    Pie-iron cooking

    We use them every chance we get, even in the back yard. Everything from desert to main dishes.

    Cast iron question

    That's what I use, butter, especially with eggs. Using enough butter to make the food 'float'. Need to make sure the pan is nice and hot before adding the butter though. At least that's what I've been told and do.

    What is y’all’s overland tool kit of choice?-Modern Land Rover

    I have a '63 SIIa 88. I have a small shop's worth of tools as well as recovery gear and extra fluids and first aid items in a military storage crate. Two actually; small one for everyday driving and a larger one for long trips. The mutt is sitting on the big one.

    Not Something You See Everyday..

    Next to nothing. I switched my '63 SIIa 88 over to an alternator. And then went from the original 2 fuses to several.

    Is this why JLR are dropping Land Rover?

    Here's another aspect... A few years back, I read an article wherein Land Rover was said to be "racist" and perpetuating the "Colonial" idea. The article even quoted something from LR's heritage that was used in advertising - it said something like "in several parts of the world, the Land...

    Is this the First RTT?

    Don't buy it... it's that would be more of an RV. A RTT goes on TOP of the vehicle or trailer, not just "above the wheels". If that were the case, I could say the tub of my Rover is a RTT since it's above the wheels... ??

    Is this the First RTT?

    But... that's a chuck wagon, not a RTT.

    Is this the First RTT?

    Nope. One appeared in the January 1937 issue of Popular Science, called the Topo-tent. There is also a patent from 1929.

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    I know of someone getting ready to convert a 1951 LR SI to an EV, base cost is $40K. If they add all the other things he wants add - they aren't even close to original spec, such as power steering and AC - it will be closer to $70-$80K. Why ruin a classic....

    2020 Land Rover Defender is a Nightmare

    ROTFLMAO!!! Amongst my 4x4 friends, mainly Rovers, there is a running joke - "Toyotas, the terrorists ride". There are several articles out there, and IIRC a Governmental investigation in re the Taliban's love of the Toyota.

    2020 Land Rover Defender is a Nightmare

    Exactly... it's just a status symbol, another high-end soccer mom SUV. Doesn't mater how much spin LR tries to put on it,it is what it is. For that money I would much rather have an actual, original Defender.
