I think I qualify for PTSD after seeing these repeated threads everywhere on multiple forums. I'm already in counceling from defendersource.com postings on this topic. I'm going to call this the highlander thread. In the end, there will only be one. It has been foretold.

You flat out should keep these. They are so damn versatile. NLX sold me on these in quatemala, and I wouldn't consider another brand other than Hennesey. They are an easy way to expand your camp beds while taking up no room and good to have if you find the need to camp away from your vehicle...

Let's see a writeup! I have yet to see one installed on the net in hi rez

Envy says it all.

I have 2 girls, 6 and 9, and I'm 46. We are marooned on the same island together mate!

I'll admit I don't know anything about that engine, nor do I want to get into a debate about approach with mouse, but I'll say this. The UK is an island. You live on the continental divide. I'll leave it at that. If trail running is what you want to do, then it sounds like your plan is dump...

Ha! You are either don't have girls or you are much better at drawing a line than I am! With 3 kids yourself, I'm guessing the later.

regardless of the fact that their MPG outperforms any luxury suv we have here, our government, as stupid as they are when it comes to EPA and DOT regulation, likely won't allow them because they probably don't have enough cat piss in them. I can't wait until US and EUC diesel standards finally...

Now we are friggin talking...Tom Collins needs to step it up over here!

Here's a few planning assumptions based on my experience: rebuilt turbo diesel (200tdi or 300tdi) w R380 conversion by reputable experienced shop: $14-15k 5x 255/85/16 all terrains on steel wheels: $2k 2" lift (springs and shocks. maybe a double cardon front shaft if vibration after...

Curt, the point I was trying to make about the emergency room was the consideration of how to outfit, with the assumption of solo travel in your 110 with a family of 5, and the merits of having a camping trailer to give you the freedom of movement to do something like make a run to the emergency...

You've got some good answers so I'm not going to dwell on it, since, as mentioned, we are trying to share our collective experience and (at least for me) painfully learned wisdom on this very connundrum many of us have faced, of how to go about this. If you sense any frustration, it is (again...

Ha! As we say in the military, "that is A way, not THE way!". My wife has a DII, so I could switch mine to the CT support 110! Just think, me and 3 fridges! Oh yeah, and the 37 stuffed animals.

With that said, if you are planning for a family of 5, having a family of 4 myself and a 110 built for overlanding, I can assure you that you are a candidate for a camping trailer. You won't even have enough room left in the 110 for the non-negotiable toys, before you have even loaded the...

I would agree with Chris. how the vehicle looks should be the last thing you would consider. Your very first priority, and an absolute requirement of any vehicle being considered is reliability. I would replace everything on your cooling system first (as this is always the biggest point of...

Good to know. I'm a data analyst by trade. I spend alot of my time wishing I lived in Denver though! I would not pass the chance to move back west, and Denver seems to be the best all around choice for me.

I'm in Charlotte, NC

PS, Dividingcreek, evilfiji and Chris Snell are Dsource members and know what the hell they are talking about!

This exactly. Also come on over to www.defendersource.com. Many of the Defender members in this Rover sub-forum are members over there. It is THE N. American forum for Defenders. Everything I learned about my 110 was from that forum, the RAVE manual and hands on. I get all my advice about...

Early in my automotive customization life I used quick splice connectors on my CJ7 mods and repairs, and they haunted me with intermittent faults for years to come. They are plastic manifistations of the devil himself and I have since rid myself of them in my kit and all my vehicles. I would...
