    An Axe - Seriously?

    Here is a question. Why if I search for the word "axe" I am told there is no entries. But obviously this thread has Axe in the title. I'm looking for pictures of how people hung axes in their vehicles. I won't get into why I would need an axe, that is for everyone to make up their own mind...

    16 MPG

    MPG wise, my 95 Disco I with Automatic Trans has averaged 12.13 MPG over 18,129.4 miles. Most of my driving is below 40mph on hills in Cincinnati. When I drive the highway for a whole tank, I usually get 15. No matter what. I even get 15 when pulling a camper. As far as accuracy, I run the...

    LAND ROVER NEW TRAILER WIRING HARNESS- And associated items-

    Are you sure that Rover part isn't for a D2? That white plug looks nothing like the round plug that is in my Rover for the harness to plug into? http://www.flickr.com/photos/66371506@N02/6258259413/

    My little Harbor Freight trailer build

    Just finished reading through your thread. Nice build. My HF trailer has the 12" tires on it, and I have put about 5k miles on the original tires and bearings. I just grease it everytime before I unfold it. The preasure treated 3/4" plywood has held up pretty well in this time, but I do...

    My little Harbor Freight trailer build

    Nice!! I've was thinking about converting my 4x8 Harbor Freight trailer into something like this but a bit bigger, but then my wife found a popup for less than $1k, so we got that.

    Utility trailer conversions?

    I would like to point out that I have had a Harbor Freight 4x8 folding trailer for over 8 years, and it has driven over 10k miles with no issue. I am still on the original tires and bearings. I just keep it greased and inside when I am not using it. It doesn't even have that much rust on it...

    What vehicle for a family of 6? Small kids

    A 2004 Land Rover Discovery 7 seater would give you the seats. Especilly with your budget, you could fix all the annoying issues, and have a nice vehicle. I use my 95 sometimes with my wife and 3 kids (soon to be 4), but they are too small for serious off roading, especially with the sideways...

    First Gun - what shot gun

    The 870 is the longest running, best selling shotgun in existence. You should easily be able to buy a used one in good shape. I bought mine three years ago (Express Magnum, 5 round magazine) for $220 used. It was practically brand new as the previous owner barely ever used it. Heck, Walmart...

    Cargo Cover Quandaries

    So I ordered a rear cargo cover from a 98 Disco for my 95. I went to put it into the Rover, but once again the rear A/C that I never use has bitten me. It completely changes the driver's side rear, and I can't fit the cover in. So does anyone have a rear A/C compatible cargo cover that they...

    What's your AT tire psi/airbag psi/shock set up?

    I could understand changing the airbag pressure to correspond to weight. I don't understand why you would change the tire pressure on the trailer. It isn't driving anything, it only needs traction to keep from sliding side to side as the vehicle is going to pull it. Am I missing something?
