Afternoon Gents, Did a quick search but didn't turn up anything specific on trailers. Got my trailer interior painted recently and its now time to start on fitting it out. I have the front compartment for water tank/sink and a seperate space for my kitchen galley (photo attached). so its...

Does anybody here use the above boot from Meindl? http://www.meindl.co.uk/products/Military/74/Desert-Fox-Safari- Our forces are currently using these around the world and I have read a few good things about them. Looking ahead to upcoming trips these boots would really compliment my current...

Ok a bit of an odd one. All the threads relate to builds, axle weights, chopping up old jeeps etc. Couldn't find anything specific. I know it sounds petty, but Im after some advice. well, I have a well built ex MOD Sankey trailer. the PO did all the hard work making the body. He used Gravelly...

Eve all, I have just bought one of these and it is awesome http://www.campingsolutions.co.uk/stoves/frontier-stove/ now, I also have a 1.7m hannibal awning with all 3 sides. I would like to use the stove in the awning enclosure during winter and colder months for comfort and drying clothes...

Hi guys, Been bashing my brains out trying to find info on springs here in the UK and I think I have it sorted. Going by OME standards does anyone run their 90 with 762s or 763s on the rear? I would like to hear your opinion. Basically I have a set of Terrafirma (TF) springs, medium duty...

I have started to put my trip report together for our recently completed expedition across Burkina Faso - Mali - Senegal for the MAPA Project. MAPA are mapping national parks, reserves and conservation projects across africa to help promote their existance and conservation. We were fortunate...

I found a feature on my recenty aquired Leica D-Lux 3, Flip Animation. After reading the timelapse thread I thought this was pretty cool, it does however have limitations (20sec vid/100photos/no audio) and you have to manually press the shutter. Has anybody used this more creatively than just...

Afternoon Gents, After getting back from my 5 Weeks in West Africa I have been through my 500 odd photo's and edited the RAW files from my Nikon D70s. I have found that when cropping down I seem to lose stacks of quality. I admit that I have cropped the pictures quite a lot, but I was hoping...

Eve Folks, Didn't quite know where to post this subject but thought it best here as many of us use headtorches in and around camp/vehicles. If you are not aware of what this is, look here: http://www.petzl.com/en/outdoor/headlamps/core-rechargeable-battery I have just ordered the new Tikka...

Eve guys, This has been on my mind a while. not started my trailer build yet, but thinking ahead (as always). basically as the title, how best to charge say, a single 100ah batt using the vehicle. The reason I ask is that I have a few options. At present I am running a pair of batteries in...

I was in a well known discount store in the UK today and came across one of these: http://www.exofficio.com/product_details.aspx?item_cd=2071-5026&key=f7d421ab-a572-4f20-a7e8-aba31138b18e bought it for my girlfriend £12.99 ($20) :victory: Its one of the few places I have seen this stuff so I...

Hi Guys, 1st for sale thread as I am based in the UK! I have a few pairs of Heated mirror elements for Defender mirrors. They come in at 155mm x 95mm. This is for the elements only, no wires, switches etc. they draw ~15amps. not sure what our exchange rate is like for you guys at the moment...

I know you guys get these in the US. Here in the UK they are almost unheard of. I like the idea of one for various recipes and as they are compact can be stored easily. Just wondering: how often do you use one? what you cook in it? advantage over say, a dutch oven on an open fire (we already...

Evening folks, thought I would share a recent purchase of mine, A Sankey based Overland Trailer :wings: Inspiration taken from my brothers across the pond (ie, you) we have opted for a trailer to tow behind the D90. Now I cannot take credit for the box Body, it was built by another forum...

Is there a need for Rugged/Tough phones for backcountry/overland use? I have for a while wanted one, just because it is tough. I dont have a habit of breaking phones (only 1). My current Sony (k810i) is pretty sturdy if very scratched. I recently bought a Panasonic CF P2 off ebay because it was...

Does anybody here have a Hannibal side awning on their D90? Just wondering what size to go for. I have been told only 1.5m ones will fit, but is this due to the length of the rack? I have the option of buying a 2nd hand unit that is a 1.7m version. I would bolt this direct to the external roll...

Afternoon guys, Been thinking of getting a winch extension sorted for my Warn M8000 but not sure which route to go down. I always thought It would be better to get a 30m synthetic line with thimble'd ends then if my primary winch line snaps, I can use this one in its place. But ARB and others...

Evening Guys, I just wanted to pick the collective brain of the forum over the differences in the above tents (aside from weight). I currently have the old Topline maggi (med) which is sturdy, has put up with howling wind and rain here in the UK, scraped under trees and been across Europe. I...
