    That's a really cool idea - hope you do well with it.

    OzTent Owners, Carry Bag Question

    I used to use Estex Manufacturing in Fairburn, GA to make a lot of special pads and bags for Lockheed. They make a lot of stuff for the airlines. Joe Lattanzi was my main contact there. They could make up a big duffle type bag using some heavy vinyl fabric if you give him a sketch of what you...

    High Quality ground tent !

    A friend of mine has one and it has survived two hurricanes that hit central Virginia when we were up there for the Mid Atlantic Rally in successive years. One year there was 7" of rain in 24 hours the next years there was 9" of rain in 24 hours. The ground underneath was dry when we took the...

    ARB fridge Slide in Truck

    Are those the Accuride 9308 slides? What length did you choose and how well do they work in the laid down position like you have them?

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    Took a family shot of the three diesels today - the gasoline powered 1967 Series IIA is in the garage getting a frame up restoration so it couldn't join the party. L-R 1985 - 2017 - 1966

    Vintage "poop" tent

    Eureka Timberline - one of the worlds greatest tents. When the waterproofing coating on mine started flaking off after about twenty years that thing smelled so rank that people in the next campsite were asking "What died around here?" I couldn't figure out a way to save it so it had to go.

    Found very heavy duty tent stakes at Home Depot

    Bought some US Army surplus aluminum stakes at the local Army Navy store for $1.49 each. I have some of those big plastic stakes I bought at Harbor Freight which work ok in soft ground but break pretty easily.

    Photobucket

    Just deleted my Photobucket account after ten years with them. They weren't very good anyway and the new pricing structure was the final nail in the coffin for me. I emptied out all the galleries and deleted the account just in case they decide to get creative about charging you even if you...

    Photobucket

    I've used smugmug for years - its a pay account but I enjoy taking photographs and sharing them with a lot of people. Smugmug was started by the guy who runs advrider.com and we all saw it as a way of supporting him for years. Now his kids runs smugmug and its a truly professional photo hosting...

    Anyone using two refrigerators...

    I was checking out the Snomaster dual zone fridge at Overland Expo last fall - very cool piece. It's nice to have ice cream on a camping trip.

    Intrigued by the LR3...currently have an 06 Montero

    Plus the 300 HP of the V-8 makes it feel like a hot rod compared to anything but a supercharged Range Rover in typical Land Rover experiences. Get the V-8.

    Intrigued by the LR3...currently have an 06 Montero

    I had a 2007 until two weeks ago - put over 50,000 relatively trouble free miles on it in four years and liked it so much that I decided to buy a 2017 Discovery 5 diesel. It really is a world of difference between the previous Discoverys. The 4.4 V-8 is a great engine - 300 HP and better fuel...

    What is your expedition camera of choice if you could only choose one? Or two?

    The biggest baddest Pro level Canon or Nikon full frame DSLR you can afford with a couple of lenses. Yes they are heavy and bulky but they are weather sealed and generally have very high ISO capability allowing you to shoot in conditions that will have you putting other cameras away. The fast...

    Is this a series III

    Definitely a Series 3, hood hinges, plastic dash, windshield washer, door hinges and plastic grille are all indicators. No

    2007 LAND ROVER LR3 HSE - $9500

    Sold to some good friends of mine who wanted to give their Tahoe to one of the daughters so she'd have something safer to transport the the soon to be grandbaby. Plus Nancy has been telling me ever since I bought it that she wanted the first shot at it when I sold it. Of course I cut them a...

    2007 LAND ROVER LR3 HSE - $9500

    Price adjustment - after doing some research I realize that I've got it priced too high so I'm dropping the asking price to $8500. Since I'm back up to five Land Rover in the driveway I'm beginning to reach critical mass here. I know from past experience that 6 or more Rovers pushes the limits...

    2017 Discovery drive..Land Rover is getting back to its old self again!

    My LR3 has been a great truck - its one of the reasons I decided to try the D5. I could have waited and driven the 3 a couple of more years because my ultimate goal is to order one of the next Defenders as soon as they are introduced. But I thought it would be nice to drive something new for a...
