My ex-MOD completed the final leg of its journey from Galveston to Seattle last week. After picking up the truck in Texas and driving it to Colorado, I drove it on the Utah Rovers trip but didn't drive it back to Colorado. Instead, I left it at Ben's place until I could finish the journey...

I've taken trips with Ben and this Disco all over Southern Utah and this truck is tops. The organization of this truck is top-notch. If you look through the photos from our trips, you'll always see us cooking meals on Ben's rear door table. I think it's because of his storage/kitchen...

I used 2 AWG.

Don't waste your time trying to splice. Making battery cables is easy. The best way to do it is with a professional battery terminal crimper tool but you can do it with a hammer and one of these, too. Most good battery shops (like the kind that sell golf cart and solar batteries) will have...

Hi Scott, The 110 was flawless. Not a single mechanical problem the entire trip. I am in love. The fiberglass top won me over, too.

No shipping. Sorry.

The box is free for whoever wants it. Come and get it before it goes to the dump this weekend. The battery mounts are well-engineered and very strong. It would make a great dual- or quad-battery setup for a trailer.

Peter's driveshaft was making some noise so after dinner, he pulled it off to repair a failed U-joint. Needle bearing powder: Good as new. The next day, we headed up onto the Aquarius Plateau to explore. For those that haven't been there, the Plateau is one of the more strange...

The next day, we made our rendezvous with the rest of the group at Hell's Backbone Grill. I had the Jenchilada and ordered an extra tortilla this time. I love these tortillas. From Boulder, we headed south for a campsite above the Escalante River. I'm always surprised by what I...

The Utah Rovers BBS crew just finished the annual trip to Southern Utah. We covered over 1,000 miles together, most of them offroad. The trip really started for me four weeks ago when I picked my new truck up at the port in Houston, TX. I bought this truck from a government liquidator...

Ok, I need to get this thing out of the garage. If you are interested, make an offer.

What: Land Rover military-issue quad-battery storage chest for Defender trucks Where: Colorado Springs, CO Price: $150 USD I have a military issue quad-battery storage chest that came out of my Tithonus Land Rover 110 FFR (Fitted For Radio) truck. This chest was designed to hold up to four...

My truck went through the MOD's Tithonus life extension program. I'm not sure if they replaced the speedometer when my truck went through the program but it came to me with 43,000 km on the clock. It runs like a champ, the interior is very nice and things like the heater and windscreen wiper...

I don't want to get into exact prices because this thread isn't about the money but you're looking at about $15-17K to get the truck through a US port. You'll need at least a few grand in the bank in case something goes wrong. In the end, you'll end up with a MOD 110 and it's important to set...

Thanks, all. I will post photos once I get the interior cleaned up a bit. It's got a lot of dust from my trip and there's still some areas of grime in the cargo area. Overall, it's in remarkable shape. The bulkhead is near perfect as far as I can tell. Frame also looks great, as do the...

That's awesome. As I watched the ship move through all of these ports, I wondered what it would be like to work aboard one. Probably very boring, huh? Do you have any photos from your time on the ship?

I got an e-mail last week that my truck had arrived at the port in Texas after its three-week voyage across the Atlantic. Several months prior, I purchased my MOD 110 sight-unseen from a company in the UK who specializes in the disposal of ex-Ministry of Defense assets. The purchase was a bit...

Looks like those are going to tear into your fender wells as soon as the truck articulates. Have you checked for clearance?

Definitely.
