    Blacksmith Engineering Company Cummins Turbo Diesel Defender

    Blown head gaskets. Hot spots falling out are the common ones. There are tons of ex MOD trucks around here and at least half have had their engines die.

    Older GPS? Keep an eye on it in April 2019

    That is strange. I have Garmins over 20 years old that work fine. At that time there was lots of discussion with Garmin engineers as they tested every model before the last EOW. It would be very strange to have a newer device that have an issue. The code needed to avoid the problem is stupid simple.

    Older GPS? Keep an eye on it in April 2019

    Unless you are running a GPS from the mid 90s you won’t have an issue. You would be pretty crazy to be using one from back then as they are horribly slow.

    Wireless back up cameras

    With the Gamins you can have multiple cameras working with the GPS and switch between them. However the cameras are wide angle enough to see the trailer and hook it up with one.

    1992 Defender 110 200 TDi

    Yes. I assumed he just had a typo. Hopefully he does not really think it is a 300TDI.

    manual transmission for classic Range Rover

    Or an R380. You just need to make sure you get the V8 version from a Discovery or Range Rover. It is not a big job to change over.

    Pretty toys for rich people. They have completely lost touch.

    Circuit Breaker Sizing for Winches

    Yes. A manual disconnect is the correct solution. Turn it on when the winch is to be used.

    Say Goodbye to Your CB Radio

    Only legal in the USA so it has very limited use for any real overlanders.

    Discos never had the four pinion diffs. Original Discos had 10 spline and I’m 94 changed to the two pinion 24 spline. All crap.

    Lr3: snow chains or cables. Anyone have preferences?

    On road. Cables if you need to have something. Off road you need "real" chains and the tire clearance to use them. All of the light duty stuff breaks and that can cause damage and strand you. I live where it is winter seven months of the year and off roading on chains is the only way to go...

    SIII and brakes/overdrive upgrades

    A series 3 should have power brakes. If they are bad you should fix them.

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    You are either missing the point, don't want to see it or do not have the relevant experience to see it. A unibody, independent suspension vehicle is simple inherently limited in becoming a "serious" off road vehicle. The point of sticking with a multilink, live axle, body on frame setup is to...
