I made a little progress. I charged up the battery and redid some of the wiring. I'm still in the testing phases, but the lights inside work now. I can charge the campers battery off the truck as well. I finally found some terminals. And started the cleaning process. I also have a new fuse...

Who the hell pays someone to do electrical wiring in such a shoddy manner. Every wire was hooked together with masking tape. Nothing electrical was working right in the camper. Now I know why. The previous owner had someone do this. I would kill someone I paid if they did wiring this poorly.

I just bought a 1970's Lance Vista Camper for a measly $900. Its in great shape, very clean and does not have any leaks. Seems pretty light weight and doesn't seem to sag my F350 at all. I plan to tow my Discovery behind it for harder trails. It does not have a refrigerator, shower and...

Sold

Its a trailer, not much to do to it. I've checked and greased the wheel bearings. I ran new wiring for new brake lights. They are built into the frame for the RTT, so I didn't cut holes into the original trailer. The old 24V trailer wiring is still there as well. I left it on there incase...

Looks like fun.

OR YOU CAN'T DRIVE. The only time I've needed a winch badly was when I had a Jeep Commander. The Disco and previous Range Rover are much better vehicles. I have yet to use my winch on my Disco to free myself. I use the winch to unload broken cars off trailers though. So I guess its helpful...

I installed the winch before I put the lockers in. Its useless now. I never use it.

I'm considering selling my Trailer and Tepui Autana RTT set up. It works pretty good. I've only used the tent once since I bought it in March. The trailer still needs a little metal work, but it works great as is. I'm thinking about getting a slide in camper for my pick-up truck and a trailer to...

I'll just keep my hook and steel rope. I've had the synthetic rope before, and it's kind of a pain to keep clean and always having to worry if you are dragging it over a rock. It does save a lot weight though and its very nice when you have to to use your winch. But lets be honest, with a...

Yes it is. pretty cool road. we stayed the night at the top

The D2 is over priced. It has a $1000 roof rack, $300 winch, crappy Equip bumper $450, and a bunch of tractor lights on it ($50), and a BBQ on the hood. For the price of the D1 you could add that stuff and still come out ahead. I have a D2 and it has been pretty reliable. I'm at 163K miles...

How about a video?

I've never owned a selectable locker before. But I can say its fantastic. Set up is a bit of a pain. But once you use it the first time and walk up an obstacle 10x's easier then before you had it, you'll wonder what you did without one for so long.

My buddy has an LR3 with the HD package. It does fairly well as a whole. It a little coaching (he's not very experienced yet in technical wheeling) he learned how to crawl up stuff, when to bump up stuff and how his LR3 performs. The LR3's are pretty impressive. But having a Disco with...

I got out my M101 Trailer tonight so I could see how my RTT works on it. Kind of a side project.

I don't have any rubbing. I have some weird off brand mud terrains in a 265/75/16. GT Radial Adventuro M/T. Cheap tire, but its been holding up great, they have pretty good traction everywhere I have tried them. They are getting a lot louder the older they get though. I have Load Range E...

I would get a new wheel to replace the broken one. and try the rock rings. I don't think there is much else to say unless you get the 17" steel wheels that Lucky 8 sells. 16 and 17 inch wheels also open up a lot more options for tires.
