Our family is loving the RRC we got from Jason with the 300tdi in it. If the conversion is done well this should be a great rig.

I have a deposit on a Columbus Variant. Will let you know if all goes through.

The sale won't be falling through. Good to talk to you on the phone and I can't wait to pick up the tent on Saturday. thanks Craig

Still looking bump.

The rear bumper is a Columbia Rovers bumper with a custom added spare tire carrier and the front bumper is an original Range Rover aluminum Great Divide edition bumper.

I went with the 245/75/16. I didn't want to tax the diesel too much for going to the mountain. I had to adjust the steering stops just a little to keep the side lugs from rubbing the traction bar. We are loving the Rover and I finally sold my DoKa the other day, so I get to finish out a few more...

I finally have my 93 LWB TDI RRC ready to go

We just sold our VW Syncro Double Cab and I sold our Autohome Overland large tent with it. I am wanting to replace it with a hardtop Autohome tent. Our first choice would be a black storm Airtop, but I know these are new and not a lot of used ones around yet. Second would be a Carbon Columbus...

PM and e-mail sent to you. thanks Craig

It looks like a Kia Soul had sexy time with an FJ Cruiser. What is wrong with boxy? Craig

I have a 93 RRC with a 300Tdi in it and am having some automatic transmission issues. It does not want to shift into reverse. I have to put it in reverse and then rev the motor some to get it to actually engage. Sometimes I can just jiggle the shift lever but it seems to getting worse. The...

I currently own a 93 RRC with a 300tdi in it. It was done by one of the top Rover Shops in Portland Oregon and was actually the owners personal rig. I probably paid about twice as much for the Rover because of the TDI but our whole family loves it. The range is one of the biggest things, but I...

I can't agree more with what is said above. Get a "real" bike. Specialized is really hard to beat for the most bike for the money. If you really can only spend $300 I would look used for sure and most likely look at hardtails. You can do a lot more with a well built hardtail with good...

If you haven't done it yet, you should ride stoker for her. Especially off road it is hard to realize just how scary it is descending when you can't see what is coming up. My wife and I put lot's of miles on a Cannondale Mt. tandem from that era. She actually went over the bars on it when we...

Amazing stage with incredible strategy and some serious guts from all of the top names except Alberto Contador. Can't wait to see if Andy can climb again tomorrow.

Spoke with Justin from Lucky8 this morning. He was super helpful on talking this through. I am heading towards using the Terrafirma medium Pro Sport +2 springs and shocks. Hopefully it will give a good balance between running loaded and running empty and wheeling vs overland travels. It is...

Is there an advantage to Terrafirma over Old Man Emu? I am also looking into the OME HD front and rear. The HD in front mainly for carrying the extra weight of the TDI and in the rear for when it is loaded with the family and tent. Thanks for the input and I will try and give a call this...

I am still a little ways off on this part of the build but I need to make sure I have time to over think it before I actually do something ; ) I have been looking into some of the lift options and the Terrafirma seems like an interesting option. I was pretty happy with the Old Man Emu springs...

I just picked up one their racks for my RRC and it is really nicely put together. Sturdy where it needs to be but not overbuilt. As for the logo you could have it water jet or laser cut out of the fairing (assuming it wouldn't cause too much added wind noise). This would give it a very classy...

This is a very rare and cool rig all of the details can be seen here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1107412 To keep the appropriate for here I am asking $36000, and I am located in southern WA state. The 16" Syncro is a rare off road version of the regular 14" syncro...
