1995 RRC LWB, completely stock, 50k original miles. Lotta life left in this puppy...

I do the same for our Scout Troop. When laid on their side, two 7gal. Reliance jugs will also fit in those large/long igloo coolers. I do this in Winter, throw in a hand warmer, and the water will not freeze overnight in sub-zero temps. For my personal use I have three plastic NATO water jugs.

Two weeks ago I installed new air bladders on my 1995 Range Rover Classic. The originals finally stopped holding air, which after 21 years is not too bad. Yes, 21 years - the original bags were date-coded 9402 and 9401 ! Aside from no leaks, the ride is 100% transformed - soft, supple, and...

Anyone find a good solution to attach the square profile 8020 to the round Yakima cross bars?

Ok, thanks for the details. I'm thinking about taller bump stops for my RRC. New air bags and manual inflation lines/valves will be installed this weekend, then I can better determine if taller bumps will be of value. My main consideration is clearance for a slightly taller tire, should the EAS...

JAK - Re: Taller bump stoops Did you gain much, if anything, in ride height on-the-bump-stops? Also, did you have to do any EAS re-programing to compensate?

I don't know the Mojave Road, or local water availability, but 5 gallons of water is way too light.

This is where the personal sleeping pad rules. You can get comfortable pads and avoid layering (although the interlocking pads make a nice insulated floor). My personal pad is an Exped Synmat 9 LW. I've used it on snow in sub-zero temps, to the deck of a sailboat in the Bahamas - easy to use...

Best solution is individual bedding - sleeping pad and bag sized to the individual. This is what we've done ever since our kids were ~2 years old. The caveat is the sleeping bag needs to fit the kid - too big and they will not keep the bag warm in cold weather. Keep your eyes open for specials -...

Ask my kids - we always camp in the rain - but don't ever let it slow you down! High importance is minimizing foot traffic to/from the tent entrance(s), and reinforce them (sticks, tall grass, hay) before they turn to goop. We use MSR ParaWing shelters for the cooking/eating/hang-out area -...

Hmm. My only concern is that we've already exited the era of efficient, long-running, high-mileage-to-maintnenace ratio diesels. Once I retire my 1.9 ALH I can't say I ever buy a modern diesel. Not sayin' I won't, but...

20L NATO jerry cans.

Bingo.

Scott - any update on the OJ RRC ? Still happy with the 215/85 tire size? I'm about to go the same size in the S/T Maxx...

The Frontrunner Wolf Pack boxes are very nice, but also small-ish. I use this to my advantage by carefully adjusting my kit, and the way I store my gear. For example, if you can arrange them in one layer on the loadspace floor, they would, in effect, provide a raised floor with ~6.5-inches...

Maybe you'll find some insight in this thread

I look forward to this. I'm picking-up a rust-free RRC that will need the same treatment...

Two issues solved by EAS, and at the press of a button...

A good option for the RRC without inducing a lot of lift, are the stock D1 rear Springs. D1 rears have a 210lb spring rate vs. the 180lb stock RRC rear spring rate - particularly useful if the Boge self-leveling unit is dead or removed. Tom P.

Zack - I think you finally "solved" it! This morning regular was $1.92/gallon...
