For the sake of discussion (and my own personal interest since I have one, that isn't installed yet) the tank was for either diesel or petrol and is still in production so far as I can tell. Its just that from the US website you can't 'see' it as they seem to be showing us what we're allowed to...

The 94-95 is tempting just to be OBD-I which nullifies emissions here (or you just garage it in a non-emissions portion of the state). That said I prefer GEMS to 14CUX...and if I were going to do another at this point there is a strong lure to a 200 TDI import!

For real. There was a period of time this week where she almost became a resident of Wisconsin. That may still happen at some point as I tire of the racket and extortion. What I do love is going back to the place where I'd gone for the past few years and my Lebanese owner-friend looks at the...

As the dust settles As the return to the US finally sorts itself and I am closer to not sitting on a camp chair in an empty house (literally, in a camp chair using a lap desk pulled from where the wife put it in her Taco before she came to the UAE (and before she gets back from the PRC and...

Well it looks amazing, even on the rollback. Wow,2k miles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like me about 2.5yrs ago...spent weeks looking for a green w/black, 7 seat, HID, cold climate under 100k. Good luck with the hunt for the best color Rover! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its worth it just for the look on people's faces when they are like 'no way that little box is going to start this thing' Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dii DC DS & microstart With the truck running 255/85's she really ought to be at a full 3" lift so that time is coming, in the interim I wanted to see what could be done on ~2" (a little more, but def not 3") and have found that with bumpstops it isn't too bad except at absolute full flex...

Nice score, the color combo is interesting but provides character-good stuff with the SG bumpers. Food for thought, at least from my experience with the platform: -Snorkel may not be necessary for the dual battery, i.e. just cut the trumpet off and put a battery there if you want a 2nd one...

I honestly believe Rover's like to get flogged. They hate sitting and tend to react poorly to being babied but so much (which doesn't mean you shouldn't have mechanical sympathy)...they love to be driven.

Recovery Gear (as of June 16) After a couple of years it was rather therapeutic to go through it all. Final piece; recovery gear. A lot of folks ask what's in the boxes on the roof rack and I finally got around to taking a picture of what is actually in them. But first, the why, I mean she...

Spares/Load out show and tell Continuing the trend from the medical stuff posted earlier-and prompted b/c of a spinoff discussion of spares on FB (ironically initially started about LR3 spares but a segue into D1 spares started too). When I pulled everything out of the truck I laid it out to...

Nothing wrong with that, I typically keep a go bag too, which (depending on which one) has many of the same elements in it for basic first aid along with the other stuff you'd want if you had to hike out of somewhere (water, some food, raincoat, etc). Of course since most of the time she's in...

More updates soon but while standing in line at the DMV figured last night's sunset was worth the share. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Onboard medical I don't know that I ever documented what's inside my medical stuff and amidst pulling everything out of the truck and checking it I took pics so I figure why not, I'll post it up here. A few caveats: -I'm not a medical provider. I'm a Marine, one who is happiest when there is...

Def check the gas cap. Mine comes and goes depending on the mood of the truck. I highly doubt its the purge evap valve.

I too got an SD rack, a low one in fact, with a whole yellow rust bucket underneath it for $1k-that was a lucky stroke to say the least though. As far as the hi-lift goes, funny you mention it since the past few days I stripped everything out, cleaned, inventoried, and validated and amidst that...

Welcome to the board. As far as what you care about, i.e. the costs/repairs after 120k the good news is...it depends. As a start point it is worth noting that the LR3/D3/LR4/D4 platform is light years from the issues experienced by previous generations-so anyone telling you to avoid a Rover at...

Doug- Nope. Current bedlined headliner is fantastic, will never fall down and the contrast actually works pretty well for my eyes.

IFAK headrest mounting While my D3 used a lot of lesson's learned from Coyote during her build I have also come back to apply the reverse. In particular I was very happy with the BROG headrest panels that allowed me to mount a pair of IFAKs up high where they are visible, accessible, but...
