I am going to assume your on board auxiliary electrical system is 12V DC. Many small generators have a designated 12v DC port. Last I saw the output of these ports could be anywhere between 5-8 amps. Like the Predator 2000 has a 12v 8am socket right there on the front. This would probably be...

Check Winco, Generac, Gillette, and Yanmar. They all make "small" open frame diesel generators. The main issue is these will be heavy and the smallest is about 5kW. Also pricing is going to start around $5,000 USD. Oh and just as an extra bit, they'll weigh about 200lbs and go up from there. If...

They are good vehicles. If you do a lot of highway driving, the Evoque is a much more comfortable and fun to drive. The discovery sport will have a better trunk area and has coil springs instead of air. X2 the cargo area of the evoque is borderline useless. Fine if you never use it to take the...

Not really a problem. Main problem is if you decide to drown the car. But few, if any modern vehicles could survive a full drowning very well. I've got a 2019 D5. It is also full of billions of microchips and miles of wires. No electrical issues whatsoever. In fact, no issues...period. 45k...

LOL not really. Its actually the main problem on these cars off road. Other than everyone buying crap-spec cars and not reading the owners manual. Not my fault people aren't buying cars with the rear differential locker, tow hitch, and vented seats. Those goodyears have crap tread, crap tread...

I guess it really comes down to what you want. The main pro with the jeep diesel is tons of aftermarket. So you can do all kinda whatever you want to it to doll it all up. 2nd hand stuff for JLs is coming around so that is nice too. Also great approach and departure angle. Of course its nice...

TD6 owner here. The engine likes highway and loads which is what I primarily use mine for. In that case, its great. Wonderful driving, great highway power, pulls good. In cold, stop and go traffic is where the diesel begins to falter. Ideally, once a tank of fuel, be driving on the highway for...

Its probably gone/traded. Simply put, they make their money showing the latest/greatest cars. The defender had its moment but now its on to the next new flashy thing. Not the Defender's fault or TFL's fault. Just how that game goes. No one wants to see you driving the same car for a year, they...

I did some research, seems like what you REALLY want (assuming you want all the off road things) is the "Terrain Response 2" package. It has the rear diff locker and towing package which is what I want in my next modern-rover. Also has the off road cruise control (want). The HSE package has it...

Weird. I was under the impression the hawkeye tool could do this. Also there is a built in "learn" mode that I've done in the past. Holding three buttons (I forget) to make it re-learn.

I think on 2 wheels, its quicker. There are some spots we slowed down for. Our average moving for the trail was about 8 mph. On top of that, we would stop and look at stuff, take pics, etc. There were other guys out there going faster. I'm sure if you've got 35s and air down, you could really...

I just did white rim. You'll need at least one camping permit while you are there. Unless you basically baja the road, starting at 5am. Which defeats the purpose. If I had to do it all over again, I would've started the trail early one morning and camped at White Crack, finish the trail out on...

Fun fact: a Roll of paper towels fits perfectly in the cup holder in the 2nd row doors (or a roll of shop towels that has had about 1/4 used, but same idea). My friend with a 3 year old showed me that trick.

I'd like a how-to video on how to use the "live values" screen. Either it lacks common sense or I'm dense. But I'd love to see live values coming out of my Blend doors (I think I have a problem...but no clue because can't get live values to work), but no. That is a summer project just because...

Buy a few spare brake light bulbs and a spare brake light switch. These are common failures. I had my switch fail on my out west trip. 15 minutes in a parking lot. Back up and running. Check the rear driveshaft. Carrier bearing do tend to die. Would rather deal with that a month in advance...

Yes easy on the LR4, but not the LR3.

For LR3, run fog lights while high beams are on. I might be able to do this, but I didn't see it, diagnose and calibrate the blend door motors on the HVAC system. Really, I would like to see a youtube library of how to do things get published. Like programming keys, calibrating suspension...

Yeah they'll clog up. That said, it was a muddy spot, in a turn, with a rut, up a pretty significant hill. I kept backing up and hitting it again but no joy. In all honesty, my rover with MTs probably would've had to pull winch cable at some point on that hill. That said, could've just...you...

BFG fanboy here. Can't help with other brands but here is my take: For Georgia Red clay, you need mud tires. BFG ATs will slick up quickly and get about 1/4" of mud OVER the tread...as well as in the tread. This brings misery. That said, you hunting in the wet a lot? Basically if its raining...

On the D5, you can get coils, but then you are limited to a single speed transfer case.
