The biggest changes are going to be in cost of mods, where the Jeep is quite a bit cheaper, but, because so many options exist, it might add up over time as you follow the creed: Just Empty Every Pocket = JEEP, LOL Second thing you are going to notice is that cargo space is terrible compared...

What about a 3.0L diesel Grand Cherokee? Plentiful, Cheap, decent mileage, repairable in the driveway, fairly capable with a 3" lift, can run 33" tires. Some even have lockers (QuadraDrive II). https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2007/07/grand-cherokee-overland-diesel-review/

You mentioned reliability. The Disco II offers durability, but not reliability. The Disco III (LR3) is the opposite, it provides reliability, but not durability. Neither get mileage that would make you happy. If you do end up looking at Disco II's, go for a 2004. Land Rover provided the...

I just thought, given the price of vehicles these days, that the second line was quite redundant, and it made me laugh. If you had said 60- to 80k, well then, now we've got options......Good luck. I think you need to set up a "choosing by advantages" matrix and prioritize your highly conflicted...

This is an old article, specific to LR3's, but should be applicable: https://lr3tips.wordpress.com/2010/10/01/will-bigger-tires-rub/

Interesting! I like this idea. BTW, here is the link: Personally, it seems like I always have something in the hand that needs to open the door, and it's very ackward to push the button on Jeep doors with your off hand. You have to rotate your wrist 180 degrees and position your elbow just...

Much Respect! Wiring up a loom like that is no simple thing. My friends at Technica make a good bit of money building those. Keep up the hard work Toasty! I hope the end is in sight!

I love the P38. Terrible, beautiful, wonderful, frustrating. Classic Land Rover

Nice! A lot less expensive than others I was looking at ($450 for ARB's slider for example). I had not even heard of DFG before. Thanks for the recommendation.

I am finally going to get a slide out fridge slide for my Classic Series II ARB 50qt. There are lots of fridge slides out there. I want a simple, thin, slimline unit that can project out over my rear bumper of my 2014 Jeep JK Unlimited. I do not need tilt or height adjustment. ARB makes a...

I have a large ARB recovery bag with a 3", 30k lbs 30 foot strap, multiple 7/8" shackles, several soft shackles, a snatchblock, a tree saver strap, high visibility work gloves (for spotting after the inevitable rock stacking and rigging for a recovery), and a spare hitch pin with cotter pin. I...

Power Tank seems to be having a good sale:

That rig is a beauty

Maybe I’m the one that is confused. I thought the L332 was the full size Range Rover? It’s sometimes called the FFRR for “full fat Range Rover” because it’s the biggest one (Although the interior cargo space is less). The RR Sport and LR3 share the same chassis. Only the suspension tuning...

That is my assumption.

The L322 was designed under BMW ownership, the LR3 was designed under Ford/Jaguar ownership. Very different parts and suppliers for things, so I doubt there is much in common, if anything. Some of the parts on the LR3 actually had the Ford logo stamped on them. I wrote a blog post about buying...

I was a member of the Alternator a Month club for quite a while. I think I went through 5 or 6 of them on my 2002 Montero. I ended up taking mine (a Bosch at the time, if memory serves) to a local shop to have it hand rebuilt, and that seemed to last several years until my daughter killed the...

As an aside, I think the "Overland Outfitters Cutlery Keeper" is really cool, but would get very dusty stowed in the tailgate table here in the West. Do you have ways of hanging it for quick rigging that don't require screwing to the tailgate?

Interesting story, love how things like this come to be. Looking forward to your future posts on what you find interesting. BTW, I am really intrigued and curious about this side mount trail table/kitchen set up. Looks really interesting! Edit: Seems like it would not be too hard to modify...
