I'm interested in a wide oak in Green with the leg extensions. I'm 6'0" - 180 lbs and the standard size was a little too snug for my tastes when I tried out a friends Kermit - I like to sprawl out a bit and I think the extra two inch width would be just right.

I'd recommend a hard shell tent and probably a clamshell style for ease of deployment/packing. Take a good look at the Terrapod roof tent. It's a new tent that is on the market and I've got one on order. It's very low profile (under six inches tall), light and it has an optional roof rack for...

Sold! Going to live on a Land Cruiser in Michigan.

"Paint" effect in photoshop.

I've got the roof tent off the Defender and it's ready for a new Auto Home.... Just a few more weeks until I get it's replacement so it needs to move.

Thanks, so far it's a sixteen year project with more upgrades to come. I'm also restoring a 1967 Series IIA 88".

Since I've jumped in on Chad's Kickstarter campaign to purchase a new Terrapod roof tent I guess I'll need to sell my trusty Maggiolina Adventure roof tent that I bought back in 2010. Its been a great tent, warm, dry and comfortable but the new Terrapod Solo that I have on order (my wife would...

I bought one of the Joolco shower tents to replace my Pahaque tent that was sort of a pain to set up. The Joolco is a quick set up tent that was only $125 and I can use it with my small camping trailer as well as with my roof tent and awning mounted on the Defender. Its nice to have some...

I imagine that ASPW really wants is something like the Ineos Granadier - unfortunately a certain amount of electronics is a requirement for any vehicle to be sold in today's world due to regulations. I would be a potential Ineos customer but I'm not confident that it will ever be sold in the...

I saw those and it looks very impressive - I have a Bus Depot awning that is similar (Except the top bows are under the tent canopy) that I use on my Eriba travel trailer. It works very well and has withstood some pretty heavy wind gusts - properly staked down of course. I'll be interested in...

True mass production AWD as pioneered by the 1970 Range Rover (although the Jensen Interceptor FF - for Ferguson Four wheel drive system predated it by a few years) was a huge step forward in road safety in all conditions. On rain slick roads or even paved roads with a coating of dust or leaves...

No the D300 gets torque on demand, other models get front axle disconnect from what I see in the 21MY diagrams. In both models there is a drive disconnect clutch in the right front axle which whispers future weak point to me.

That sucks - one of the main reasons I've been driving modern Land Rovers for the last thirty years is the full time awd system. In heavy rain I like the feel of having traction at both axles. That makes me especially glad I've got a 2020 version. If I want rear wheel drive I'll drive one of my...

Yeah but shipping would be a problem. $75 to local buyer - I need to buy a smaller one (like the one I sold with one of my previous trailers so I could keep this one). Its about 16 x 15 x 16 and hasn't been used. You can get them from Walmart.

Well if we are going to get "artistic"

The first batch of 25 production units are being assembled now - they will start taking orders for the second batch around January. He used a Kickstarter campaign to fund the first batch. I think the price will be competitive - around $2800 but don't quote me on that - the kickstarter...

The new Terrapod clamshell tents will be available with a rack option - not sure what the weight rating is but it should hold a couple of kayaks. Contact Chad and he can give you an engineering assessment of the weight capacity. I've got one on order - I've visited Terrapod headquarters in...

You might want to look at the Terrapod roof tents as well, built of aluminum extrusion and 1" thick composite panels. Super light and low profile, I've been following them since Chad built his first prototype and have got one on order for delivery around early January. The four prototype units...

Hydrogen fuel does have promise but you have to remember that is the most reactive element in the periodic table. It will readily combine with almost anything - rapidly and sometimes violently. You have to very careful in the selection of materials it comes in contact with - hydrogen...

As someone who has owned twenty different Land Rovers over the last 48 years and driven hundreds of thousands of miles in them I can see Andrews point. The Ineos Grenadier looks more like what he (and I) would see as an ideal off road platform - more rugged than the new Land Rovers, inline six...
