I picked up my latest Eriba Puck earlier this month - imported it from England - and I'm almost done rewiring it from the 240V system to a 120V system. This one is a 1995 model - I had a 1989 Puck and a 1988 Triton before this one. I've owned seven different travel trailers and I really like...

I've got a 4Knines rear seat cover in my Discovery and they make a fabulous product - very high quality. I bought another one when they made some improvements to their original design and it is even better. My Standard Poodle loves it. They also make a load space cover...

Thanks - the six cylinder has been getting a lot of press but the four cylinder has been largely ignored. I drove a four cylinder 2020 Velar to get an idea of how the engine performed and decided to gamble on it for my new Defender. I was really hoping for a six cylinder diesel but I'm...

I don't think there were any on that trip, it seems from reading a few articles that it was a mix of the 3.0 six and 240 hp four cylinder diesel engines in the Namibia trucks. I am particularly interested in driving impressions of the 2.0 gas engine since I have one on order, I'm kind of...

I've spent the evening reading about ten different reports from journalists on the African test drive - they all sound pretty encouraging with the exception of some minor pre-production glitches that were still being fine tuned on the prototype vehicles used for this trip. Are there things that...

My "new" 1995 Eriba Puck with its primary tow vehicle.

That's what I understand is the off road tire option - DuraTracs but don't know what size on the 18" alloys.

Bilsteins break - I've broken a couple of rear ones. I'd highly recommend Koni Heavy Duty. That's what will be going on my D90 eventually.

I put a set of factory heavy duty springs on my D90 to compensate for the ARB bumper, winch, rock sliders, roof rack and roof tent. As suggested above check the factory optional springs first.

I missed an X1 that was for sale in Lawrenceville for around $29k about two months ago. It had been traded in at an RV dealer and they had no idea what it was. It had a lot of options and somebody beat me to it by a couple of days - I called as soon as I saw the ad. If I'd seen the ad sooner I...

Cool video here - commercial versions:

Go here: https://www.defendersource.com/threads/gm-chevy-250-engine-conversion.160130/ to read about Robert Davis' engine conversion. Robert has been stuffing different motors into Land Rovers for over 40 years. No swap is easier than his latest six cylinder conversion in a 110. you can...

Alu-Cab conversion on a 110 - consider putting a Robert Davis Chevrolet six cylinder conversion kit in it. Check those out on defendersource.com The Robert Davis conversion uses a stock Chevrolet 292 or 250 six cyliner inline engine - you can pick them up for a few hundred dollars and they bolt...

I spent some quality time looking at the sliders you guys built for the D5 Trek trucks at Land Rover North Point and they are very impressive. It will probably be the first accessory I add to my new 110 when it gets here.

A friend of mine did the Alu-Cab conversion on his 110 - If you want to be the envy of all your friends... Even my sister thought that is one of the coolest campers ever.

Well, I really wanted the Ingenium 6 diesel but it doesn't look good for diesels in this country and the MHEV sort of scares me so I'm going with the P300 4 cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine. I'm an old guy so I don't need a lot of horsepower but I'm really going to miss the 450 ft-lbs of...

So how long until you guys have a set of rock sliders ready for the new 110? I'm not taking mine off road until a set of your sliders is mounted on it. I learned that hard lesson at Tellico with my Range Rover a lot of years ago. The build order for my new 110 is going in the system this week.

Back a few years ago when I was judging a state science fair one of the elementary school kids did an experiment with the cooperation of one of his parents friends who owned a local car dealership. They lined up seven identical cars in a row along the edge of the dealer parking lot. The only...

Well that's good news, means that we will be able to start accesorizing our new Defenders right away. First thing I would want would be rock sliders and skid plates. I will wait to see what ARB will come up with for bumpers but a friend of mine has some great bumpers on his Toyotas made here in...

I had a rented four door Wrangler out in Ft Worth for a week - the year before they went to the more powerful V-6. It was a slug on the highway. It was noisy and I just about face planted a couple of times getting out of the thing - your trailing foot would catch the door sill and trip you up...
