    Diesel options/sources? 109 Hybrid

    Wow. Nice looking rigs on your site. Wish I would have known about your 95 Tdi about 6 months ago. That probably would have been a really good deal.

    Travel vs. Truck - Nathan's Grand ExPoordition

    Scott, that would be great. Do you have general-area waypoints on a route you've taken? I know a lot of that area is private property. I'd be interested in a route I could take without trespassing :) Thank you! Jason PS-Scott, are you still planning a 300tdi in your Disco?

    Diesel options/sources? 109 Hybrid

    One other thing I might add. The US dollar/ British Pound Sterling exchange rate has been abyssmal. The price Duncan is quoting for a 300tdi DELIVERED is about $4500. With the exchange rate so bad with the UK right now, you'd probably be well above that. Just an additional .02 to the mix. Good...

    Diesel options/sources? 109 Hybrid

    I am in the process of installing a 300tdi in my Discovery. You need to realize, this is not a project for the faint of heart. If you can find an engine for $4500 delivered, you are almost half way there. Duncan Goodchild, is the guy on ebay from British Columbia. I've talked with a couple of...

    Nathan Thank you for the note. I guess the secret is to (sorry Nike fans) Just Do It! I am going to have to just load up the kids and wife and take the Land Rover on a trek. I live in Boise, and I know there are lots of places to go around here. I grew up in a little town on the Snake River...

    2005-2006 Ford 6.0s?

    a guy here in Boise at Diesel Injection Service installs aftermarket turbos on the 6.0. One of my partners at work had one installed after his bit the big one. He also took off the emissions control stuff and catalytic converter. Installed an Edge Juice w/ attitude. His truck is a rocket ship...

    Tire Search - AT/MT Hybrids & Siping an MT

    I had a set of Goodyear Mt/r that my buddy siped for me. I think they were great all-around tires after being siped. I did notice better handling on ice and snow after siping. I had almost 50,000 miles before buying new ones. Haven't siped these mt/r yet, but I'm going to.

    In the Chinaman Gulch pics, there is a white Land Rover D2. Do the license plates really say, "WTFWJD" ? :) funny. I can't believe that made it past DMV!

    New Land Rover Discovery I and II racks from BajaRack

    Scott did you take the photos of the D1 yourself? Have you viewed the rack in person? Are you thinking about finally putting a rack on your D1? Jason

    New Member, and a question

    My D2 had no electrical problems, til it caught fire and burned. Of course, that was because of power steering leak that kept dribbling on the exhaust, and it caught after a long trip up a steep hill........... I loved that rig too!

    Anyone here in CA with an imported 1985 or older Diesel Defender?

    Could you email me a copy of that too? I live in Idaho, but I'm gathering as much info as possible on 300tdi's and conversions. I'm assuming you are talking about the legality ????

    Show us your roof cargo systems.

    Does anyone have suggestions for a cab/roof rack for a Ford F250 crew cab? I'd like something I could leave up there year-round. Low profile, but I could put a basket or a pod on if I needed to. Any suggestions? THanks! Jason

    Freelander as an overland vehicle?

    Stephen Peters aka SafariRover, had a 1997 XD for sale about a year or year and half ago. It had a 300Tdi. It was on ebay and posted for sale on several forums before he sold it.
