    Prepping a camel trophy defender 110 for around the world...

    Hey, M&D Engineering has an uprated clutch disk that fits the Rover TDI flywheel for 2.8 TGV applications like mine. This kit solves this exact problem. I have this new clutch kit in a crate with my ashcroft r380 enroute to me now from UK. They sell their clutch kit on ebay now.

    Snorkel Wars

    All it takes is one front wheel going into an unseen pothole underwater. Role the dice.

    Into the heart of darkness - El Mirador with NLX

    After lunch we all put the finishing touches on uncompleted camp setup, and then James and Graham gathered us together under the awning to share the game plan. Our next objective was to gear up for a 30 minutes hike along a jungle path to go explore the still unexcavated ancient Mayan site of...

    Super Easy Hi Lift Jack Mod

    I've done both a while back and it sure is handy. I actually use the handle as a cheater pipe quite a lot when working on suspension jobs!

    Into the heart of darkness - El Mirador with NLX

    Moving a bit slowly as the kilometers of trail are starting to wear on the spring in our step, we begin unloading the gear necessary for lunch. It began with a delicious cerveza, and then the tables and chairs. Did I mention what a luxury it is to have fridge in every vehicle? There isn't...

    Into the heart of darkness - El Mirador with NLX

    Thanks Greg! There was a lot of lessons learned not only about best practices, but also about gear and I"m going to try and hit as much of them up as I can before this story is over. If I miss it during the story I'll summarize at the end. I have over 50 pictures to upload from this day alone...

    10 Epic Expeditions That Changed History

    You could say the same about the North Pole, but there is value in epic symbology in the geopolitical arena, as well as the commercial value of the R&D. There are many great expeditions, but very few that really mattered.

    Into the heart of darkness - El Mirador with NLX

    As El Hefe walks towards us with a few of his bumbling posse henchmen with him, Graham tells us to hang by the Defenders, and calls for Byron to join him. They meet the group mid-way and begin having what appeared to be a calm conversation in Spanish. After a few dramatic pauses, a lot of hand...

    Into the heart of darkness - El Mirador with NLX

    Another 20 minutes onto this new trail, we start to see more Chicalero makeshift campsites, as well as cut marks on the gum trees where they harvest the sap. James and Graham are making note of them as candidates for future trips. It’s like documenting water wells in the Sahara, you never know...

    Into the heart of darkness - El Mirador with NLX

    So after we all pack up our personal gear, we gather back at the dining area to begin breaking down all the site gear for loadup. As we’re doing this, someone calls out “Hey, there’s a dead baby boa over here!”. It was found in the space between our site and the ranger station by the water...

    FYRLYT's Now available at Sierra Expeditions

    30 Amp for a pair is a huge amount of draw. have those on at night in a cold rainstorm with your heater, wipers and everything else going and you better have a mean green alternator.

    Equal Tire Balancer

    Don't do it! I had them in my BFG MT's for a while, but couldn't get them to balance after a while. I actually contacted Equal, and they said they were never designed for smaller passenger cars and trucks. they were meant for large big rigs, RV's, machinery and such. They advised against it...

    I have an NAS110 with the original tubed rims, and I have been running BFG MT KM's on them for 6 years. currently have the 255/85/16 and I'm pretty sure that's what I'll stick with indefinitely. I have been running BFG MT's for over 20 years now on Roves and Jeeps, and they have earned my...
