I've done the popcan stove as well as used a Brasslite and Triangia. Popcan stove worked well, but could be finnicky.

Since purchasing my LC 2.5yrs ago I don't think I've driven my YJ more than 100km. Weak axles, weak transmission, archaic engine, interior made of melted garbage bags, body held together with self tapping sheet metal screws. Only redeeming quality is cheap and readily available parts. TJ's were...

Hard to believe that it's colder here in Saskatchewan than it is for the E7 team right now. -35C without the windchill here in Regina, as cold as -59C with the windchill in other parts of the Province.

I sent an email to Milwaukee product support and they replied that msw inverters are fine with Milwaukee chargers as long as they have a high enough ouput (300w). That satisfies me.

Exactly, last I checked they weren't made by Land Rover. If you are going to get all riled up because someone made a negative comment about Land Rovers, you may want to consider staying out of the Land Cruiser section of the site.

Oryx, I'd love to have you explain to me why you think Land Rover suspension is better than the suspension in a Jeep or an 80-series, because it isn't. There's nothing special about radius arms. My personal opinion of Land Rover has been soured by my dad's, which ate three of it's pistons with...

I've been using this set up for a couple of years. It works really well.

I know a few people who charge their power tools in their work vans on MSW inverters and have been doing so for years. Is there any way to tell if a specific charger can or cannot handle MSW power?

Agreed, reliability is paramount. Doesn't matter how good the suspension is if the truck suffers a catastrophic drivetrain failure. I would love to have a Land Rover as a second vehicle, allowing me the time to do all required maintenance.

If you saw a D130 Hi-Cap would you take a pic? Is there a point to any of your posts?

Well it's probably the one double cab in North America that isn't in a mine or on its way into one.

It's worth less when you buy it too.

I have yet to go through a drive-thru where I couldn't just lean over the passenger seat.

Meh. I've pulled out of a parallel parking space for almost every working day of the last two and a half years in my RHD and I've driven for hours on two-lane highways. I'm not going to get into an argument about it.

Was it an ex-MOD 110 with no rear windows? Because those things are dangerous regardless of which side the driver is on. I agree that LHD is better in North America, but only for reasons of convenience. I've never felt that I had poor visibility and I've never had a close call in the two and a...

Took me about 15 minutes to get used to driving a RHD. It's a non-issue. I find that the people who are most against it are those who have never experienced it.

IIRC, the BJ74 has leafs front and rear. All modern (late 90's? +) 7x Series trucks have coils up front. Also, until very recently, Nissan manufactured Patrol Ute's that competed directly with 75/79 series cruisers.

That guy's on mud, I recognize the BJ74 with the exo cage.

B.C. is the only place in North America where this is the case. There are a handful of shops scattered throughout the U.S. that work on them, but nothing of any significance. Parts can be ordered, a mechanic that's familiar with the truck is much harder to find. You basically need to be able to...
