NGK plugs have a coating on them that makes anti-sieze unnecessary. You can get them at NAPA or Autozone.

I used the Proclip part number 853572 mount on my LR3 with a Ram ball mounted to it and a short arm and X-mount to hold my cell phone. It worked really well.

Are Azalai's common in Europe? They are my dream camper - I saw a Toyota Hilux based one last Spring in South Carolina. It was being driven by a Spanish couple who were touring the USA, They didn't have any problem bringing it over on a temporary visa. I knew an Australian couple who brought...

The old style BFG AT's were terrible in mud - the new ones have a design feature to help them self clean according to a BFG tire engineer I talked to at the Overland Expo. I'd go with the new ones.

I was down in my basement sorting through some other stuff a week or two ago and spotted the poles for my old Timberline - and thought I threw that thing away years ago, didn't I? A few more minutes of searching and I found my old stinky green tent. Now I get to try your trick to see if I can...

Any advice on using a Windows based tablet for navigation? I'm especially interested in something that will allow you to use tracks and routes from a Garmin GPS system on a Windows platform.

I was one of the first in our Land Rover club to buy a used LR3 - once I had one other guys started getting them and now there are at least five other LR3's and LR4's in our group. I plan on buying a new Defender when they come out but also went ahead and pulled the trigger on a Discovery 5...

The 2013 RRS would have shorter wheelbase than the LR4 so it wouldn't be as good a tow vehicle. Good choice on the LR4!

When I swapped my 10 spline RRC rear axles over to 24 spline Discovery axles I remember that I had to change the rear stub axles - not sure if I swapped the hubs as well but I don't think so. Its been about 18 years since I did that swap so the details are a little fuzzy.

After running through several old Coleman stoves (both white gas and propane) I finally broke down and bought a 16" Partner steel stove last Spring - I paired it with a 5 lb. propane bottle with a 1 lb bottle as backup. I was trying to reduce the size of some of my camping equipment. My old...

I really like the X2 - with one of the new Eezi-Awn Stealth roof top tents on top it would be a great trailer to tow behind a diesel D-90.

I saw those at Expo East and was thoroughly impressed as well - very nice campers and well thought out. The stairway to the upper bunk was killer!

I have a 2017 Discovery 5 diesel and got the 20's because the availability of aftermarket tires in 21 inch sizes is dismal. It seems that manufacturers are avoiding the odd numbered wheel sizes for real off road capable tires. That's why I swapped form 19's to 18's on my LR3. Tell him to go with...

Beautiful scenery in this promo film https://vimeo.com/233385042

I daily drove a Series IIA for over twenty years. You really learn to relax and watch the scenery go by. You'll get a lot of friendly waves and gas stops take a lot longer because of the questions you'll get.

Plus if you are in bear country cooking in a tent brings a whole new set of problems...

I'll third or fourth the Cabelas Alaskan Guide Geodesic tent - a friend of mine has one that has survived two hurricanes at the ROAV Mid Atlantic Rally where in successive years we had seven and nine inches of rain fall in 24 hours. Coupled with high winds and biblical amounts of rain the tent...

Great idea for the end of the hammock not attached to the roof rack of the truck. How long are the tripod tubes and ridgepole? What wall thickness tubing are you using? Is the other washer welded to the ridgepole? We are so copying this idea.... with a tripod I could have the hammock under the...
