Ed- I don't think there is misinterpretation. Hence why I said 'hypothetically' since it is known to be violating the FCC to use something like a Baofeng on GMRS channels-even if you have both a HAM and GMRS license since I'm unaware of Baofeng having an FCC certification to operate on any...

I think you'll be happy with the superwinch; get the synthetic line version. KO2's are fantastic tires for these trucks. The rear swing away has purpose but detracts a bit from utility. My experience was that I appreciated the tire back there in case I had to change them & I liked having a...

I think what bothers me about it is that it loses some of its utility for looks. Less interior cubic space (what makes the LR3 & 4 fantastic). Yet it is longer, and wider. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/compare/Land-Rover-Discovery-vs-Land-Rover-LR4_d152_d2041 (admittedly I like the SVX, if...

Quite true. Like many things in this hobby. For example I have found my recovery gear is far more useful to make up for the folks that have nothing, or worse something with open metal tow hooks on it or something. The issues with getting a CB dialed in are why I think GMRS has a lot of...

I highly suggest looking for either some decent GMRS handhelds or potentially hopping on ebay and grabbing a Midland MXT 100 or 105 (even just the 5w will be good). I'd bet for your purposes you'll get better return on that than a CB depending on how your antenna is configured and such...

Joe- Off the shelf, given how I use my truck I'd probably just call my friends at Lucky 8 and get the terra firma units (https://www.lucky8llc.com/products/terrafirma-discovery-3-rock-sliders-with-tree-bars). Far from the most robust, but sufficient for providing a little bit of protection, the...

^this. While many, particularly out west (but thank god also increasingly on the east coast) are taking the HAM test and installing decent vehicle mounted radios I think there is an emerging sweet spot within the GMRS realm (I have both HAM and GMRS licenses). I really like the Midland...

It would be more accurate to say if you bought a RR radio it is not configured to operate on amateur radio frequencies and thus that license is not needed for your application. You would be operating in the 'business band' given FCC spectrum allocation. What you really are driving at, I...

Here you go, click at your own risk of course: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwi5qJ-P6YfYAhWEJiYKHYWrCw8QFggpMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.virginia1774.org%2FDIA-ST-HB-07-03-74.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3NNtHesc4IeYMFsbAbMacp and...

I believe it was a comment directed at the idea that the RRC and Discos share heritage with the Defender. If you want to be precise, the 90/110s, Discovery, and Defenders (to be truly pedantic) share heritage with the RRC.

I tend to make a distinction between the RRC/90/110/Defender/D1 heritage and the Dii (not to mention P38). There are some similarities between the D1 and Dii; but quite a few substantive differences-the porosity of the block, for example got much worse by the time you started seeing Bosch...

Discos have never had the following that RRC's have had; hence the delta in price. It is worth noting that the Disco, from its inception in ~1989 as Project Jay, was a step between the total utility of 110/90 (aka Defenders) and the luxury of the Range Rover (Classic)-now as an unabashed Disco...

Just for the sake of nerding out, the term is definitely resident in obsolete manuals-specifically the Small Arms Identification and Operation Guide series, both Free World and Eurasian Communist country editions. No argument that it isn't a common usage term, I was just highlighting the...

First off, glad you are ok-and hope USAA does what they do well for you (I have found them to be fantastic). If the worst happens and they buy you out; drop a line-I know a guy with ~20 RRCs, perhaps you and he can reach an agreement for one of them! As far as the 94 D1 goes, 'electrical'...

D2 cargo rings would work too I think, without knowing exactly the size of the seat hardware. This is what I use: bolt plates. Perhaps slightly more elegant for 1" webbing than the Dii rings but either works. Pardon the nasty floor, but this shows where they mount and then how I integrate...

So everytime I try to type out the definition of assault rife from the US Army the post doesn't seem to want to go through. Decidedly odd. Bottomline is the US Army has a definition of the term, so it is very much a military term (albeit one mostly focused on threat weapons like the AK series...

1) Fridge (Intially an Ironman, then upgraded to a Snomaster) 2) Hanging trinkets off the outside and such tends to be what most do first but a few years back I used VOT as my excuse to get a fridge and then I realize why so many folks had advised that it would change a lot for not just me but...

You sir are correct; the sleeve let go (among a variety of other unfortunate things) that eventually led the crack. Was rather sad, truck was phenomenal in that form. Ironic too since the preceding 4.0 had the head go-and thus the same exhaust/coolant opportunity. All the more painful because...

I don't think I'd do that with an LR4 just because they love their voltage regularity-if you want to defeat thiefs and such why not isolate the fuel pump instead of the battery writ large?

Like others, I've got a dual battery opposite from my primary (in the side with the brake lines). I also have a compressor (a single, think it's a TJM based off color-it's been a bit since I grabbed it in Abu Dhabi). As the pictures note I managed to also squeeze my NOCO into the space. Winch...
