    Risks of buying a new Grenadier

    If I could buy a brand-new 1990's coil-sprung Land Rover today, I'd do it in a second. I like the size, feel, utility, and the way they drive. The Gren is pricey, but about as close as I can get. It may have unknown reliability, but Magna-Steyr has a good history. Since there is literally...

    Has anyone tried out the new Frontrunner Wolfpack Pro boxes?

    Over 12 years on my standard Wolfpack latches. I bought them with spare stainless latches, but they're still in the bag! Also keep in mind, written or not, everything has operating instructions.

    Front Runner Wolf Packs

    Going on 8 years and my boxes are a good as the day I got them. Once I finish up my COVID-19 projects, I'll order 4 more. I still have not installed the metal latches I bought, the plastic ones have given me zero trouble.

    Water storage

    Ray - we use these jugs with our Scout Troop, talk about rough handling! I keep them in square milk crates which greatly minimizes handling/transport damage, plus you can flip the crate to have a handy water jug stand.

    Water storage

    This is much more efficient than the old round, cylindrical containers. And they fit in a square milk crate which helps protect from bumps and scrapes.

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    Just lighting, it's alpine white. The photo was late in the day. It is incredibly clean, only 60k original miles and due for a Fall road trip! My dream LWB would have been a Cornish Cream LSE. I actually knew of one that a local club member owned. When I inquired about it, I had missed it by...

    Garmin Overlander

    I believe iPads only have the GPS receiver included with Cellular versions (may have changed in newer models). I've never activated my personal iPad Air 2's cellular service, and it does fine running Nav apps on my dash. My biggest gripe with Garmin devices is traveling back in time...

    Camp Cover Ammo Boxes

    I've been using the FR thin plastic latches for close to 10 years. I also bough their replacement metal wire latches, as a back-up, and those still sit in their original bag, in my spare parts kit. Go figure...
