    Discovery 4 / LR4 Auxiliary Long Range Tank

    Most smog shops should be checking underneath the car to verify the CATs are in place and no modifications to the exhaust pipes, fuel lines, etc...this is actually called out in the steps for visual inspection that must be checked. Remember a smog check is both a visual inspection AND an OBD...

    Discovery 4 / LR4 Auxiliary Long Range Tank

    Boy with 29 additional gallons of gas (6.073 lbs/gallon * 29 = 176.117 lbs) plus an additional spare, not to mention bumper, winch, sliders, rack, skids, etc, that LR4 must be pushing some serious weight when fully loaded with fuel, cargo and people. Would love to know what it's tipping the...

    Suggestions for a Simple LR3/ Discovery 3 setup for Offroading and exploring

    Two ways to achieve this: (1) take an angle grinder with cutting disc (or use a hack saw) and cut out the metal webbing and lower bar only (leaving the side and top bar) of the bottom section of the LR Cargo Barrier. Doing this allows you to still mount it correctly and allow for items to be...

    Who makes the very best white gas stoves and lanterns?

    Exactly. The context of the question pertained to car camping from what I understood. I've seen the plastic pumps accidentally stepped on and break. I agree you shouldn't step on them, but ******** happens sometimes.

    Who makes the very best white gas stoves and lanterns?

    well, except for the pump. this is its weak point. Primus and Optimus edge out MSR IMO due to the fact their pumps are all metal construction as well. Don't get me wrong, MSRs are great stoves, their pumps just fall short of what they could be. At the end of the day as has already been...

    Looking for a good 6-8 person car camping tent

    Don't get too hung up on the drama you've read. A lot, and I mean a lot, of people were abusing REIs old lifetime return policy. Extreme examples were returning empty Cliff Bar wrappers and saying they weren't satisfied with them quenching their hunger. Or tents bringing returned after 10 years...

    Looking for a good 6-8 person car camping tent

    Dave, was your Timberline the old non-SQ Timerline 6 with the basically aluminum poles and plastic joints eureka used for the past 50 years or was it the newer SQ Timerline 6 with the super strong DAC aluminum poles and joints? I can attest that the newer SQ models can handle some serious wind...

    Looking for a good 6-8 person car camping tent

    Based on this, I'd still suggest looking at the Eureka Outfitter Timberline SQ 6... Durability and ability to handle the elements is what it's all about. If the a-frame is scaring you off, check out the Cabelas outfitter dome tents...the Alaskans or XWT's. The XWTs may be an overkill and out...

    Looking for a good 6-8 person car camping tent

    Have a look at the Eureka Timberline outfitter SQ 6. Really awesome 6 man tent with plenty of height for you at 6' and is their outfitter edition which means it's over built for things like 210D nylon Oxford floor, #10 zippers, DAC poles and more....it's made to take the abuse of outfitters...

    My super simple, single battery solution... or... good thing I have AAA

    For your question regarding your amp hour calculation. Keep in mind the fridge will only be pulling 2 amps when the compressor is cycling and thus won't be pulling 2 amps for 24 hours straight. A quick look at the ARB Australia website shows the following for the 60L fridge: CURRENT DRAW...

    GAP Tool Nav on Move Update

    I suspect you'll hear from GAP before Monday....they are normally very fast to respond. I do know the "Nav on the move firmware" is only intended for this function and this function only. I suspect once you've finished updating the truck with Nav on the move, you'll want to refirmware your gap...

    My LR3 lightweight storage platform build (UPDATED: actual dimensions on pg 4)

    here are the dimensions of mine. Please note, all measurements post cut meaning these measurements are what they need to be after you make the cut, i.e. account for the saw blade width. Click on the pics to make them larger. Note: the "6" connector labeled in the TOP pic should be a "5":

    Thanks for the additional info. Any chance you've sat in a Helinox Chair One (not the rei copy) and if so how do the two compare?

    Best camping chair under $50 - $60

    Been looking at these. How comfortable are they to sit in? Is the seating position reclined a bit or is it more an upright seating position? Do you have the feet extenders to give you more height? if so, how is the stability of the chair with them added?

    My LR3 lightweight storage platform build (UPDATED: actual dimensions on pg 4)

    You're missing the point of the tape. It's simply to add thickness to the inner walls of the tubing. The tubing inner walls have teeth that has it really bite. With the tape there you can't pull those tubes apart from the connector without some very serious and hard wacks with a...

    Storage Box Efficiency

    I have a couple of these "Really Useful Boxes" and the only issue I have with them is that the lid latch becomes very loose in the closed position after open/closing it a few times....to the point of where the latch doesn't really hold the lid on any longer. A bit disappointing b/c the boxes...
