Mine shed rain pretty well in a deluge last September. We had a strong rainstorm blow in at a car show and it didn't collect much water. I didn't have side straps pulled too tightly either.

I run 235/85R16's on my Defender - I'm running the BFG Mud T/A Km2's now but had Cooper STT's previously. I liked the Coopers except I didn't see the tread wear I expected out of them - somewhere in the mid 20K range. I've been spoiled by BFG where I get mid 30K to 40K out of them for around the...

For still pictures I'm using the smugmug pay site but I'm much happier with it than I was with photobucket - no annoying ads and its run by the guy who runs ADVRIDER so it helps to support one of my favorite websites. Well worth the $20 a year or so it costs. I'm not sure if they have a video...

900 Lb trailer is no problem for a 90 - my Boler weighed around that and I towed it to MAR and Uwharrie with no issues. I've also towed a friends single axle aluminum car trailer with my 1800 lb 356 Porsche loaded on it for many trips - it was a bit slower but still comfortable. I'd try not to...

A quick shot of my 1966 diesel 109

Gabriel wants to wish all the other dogs a happy Valentines Day

No its a 1978 Boler 13' fiberglass trailer - they were built from the early 1970's to the mid-1980's and then the Scamp Trailer company bought the molds. It weighs around 900 lbs and tows like a dream. I just sold it for $3600 to help finance my Porsche 356 restoration. For lots more...

Hannibal awning on the roof rack of the truck - Kelty awning on the trailer

I know - exactly what I'd like too... here are a couple of more pictures to fan the flame....

I had a 13' Boler (predecessor to the Scamp) and I towed it behind my Defender up smooth dirt roads with no issues. The Bolers have trailing link style axle and you can purchase the axles in different drop angles which will effectively raise the trailer a couple of inches. I've also seen...

We have a local car show the first Sunday of each month - I generally have the tallest car there....

12 week old Standard Poodle - 15 lbs and just under 16" tall (top of the head) very sweet and well behaved - except for the chewing - we had forgotten how sharp puppy teeth are...

look at Ram mounts - I have a camera mount in my Land Rover using parts available from them - I buy them from GPS City

One of our club members decorates his Range Rover for the holidays - here's a somewhat crappy shot but it was the best I could do without a tripod

just brought home a 10 week old Standard Poodle puppy today - really cute little guy that loves being a lap dog...

I've been through several periods where my daily driver (and only running vehicle) was one of my Series trucks. In your situation I wouldn't hesitate to get a Series - they are simpler and far less likely to break, easier to get parts for and easier to fix unless the transmission fails than...

I've loaded a bunch of pictures of the Land Rovers I've owned over the last 37 years on my smugmug web page here - there's still a couple I haven't found pictures of yet. http://solaros1.smugmug.com/Cars/Land-Rovers/

My first car (not my choice - my dad bought it for me for $50) was a Renault Dauphine - after that POS - anything - including worn out Land Rovers is an improvement. My second car - First one I paid for - was a 1965 Corvair Corsa turbocharged convertible which I happily spent several years...

I'm still using my down Snow Lion bag I bought in 1978 - keeps me toasty down to the low thirties. For colder weather I stick it inside one of the fleece zip up bags you can buy at Walmart for $10 - that will take it comfortably down into the high teens - any colder than that I don't want to be...

I've toured the Munich BMW plant, Porsche and Mercedes in Stuttgart, Land Rover in Solihull, GM and Ford in Atlanta and the Defender final line was one of the shortest in overall length of any manufacturing line Ive seen. The bodies are all pre-painted and I'm sure there is a lot of work in the...
