If you guys have anything or can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

I looked in the EE for a couple things, but didn't find anything. I also have checked locally, but no luck. I'd like to get these locally as some wouldn't be worth the shipping cost. I am in Prescott

Large tractor tire (1-2), railroad ties, large diameter rope (looked at both HD and Lowes and they appear to only carry up to 1/2" diameter), kettle bells, medicine balls

As most of you have figured out, I am trying to put together my own style of a home gym. Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

Wal-Mart has kettle bells. Lowe's or Home Depot for RR ties. Hit one of the tire shops for a large tractor tire, or go over to Empire - I bet they have some they want to get rid of, or contact Fann contracting or some other large company and you could probably get your hands on a big tire.

Home Depot has larger diameter rope online and it looks like it will ship free to your house or store.  I only did a quick search and found some 1-1/2 inch x 50 ft

HD rope

I have some $100 HD gift cards that I'd can sell you for $80. Message or email me if your interested.  That'd help you save some.

You could probably find most of that available on Craigslist.  You going to be putting up a climbing rope?  I'd be interested in seeing a pic of your course when you get it together.

I went to REI at paradise valley mall over the weekend. I come from the west on cactus  and  go in behind the target store instead of making a left at the light.  Behind target or one of the stores there where at least 10 tractor tires.  I don't know if they are trash or not.

I know Empire won't have any tires, When they get their tires done, they have the tire company haul them off.  but I would try Sunstate. They do a lot of tires on their rental equipment. Or try a place that does semi truck tires and look for super singles. Or try Fann Contracting like Rizzo Said.

Thanks for the replies so far everyone. I was honestly trying to avoid Walmart and target.
I will give Fann a call and see if they have anything.
Thanks for the heads up on HD online. Don't know why I didn't think of that.
I have searched craigslist and found nothing.

Home Depot has large diameter rope
TireFlipping.com has large tires and they are in the valley.  They even have a few that are like 2,000 lbs.
Check landscape places for railroad ties they usually have them.
check craigslist for everything else.
Christen Fitness Factory has all kinds of equipment.  They have a warehouse in Phoenix you can pick stuff up at.  Located at I-17 and Thomas.
hereis about 50 different Kettlebells on CL
here is rope on CL
here are 4-5 places to get rope on CL.

EDIT
sorry missed the part where you are in Prescott.

Nope, we have a Dicks, but they are overpriced. There is a big 5 too, but I haven't made it in there.

If you're buying retail, might as well just order from Rogue

Trying not to buy retail for most of it. I've looked on the EE and CL, but nothing. I'd like to get some of this stuff used to save a bit. (Kettle bells, RR ties, etc). The rope will most likely need to be new.

Make a day trip to the valley and you could get everything needed.
