To preface, I am a licensed ham and prefer 2m. However reality is that not everyone on the trails is also a ham user. CB is extremely popular, especially in the southeast. So it makes sense for me to have a common piece of equipment. On the other side, FRS has been marginally useful on the...

Any chance you'd be heading toward the Atlanta Area anytime soon? Or even Chattanooga?

Actually doable. You can usually find the front Salisbury if you keep an eye out. Would be easy once you've got it in hand. A lot would just bolt up.

I use http://k5ehx.net/ a lot. Has many "dead" repeaters on it but gives you a very good visualization of where everything is.

Everyone does have a point. I have seen a lot of D1s and D2s running 35s without any problems (obviously different axles, but doable). Would be easier and cheaper to upgrade the current axles with RCVs, Ashcroft shafts, and "pegged" diffs or whatever its called. You'll have to buy all that crap...

For 35x12.50, Dana 44s would be a consideration. Of course they'll need to be upgraded accordingly. If you can find a pair out of a Quadratrac Wagonner, then they've got the offset already. Not that it matters, but it makes me feel better. Otherwise, you have an advantage of passenger drop for...

Agreed. On the newer rovers, unless you go out of your way to screw it up, the plugs should last no problem. Also check gap. I have seen a brand new Genuine plug cause a misfire. This caused great distress as we had just gotten the heads back on. Turned out to have the wrong gap. So that was an...

I remember seeing a LHD camel trophy D1 at LR Greenville in like, 05 or 06. That might be it. If the dealer owns it, at least its in good hands. But as I've seen lately, dealers turns such vehicles into lawn ornaments. I think it was legit. Had a TDI, no AC, the proper computer thingie, and...

Good rule of thumb (and vehicle specific). At street pressure, measure the distance from the ground to the bottom lip of the rim. Record this measurement (so if you are running 35s and I assume 18" wheels, this measurement would be ~8" or so). Now take 75% of this measurement, which for our...

After owning mine for three weeks: Likes: -Its a darn good car out of the box. Planning on doing a lot without having to do a bunch of crazy stuff to it. -Fairly easy to work on. I've already had the trim out of the passenger footwell. Not that bad. Underneath isn't too bad either. I like the...

I got the Iridium ones. They are $8.50 off rock auto currently. I did buy them from Rock auto, they come in the correct packaging and everything. What gap is everyone using? I think book is 0.060 or something?

I've been following along for a while as well, thought I would chime in. I did a megasquirt EFI conversion on my 1973 Land Rover Series 3 with the stock 4 cylinder. Total home brew. Your description sounds like what I had with ignition issues. Specifically, tach signal to the computer...

Oh and if anyone has the workshop manual and parts book in PDF, let me know. These are AMAZING to have on hand on your phone/tablet. While I do have a hard copy of the workshop manual for my 109, I mainly use the PDF version on my phone or my iPad. I'd enjoy having the same capability for my LR3.

I plan on carrying an array of metric sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, etc. As well as anything needed to change a tire. So include torque wrench, breaker bar, and cheater bar. On long trips I always carry my safety seal plug kit. It just works. I'm looking at getting a good set of trim...

PM Sent. Still available?

X2 on the dash cover. Mine came with one and really, its fine. Fixes the problem just fine. Also now I can put stuff up there without having to worry about it sliding all over the place.

I ditched my baofeng for an Icom. The Baofeng, with a good external antenna...standing outside...BARELY receives from my local repeater...assuming I stand on a crate and hold the radio up high. My Icom transmits and receives to the same repeater from inside my house without a single problem. I...

At its basic level, you need your callsign to sign up for APRS...so that kinda answers your question right there. Yes you need your license for APRS.

Warn M12k here. While it is a beast, my issue is that it is SLLLLOOOWWWWW. So now duty cycle on the solenoids is a factor. Its good for one full pull, but BARELY for two without the solenoids giving me trouble. X2 on the 9.5 XP. Great winch. Also get synthetic. So much better than cable.
