    The article says they intend to drive around the world with it. The design smacks of inexperience, which will unfortunately prove dangerous for them and others. It would be possible to circumnavigate with a vehicle that size, but you would be restricted to the trucker routes and would have to...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    Unfortunately, the experience is only half complete, as only the front locker has been installed. The rear was incompatible with 2010 and later LR4s, due to a bearing size change. I know that ARB is working on it, and I hope to have an update soon. In reality, it depends on how you intend to...

    The long block is being shipped and we decided to perform a few other services, including a transmission reseal. DeYoung European here in Prescott is doing all of the work. I was a little concerned about a smaller town shop performing the repair, but these guys are squared away, and all ASE...

    Tough Ipad cases

    I have both the New Trent Airbender Pro http://www.newtrent.com/store/ipad-case/airbender-pro-nt610kr.html and the Survivor case for my iPad Air. I am pretty happy with the New Trent, and use the Air almost exclusively for my travel solution.

    Question on GAP IIDT + J Rods, vs GAP vs J Rods

    I believe the rods and the IID Tool are the appropriate solution, though primarily to shift the maximum adjustment range for using the IID Tool. The IID Tool can only lift the trucks about 20-50mm (on average) depending on how far the sensors are up in their calibration range. For example, I...

    The Canning Stock Route was surprisingly challenging. The worst stuck I have ever encountered was on that route. Over four hours to get two TLCs out. There were numerous instances where lockers were required. It is a difficult road for a typical overland truck, but certainly not extreme or...

    It is extremely rare. These inline gas motors are known to run 500,000+ miles. I went to the shop today, and they are convinced it was human assembly error with the cap screw. I decided to keep the gas powerplant. Boring, I know, but it will be the best outcome for my intended use of the...

    It was a 100% marketing failure, not a failure of the car. They overloaded them and overdrove them. Only the shocks failed. Having driven the Canning Stock route, it would be easy to smoke a set of shocks if you are not careful and don't bring enough spares.

    The truck came with the 3.2L (I believe around 215 hp)

    Overland Journal: G-Wagen

    I bought the 463 with the Brabus conversion and it only had about 80,000 miles on it, which is nothing for that motor. I think it was an assembly issue, given the bolts. Right now, I am leaning towards a stock 3.2L and going through the entire drivetrain. It will cost nearly the same, but the...
