    Best aggressive but not “all terrain” tires for my transit connect

    Another vote for the Geolandar G015. I have a set on my LR3. Mileage is actually better than the EPA estimates for my vehicle—EPA is 17 highway, and I get 20 mpg. They are labeled an AT, but are relatively mild for an AT in terms of tread design and one of the lightest AT category tires. They...

    Rust Prevention and Reversal: Whats Your Experience?

    Same here. My F150 has seen salt maybe 5 times in its life, but what’s finally begun eating through the rear flares is due to dust from gravel roads accumulating where I couldn’t see it or easily clean it. Of course once I saw the bubbling staring to happen on the outside, I started...

    2011 LR4 HSE Build and Service

    Too late to help you, but it may be of help to others… If one untwists those plastic inserts like a screw rather than pry them, they come out more readily. I actually installed roof rails on my LR3 yesterday, successfully removing 5/6 without breaking. I had my tap set ready though. Also...

    New Defender News

    That certainly makes the factory coil-over option more appealing — too bad you cannot get ATR2 or the max tow options with the coil-overs.

    Overland Outfitters gear in a Discovery

    One item which I’ve been searching for and turn up empty on are expedition style, canvas seat covers. Melvill & Moon (South Africa), Exmoor Trim (UK), and MP4x4 (Poland) all make incredible quality canvas covers. Unfortunately, international shipping and duty taxes often make them cost 2.5x...

    Overland Outfitters gear in a Discovery

    I actually follow your “Land Rover Ideas for Jeeps” thread closely because I enjoy seeing the Land Rovers and also how you draw inspiration from them. I’m sure no one will be offended if you care to share more of your work here. Beautiful bags. They work really well in the LR interiors.

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    Has Ford made an outright statement? I haven’t tracked this at all since I don’t own a bronco or ecoboost engine. My only reference is what’s been reported in the linked article: “In October 2021, a now-deleted Bronco6G account posted that the failures were attributed to a bad batch of valves...

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    Article summarizing the issues with the 2.7L in the Bronco: https://www.thedrive.com/news/dozens-of-low-mile-2-7l-ford-bronco-engines-have-already-failed So far it’s been limited to a batch of engines built in the Lima plant for the Bronco, and not for F150. Failure has been a “dropped” valve...

    Land Rover DEFENDER 130 TD4 with a Cell Globe Camper

    Not an issue with Defenders per se, it’s whether the vehicle was tested/registered to meet American NHTSA and EPA standards. The threshold for import is 25 years unless the manufacturer released an identical model and engine in the USA when new. This is why you see plenty of 90s imports of...

    Who Has Scheel-Mann seats??

    My neighbor has custom Scheel Mann seats in his MB Sprinter. I sat in them the other day. Better than my F150, but no better than my 2005 XC90 or LR3. If budget were a concern, I’d track down some Volvo seats and modify the brackets to fit into the existing tracks.

    Rivian R1T (pickup) vs. R1S (SUV) for "overlanding"

    No, I’ve got an R1S order and those haven’t started delivering yet. I probably wont hear anything for at least another year. It will be exciting when people on this forum start getting trucks.

    Sold: 2008 Land Rover LR3 HSE - rear locker & winch

    Nice looking LR3. Really great mods. Only a matter of time until the general 4x4 public realizes how special the LR3 with the 4.4L V8 is. FYI —This looks like it is also has the “Luxury” package which had upgraded interior trim and seating leather. The standard HSE and SE have perforated...

    Does a 230 mile/charge range make you more or less likely to buy a Lighning?

    300 mile highway range is ideal. Plenty of tow capacity within the city, which is all the further I go when towing. On road trips, 300 miles gets me 3 hours of 70mph driving between stops for food, toddler play breaks, bathroom breaks, etc. The key to road tripping with EVs is to recharge in...
