It's from my new illustration site. Thought you guys might like to see it. Oh, here's the link: http://l-dopa-shop.myshopify.com

Hey guys, I'm cross posting this from the Unimog sub-forum, hoping to get a few more eyes on it. I've got this site called West County Explorers Club. It's about adventure/travel/overlanding. We're also creating our first t-shirt. I've just created the design and thought I'd share it here to...

Hey guys, I've got this site called West County Explorers Club. It's about adventure/travel/overlanding. We're also creating our first t-shirt. I've just created the design and thought I'd share it here to see what you guys think. We're picturing this image on the chest of a grey t-shirt, and...

One of the blades on my Leatherman Wave stopped locking this year so I sent it back to the company and they sent me a brand new one. The thing was 15 years old but they back it for 25. I was pretty stoked so I reviewed it on my site. Here's a link to the post. If you have a broken one in a...

For the last couple years or so my 4-wheel-drive system has been engaging intermittently. Normally I'd shift the transfer case lever into 4 High and the green lights in the instrument cluster, indicating the status of the front wheels, would blink (four-wheel drive engaging), then go solid (in...

If you're interested in installing LED turn signal and brake lights on your truck, I just posted about it in the General Vehicle Modifications forum. I used my Montero as an example, so if you have a Gen2 (1992–1997) the post is tailor-made for you. I tried cross posting it here but the...

I posted this on my blog but am reposting it for the benefit of Expo. Hope you find it helpful! A few months ago I thought it would be cool to convert my turn signals and brake lights to LEDs. I had seen them on my friend Greg's truck and I liked the crisp on/off quality. I thought it updated...

I wrote a post on my blog recently about waterproofing the stock turn signal lights found on some ARB bumpers. They always rust out after the first water crossing. I looked for a way to waterproof them while maintaining easy bulb replacement. It was like trying to find the Northwest Passage. I'm...

I've got a Valley, Class III trailer hitch for a Gen2 Montero (fits years 1995–2000). It's bolts onto the 4-bolt plate in the middle of the bumper and also under the truck. It's a good quality part but does have a little bit of peeling paint. If you'd like it and you're near Sonoma County...

In case anyone is interested, I found a copy of the Volvo C303 / C304 / C306 owner's manual in Google Docs.

The seller of this truck contacted me and I thought it looked like a nice truck so I posted it on my site. Here are the basics, according to the seller: 1984 Land Cruiser FJ45 Troopy. Australian, RHD, imported in 2011 and treated to a $72k, frame-off restoration. Balanced and blueprinted...

My girlfriend and I, and our friend Greg, were out on the California Backcountry Discovery Trail this past summer and covered about 200 miles of dirt roads, camping as we went. The trip, which led us deep into the Bigfoot-backwoods of Mendocino and Six Rivers National Forests, took us about...

Hey Guys, here's a quick video of a trip we took to Canyon de Chelly this summer.

As part of a recent trip through the Southwest, my girlfriend and explored Canyon de Chelly in Arizona. 800ft-high, sheer cliff walls, towering rock spires, horses roaming free--we were pretty amazed by it. Here are some photos. If you're interested in reading more, I wrote a post about it on...

The Montero, first launched in May of 1982, turns 20 -- correction: 30! –– this year. Here's a post I wrote with quick video of the Montero's evolution. And me and my friend Greg's trucks on a recent Sierras trip.

I've had a problem for a while now with the tachometer on my Gen2 Montero sticking at about the 3500 rpm spot on the gauge. The needle moves a little bit with engine revs but within a very narrow range (within two of the small hash marks on the gauge). I tested the tach inputs on the the wiring...

I found this 1991 Range Rover Hunter (my write-up) on ebay via Bring a Trailer. 156k miles, with the 4.6L V8 and 5-spd transmission from a Discovery. The 1991 Hunter is the rare, base model with cloth seats.

I just installed an ARB snorkel on my Montero and wrote a post about on my WCXC blog. Here’s the biggest tip of the whole exercise: use the template only to drill the big, 86mm hole. Mark the small, snorkel bolt holes as well but use the bolts themselves to determine their exact positions. The...
