    Tappet failure

    Pretty common, try some Seafoam as it usually does the trick, then a little Mystery Oil.

    Long range seating

    We put a set of Viper (heaters, lumbar, etc) take outs in our old TJ, and they were great after you got in them- infinitely adjustable. As stated above, getting in was the issue with coil overs and 40s, but once in them, paradise!!

    Rubicon Unlimited vs Unlimited Sport

    For your application, I would suggest the Sport, add a rear locker either Detroit or TT, AEV 2.5, a tire upgrade and winch. Then get out and enjoy as the ride will be amazing, and the insurance of the Detroit and winch should be plenty. As far as the habitat, I choose a tent cot for my solo...

    Expeditionary Compass - Mounting on Windscreen - Maxing Out

    Agree, but I am not in the middle of the desert typically and needing closest couple degrees, and have only xx options when driving. I still refer to the sun, shadows, moon, etc for rough direction i.e.roadways, etc. Not trying to fuel a debate, just saying be aware of the surroundings/basics...

    WTB: Military Michelins for a vet with cancer

    Sorry to hear of your health issue, but glad to hear your approach!! I have either a set of 4 or 8 of the 9.00R16. I have 4 on my 130 but can swap to nonmilitary if need be. I believe they are all XS, and at least 4 seem new. The other 4 are 80%+. Willing to sell reasonably, but pm if interested...

    Range rover classic vs discovery

    I vote for the '94/'95 Disco as they don't have the fused link- worth the decision alone to me.

    Defender engine swaps

    Don't kid yourself. LR skipped doing a '96 NAS 90 as they couldn't get OB2 to work as they were utilizing the Disco ECU. By '97, they had added the CV tone rings simulating road speed via sensors for a reading for the ECU, but obviously never did ABS, etc. It was needed for engine management...

    Defender Crew Cab rear seat fridge mount

    Yea, slowly but surely- it keeps getting second billing. Also, decided I didn't like the gray, so completely disassembled her, and went Alpine White. Now I have a bunch of white body parts everywhere. On a good note, I just got a one owner XD from Cali and we are almost done with a fresh...

    TRANSPORTING CLASSIC RANGE ROVER

    DISCLAIMER: I am not sure of this, but have been told while towing in tcase N, the shaft spins with no gear involvement/engagement. When this happens, no oil is being 'splashed' around for lubrication, and the resultant heat is the issue. This also explains why it works short term, but not so...

    Defender Crew Cab rear seat fridge mount

    I am doing the two fronts in the second row of my 130 also. Also, remember the 110 & 130 rear seat area is of different dimension.

    Mid-Frame Mounted Winch

    buy one very good winch, and use a cradle and F&R mounts. You can store the winch where ever suits for accessibility, CoG, keeps weight off front and rear, keeps it clean, and will most likely it will never be stolen or messed with- just gotta find a place to store it. Also, do rope in lieu of...
