    Mossberg 500 Shotgun Build for Gunsite 260 Class

    Brian- Makes sense, and truth be told I'm not surprised...thumb bite is a lot better than the scope bite scar I have that is barely visible on my right eyebrow when I let an M40A1 get a little loose doing rapid fire. In retrospect its all good training. I've never been very happy with the tape...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    You should drive over...make the dash through the KSA! The wheel carrier is still in limbo to be honest. The wife is clearly not in favor of it so it being on the back burner is the safest location for the moment. If Icon gets a Frontrunner shipment in that has an aux fuel tank, the story...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Bypassing the console aux port via the radio harness; iPod integration ver 5.1A Never quite being happy with the FM integration even that there was feedback from local stations a great deal of the time I decided to see how a solution off eBay UK would work out: Aux adapter lead After it...

    Discovery 1 Road trip preparation ?'s

    It's all good, happy the community is of help here. I truly do think that Rovers in general, and D1's in particular (b/c I'm biased) are very robust vehicles that crave to be driven and do love occassional attention. You may well encounter issues, but rarely will they keep you from getting...

    Monday Mods, 06 LR3 HD/SE

    Mine are doing fine in the relatively harsh sun & other climate factors (and ~weekly car washes) of the Middle East. The eBay ones that I posted come with a template.

    Discovery 1 Road trip preparation ?'s

    I would suggest a scan gauge over just a normal code reader, CEL clearing on the move & accurate temp monitoring in one package that sits nicely on the steering wheel cowl. Change the u joints in the DS's before you go and just take spare joints for the rear vice two shafts, worst case you can...

    Discovery 1 Road trip preparation ?'s

    Do the things you are planning & then get it settled from the radiator swap for a few weeks prior at a minimum. Past that just drive it. I drove mine from VA to WI & back last summer and had the vss go out (unplugged it and kept going sans speedo) and on the way back the roads of Wi claimed my...

    LR3/4 second battery (deep cycle) option

    Location is fairly set in that the LHD has its battery on the right side but there is a nearly identical location under the plastic cover on the left side, to the point where you use stock LR components as discussed above. The traxide kit comes with all of it already (along with pre-cut...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I'm with you, almost certainly will go that direction.

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I'm going to look for a second set here, worst case I can throw some 19's on while the 18's get powder coated before the BFGs go on back stateside. Best luck I've had back there was eBay.

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Almost certainly was, though there are a few sets of compmotives in the UAE. For my purposes one of the two styles of 10 spokes will get powdercoated, likely gunmetal.

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Christmas in Oman The tail end of the years travels and obligations has cut back on any mods, culminating with the kiddos coming out to Abu Dhabi for Xmas. A trip over to the relatives in Muscat validated the build of the truck again, smoothly eating up the miles through the desert in comfort...

    Clancy '97 D1 Build

    More pics for brain fodder. No trimming of sheet metal on mine, PO did a great job putting this bumper together IMHO.

    Decision time

    One thing you will find with Rovers; they like to be driven. If its mostly going to sit, it will have issues.

    Decision time

    That's interesting, esp w/your LR3 in the stable. I say it b/c it is my DD (only vehicle here in AD in fact) and we just got done driving it from Abu Dhabi to Muscat (350mi the way we go-which goes through pretty much nowhere)...while in Muscat we then drove down to a desert camp through the...

    Decision time

    Since it is expo the answer clearly is the LC, but for the sake of discussion since you are over on the Rover corner I think the biggest difference you may notice in ownership is intangible; owning a Rover is part of a community that, having owned multiple Rovers and Toyotas, seems tighter than...
