Howdy River Guide, Thanks for the kind words about the Discovery. I’m in Springfield and you’ve hit some of the best places in Southwest Missouri. Can I assume by the places you go that you fish for trout? If so, check out the white river below Bull Shoals dam near Mountain Home, AR sometime...

Glamour Shot I celebration of rolling over 165k miles the old gal got washed today.

I’ve had a lot of lookers and a good level of interest in the 109. Alas, it still sits in my driveway. How about a price drop to try and get the old lady sold. NEW PRICE: $8,200.00 - also accepting reasonable offers. E-mail for additional information on the truck...

This is the first time I’ve had the Series for sale. I’ve sold off a couple of derelict Range Rovers but never have had the Series officially for sale. Really never thought I would/could sell it. Like you, I’ve scared many a knuckle under this thing. Hope all is going well with your project...

I’ve owned this vehicle for over nine years. Unforeseen financial obligations require the sale. The Land Rover was originally imported by Rovers North as a “kit.” 26,000 miles, believed to be original. Highlights include: Updated charging system with AC Delco alternator. Unleaded head...

Usually the upper part of the Buffalo can only be paddled until early June or after a heavy summer rain shower. We’ve had enough rain this spring to keep the river flows up so far. The day we floated the water level was 21 inches below the Ponca Low Water Bridge. That is considered “moderate”...

This past weekend (April 18-20) was spent with twenty or so of our friends canoeing, kayaking and camping on the upper Buffalo River. No trip would be complete without a pack mule. Here’s a photo of the Rover getting a workout; also a few shots from the float trip. We hauled nine...

This past weekend was spent with twenty or so of our friends canoeing, kayaking and camping on the upper Buffalo River. No trip would be complete without a pack mule. Here’s the Rover getting a workout. We hauled nine kayaks, one canoe and camping gear for my wife and I for the weekend...

I have been doing some tent shopping lately. I had been using a three person North Face tent for the past eight years. It was a tight fit for my wife and I but only camping three or four times a year we managed. After a camping trip last fall I decided I wanted a tent I could stand up in...

Amen to all and I’ll add my two pennies. Not sure how to describe the relationship with a Land Rover, I think it is most like the old Texas Division of Tourism slogan from a few years… “Texas is not just a state… but a state of mind.” Now transfer that over into automotive speak… “Land Rover...

As mentioned earlier, before buying a Discovery check to make sure it has received service at or near the factory recommended mileages. I believe the key to longevity in these vehicles is following a regular maintenance schedule and watch for warning signs. My experience has been that prior to...

I live three plus hours from a Land Rover Center and have not been in one in the past six years. That being said, when I bought my Discovery in 1997 all of the office staff and sales people dressed and looked as if they had just walked into the Center from a three week trek across the Great...

I have done some searching for the same thing lately. More just out of morbid curiosity than anything else. The OK Rover guys I have been in contact with say that Rover Cannibal is good to do business with. I’ve never had any direct dealings with either vendor. Best of luck to your brother...

Well Holy Cow there’s a name from the past. Great to hear from you, glad you posted up and said “hey”. I came across your name and some fantastic work of yours when searching for a wedding photographer. You bet I’m interested in getting together with a new club or whatever. Are you...

discosleuth, I have the LR Heavy Duty Springs on my ’98 with a 1.5 inch alum. spacer puck in the rear. Brand new the springs probably yielded about 2 inches of lift. However, the springs have been on the truck for 8 years now and I’m sure are tired and sagging a bit. I just put 235/85R16...

Here are a few photos of my current Rover collection. 1971 Series IIA 109 Ex-Mod Purchased as a “kit” from Rovers North in 1998 1998 Discovery Southern Missouri had some of the white stuff fall yesterday. Old steel bridge over Bull Creek in southern Christian County. dd

Thanks for the welcome and the kind remarks about the Rovers. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one that is afflicted with a Rover addiction. Southern Missouri finally had some measurable snow yesterday. Here’s one more shot crossing an old steel bridge. dd

Hello All, I’ve been lurking for sometime and found this forum after friend loaned me a couple Overland Journals to look at. I currently own two Land Rovers but have had Isuzus and Toyotas. Our overland adventures are usually never more than a long camping/kayaking weekend spent in the hills...
