Put me on the list for two boxes - a friend of mine has some of these and they are just the right size for what I want. - JackW

Shortly after I bought the Defender - it came with the ARB bumper - about all I had added at this point was the lights and Warn winch Not too many exterior changes - alloys with mud terrains, Hannibal roof rack and awning, Maggiolina roof tent, rear tire carrier and rear bumperettes, home...

A friend of mine still has the Pentax Spotmatic he bought in 1970 and he's taken some great photographs with it - Pentax had some really good glass back then. Another friend of mine can sell every Spotmatic he can get his hands on to the local art school students - great camera to learn the...

A friend of mine whose girlfriend was very amply endowed had a close encounter with a June bug that came through his unscreened vent in his SIIA. The bug bounced off her upper chest and down into her low cut blouse where it proceeded to thrash around. Much screaming and bouncing around ensued...

Trees can be a real pain - we were up at Tellico a few years back and drove up a dead end trail to the top of a bald mountaintop for lunch. On the way back out we rounded a turn in the trail and saw this: It hadn't been there our on our way up the trail about two hours earlier. I got on the...

Canon G11 & G12 cameras have a flip out screen. I have an older Canon G5 with one and the feature does come in handy. The flip out screen feature was discontinued for the Canon G6 through G10 models but reinstated when the G11 came out 2-3 years ago. I use a G10 at work and its a remarkable...

This one.... I'm sorta liking the DC100 as a replacement for my Honda CRV - I'd keep the D-90 and Series trucks though....

A friend of mine has one of those - not too impressed with it. But the Cabela's Alaskan Guide tent is a great tent - absolutely waterproof. I've got an older version of the 4 person Eureka Tetragon tent that I've been very happy with - good performance in downpours and easy to set up.

My Rover set up at Uwharrie this past weekend - Tyrone's Conqueror trailer in the back ground

Had a great time and didn't bend/break anything - thanks to Old North State for putting on a great event. My pictures are here http://solaros1.smugmug.com/Land-Rover-Events/Uwharrie-Fall-2011-URE8/19727261_F2tZR5#1548852865_3r9nnHs

A few of the Solaros crowd are coming up on Thursday - unfortunately I have to work that day so I'll be heading out from Atlanta EARLY Friday morning so I'll be up there before noon. My truck is already packed except for clothes, camera and food so I'm about 95% ready to go. Hope to be on the...

using a tripod with a bubble level on a ball head is nice - here's one I shot two weeks ago from the roof rack of my Land Rover on Buck Bald in Tennessee but you can shoot hand held and get good results as well. I stitched these together in photoshop. Scott Kelby teaches his students...

Sorry - that's a Triumph GT-6 - Hardtop coupe based on the Spitfire with a 6 cylinder engine under the hood. SAAB Sonnets have a fiberglass body so they don't rust like that.....

as you can sort of see in this picture I moved the Maggiolina forward enough to have a jerry can holder on the rack behind the back of the tent. I'll probably put another holder on the other side for a 5 gallon Sceptre water can. There would be enough room for a tent or some other load without...

Its an older Maggiolina Roof Tent that I picked up used from a friend of mine. Its a little cozier than an all canvas tent and sets up in around 1 minute (flip three latches - insert the crank and spin it about a dozen times then grab the ladder out of the inside - ready to sleep.) It takes...
