Congrats. Such a shame to cut off a lot of the fenders to fit 35s; looks frankenstienish to me. Stick with 255/85/16s or 33s and minor trimming. I am running this size tires on BFG KM2s and Wolf steel rims, 3" lift, regeared to 4.14, hd axles, Detroit locker on the rear (keeping it simple -...

Thanks Detslider. We are spending time away from San Jose and just got back from La Fortuna; now in Uvita. Here's a pic of our rental while up in Lake Arenal. Beautiful place. Need another 2 weeks (smile). Looking forward to the water slide and rafting @ Rafiki Safari Lodge perhaps tomorrow...

Great! Anyone know who was singing the background music? It's Friday and feel like going somewhere anywhere with the family this wknd in the Land Rover (smile)

Been following this thread. Understand the concern on the EJ engine. I just bought a 2011 Forester (non-turbo); it has the new FB25 engine w/timing chain (vs timing belt):http://drive2.subaru.com/Win11/itsWhatMakes.htm To early to tell I suppose re: reliability better/worse as the EJ; anyone...

Are you the seller, and is the said card map for the West cover California/Washington/Oregon? I have a Baja 540c already; if yes to my question, wanted to know if you'd sell the card map seperately? PM if interested in selling, and pricing? Thinking prospective buyer might not need a card map...

Leave it alone unless the 3.9 engine is on its last leg and you can snag a 300 TDI deal and install it yourself. I have a 1990 RRC, and like the 3.9 as far as ease of maintenance (sure beats the 4.6 on my DII - eats head gaskets for breakfast). Again, I wouldn't change it. Yes, only gets 11...

Diesel engine in the LR4 for the US Market in 2013/14. Be great to see mpg go up to 28-30 mpg highway miles; 3.0 V6 Diesel is already avail (except here). Easier on the pocket book w/fuel cost for an overland trip to Alaska or Baja from where I live (smile). Plus most aftermarket parts for...

Excellent. Agree - find the expensive LR receiver hitch for recovery pt ridicously expensive. Do you have any picture(s) w/the d-shackle on? Great job!

When I helped install a pistol grip (purchased used on eBay/missing bolt) on my brother-in-law's 500, we took the old long stock bolt to Lowe's and matched it w/1/2" diameter, course thread, and 2" long allen bolt fit if I remember correctly.

Pink for sure. :) Not that there is anything wrong with people who like pink. Just not in an overland vehicle. Like putting a sign on your back "Kick Me". Hostile military will probably use your vehicle as target practise just to mess with you. Fire a couple scude missiles + or - off...

Cool thread. My two young boys and I just got back from Legoland CA and had a blast in the Mindstorm class; thinking of using our Mindstorm + Overlanding lego vehicle build. In the meantime, picked this up (# 7803); only if it came in Sandglow color and LWB (smile).

Great pictures Ryan! My wife is excited about the food and drinks (and massage)! Now if we can only sneak a nanny in the luggage us so she can watch our two young boys while we enjoy the night life (wish). Thanks.

Thanks Scott! I showed the link to the Rafiki Safari lodge to my two boys and got the thumbs-up; they are very excited; will most likely stay there for min 2 days, hit the water slide and rafting @ the Savegre River. Booked our airfare yesterday, reserved a compact SUV, and now planning our...

Ok last year started a thread and got some good responses to our PI trip; thanks: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/57366-Taking-the-Family-to-Laguna-Philippines-This-Summer This year's family trip will be to Costa Rica; flying into San jose International Airport in Costa Rica...

Back from the PI Wanted to wrap up my post from last year. My family and I completed the trip; thanks for all the suggestions. 3 weeks was not enough time so we just stayed in/around Laguna and nearby sites: checked out the hot springs; hiking; tried to live like locals; no Nintendos or Xbox...

Brian, Pm sent re: the FWC Finch. Thanks!

Butch, fyi, Tepui demonstrated one of their lastest newest tent addition to my local Northen California Land Rover Club; called the Ayers; 2-man RTT; retails for $750. Three of our club members purchased Autanas (3-man RTT w/Annex) and been very happy with them; I've checked out both Ayers and...

For a second, I was thinking Fountain Valley is Mountain View. I was wrong. Too bad you are not in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bump for you and good luck w/the sale in S. Cal!
