lymm, if you mean a physical walk in shop.
For online you’re probably better just searching and seeing what comes up. I imagine truck stuff is like fishing. Fishing tackle box £70 because it says Daiwa on it. B&Q compartmented tool box £20.
What sort of thing are you looking for? Light bars or bling or stuff like gloves, stoves, gas, boots?

Nothing in particular at this time, but it would be nice to find something with all the above and more for a driver under one roof for future reference.
In the past I’ve just shopped around using search engines for bits and bobs. Camping store for a sleeping bag, E-Bay for most and I found Knights CB for some parts to get my old CB going’ but if you could get all this at one place it would be handy, prices allowing of course.
Lymm is a junk shop. For stoves back packs sleeping bags etc use Mountain Warehouse. Much cheaper and better quality than that All Ride rubbish that truck shops try and sell us.
I don’t buy shiny stuff, polish etc as cleaning lorries don’t interest me and nor do truck shows.
Aldi and Lidl do promotions on stuff like tools, tool boxes camping related kit etc. Stationery items I use Sainsburys Basics type products.

That’s what I’m getting at, truck shops will probably sell tat because its ‘for trucks’ supposedly.
Internet is the way forward, Google what you want and go. Paypal can be a wallet emptier sometimes

Cheers chaps, I’ll keep doing what I do then and shop around.
Ebay

Ebay
Most things I pick up are from Flee-Bay. Normally find an item then cross reference with the Bay. 9 times out of 10 the item is cheeper there.
Lymm isn’t a junk shop. Lymm is a very overpriced junk shop. eBay every time for me, unless something vital breaks while I’m out on the road. Don’t touch anything made by All Ride. Pound shop quality at Harrods prices.
If you want to be spoken to in a rude manner, like the smell of old cooking oil then come and visit the shop at Swindon Truck Stop.
Agree with the Lymm posts, I’d heard they had an “excellent, well stocked shop.” I had a look in there last year and it was wall to wall tat with some cb aerials thrown in for good measure.
Combine that with the Village People style trucker graphic on the shop front and Lymms reputation for lavatory entertainment, it’s not a place I’ll be shopping at.
