    Security camera system?

    Well, it can be. You get the option to use batteries or hardware, or both for full backup redundancy. Not every Ring device offers this, but the cameras and doorbells do

    Security camera system?

    For simplicity and functionality, its hard to be the Ring system. People don't like them because its owned by Amazon and there is the potential for them to look through your lens (so to speak), but frankly I don't care, I only have cameras around the exterior of the house. The software is...

    couple of random and general questions

    Question 1 scares the crap out of me. Land Rovers are not like a kneeling elephant. That little compressor cannot perform that trick on frequent, daily basis. Do me a favor and have her try something around the height of an Acura MDX, maybe a Nissan Murrano, BMX X3 or X5, Volvo XC90, or the...

    Is a Jeep Wrangler with a Defender Front End considered blasphemy?

    Land Rover protects their brand quite aggressively, and the Series III front end is a registered icon, so you may have IP issues. I would worry about that more than reactions from either side of the Jeep/Land Rover fan base

    OkMilo - interesting

    Have you guys seen this Kickstarter project? Might not be great for vehicle to vehicle range, but out of the vehicle could be very handy (especially with kids!) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/okmilo/milo-the-action-communicator

    1999 w 206k miles

    My family members and myself daily'd a 1998 for 4 years. Its a great vehicle, and it kinda feels like you are "getting away with something" when you can buy such a decent vehicle so inexpensively. The expression "Drive it like you stole it" definitely fits. They are very durable vehicles...

    LR3 and LR4 Brake Life

    Initially with the smaller disks, but I swapped them out with the larger V8 disks because someone else wanted to run smaller wheel diameter on their LR3, so it was a win/win for both of us, and then I kept that size moving forward. Never really left, I've been in lurk mode since 2017. New...

    WTB: 2004 Land Rover Discovery (maybe 03)

    Hey Joe! I’ve got a cherry 2004 D2, 50,000 original miles. Needs a head gasket. Its yours for $500. All stock, unmodded. But....Its dark green.

    LR3 and LR4 Brake Life

    I was probably one of the best “worst case” scenarios. I drive to win, heavy on throttle, heavy on brake. I live in LA’s bumper to bumper traffic, and used my LR3 offroad 3 weekends out of 4. My LR3 was loaded fairly heavy and usually carried a family of 4 everywhere we went. I drove 25-30k...

    Anybody switched from Montero to XJ and can share your experience?

    If you like the concept of the XJ, but wish for something a bit more modern, you might consider the Hummer H3, which is the spiritual successor to the XJ, though its from GM instead of Chrysler. Fits 35's without a lift, superbly flexible leaf springs, lightweight body, dirt simple drive train...

    Anybody switched from Montero to XJ and can share your experience?

    If you are short(ish) and fit in an XJ, buy one for all the reasons you stated. There are 3 major differences besides cabin size: 1. The suspension in the XJ is far superior to a Monty for off road use 2. The build quality and durability of a Monty is probably 100x over the XJ. Jeep sold the...

    Damage coming off the truck

    Dial down the anxiety, get more info about the damage, determine if it jeapordizes yiur plans for the vehicle, or if a planned mod such as steel bumpers would resolve the issue anyway. If there is any dealer provided option like floor mats or roof rack that you want, perhaps negotiate on this...

    Pajero Rear Door Weight Limit?

    I've had three Montero's. I've had to replace a hinge on all three. (1991 2.0, 1998 2.5, and a 2002 3.0). I think the max weight is about 50 lbs less than the door weighs stock. LOL
